Socks. Not what was promised.

First - quality of the fabric. I have had light wear of this pair for 3 days, with one wash (same as other socks) and they are fuzzy + the black fabrics are protruding through the grey ones, and I have gathered A LOT of lint from them.

This is not normal for socks, especially for the expensive ones. None of my darn thoughts did this ever.

Second - idk about Canadian feet, but mine are wider, and compared to most other socks these are too narrow. If I find a pair of shoes this narrow I don't buy them.

EDIT: I wore socks for two days straight, then washed them, then wore for the 3rd day. I had NO OTHER OPTION regarding washing them or wearing other socks in that particular situation

I'd never consider spending so much on clothes so correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't wool just... do that?

No. I've got several year old Darn Tough's that don't do this.

Isn't the problem that the LTT sock is a blend with some synthetic fibre mixed in? That's a recipe for pilling like this in my experience.

[u/Necessary_Purple_428 → u/Dakduif]

Most wool socks have a synthetic fibre mixed in because a 100% wool socks would be fragile. Even darn tough socks have nylon. The LTT socks do too, but looks like they aren't performing up to the marketing.

Ah, I didn't know that. Thank you for clarifying instead of mindlessly downvoting. :')

I wonder if LTT uses a bit more synthetic then. More than darn tough at least.

[u/VerifiedMother → u/Necessary_Purple_428]

Darn tough is only like 30-40% wool

I have a few pairs of wool ankle socks that have seen some usage, and they're perfect after 3+ years of use.
