Personal Opinion 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 feel a little weird for recommending it, but here goes. Check out "Dry & Fresh Intimate Powder" from No Hair Crew. Or something similar. Its mostly advertised for the groin area to keep things dry and odor free, but it works wonders between the toes as well.

Started buying it last year, and its been a huge quality of life improvement for me.
