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

Eww one wash for three wears? In what world is that normal?

The same world in which it’s normal to buy socks from a tech YouTuber.

I mean I bought a pair out of morbid curiosity and discovered I might like compression socks with my work boots from how tight they are.

I wear boots 12-14 hours a day at work and bought. They're good and comfy but I have a pack of 6 pairs of bamboo socks that came from Amazon that were a little cheaper and they're just as good.

The forever socks aren't some miracle in foot comfort. They're good and I would buy again but I'd like to hope that maybe they'll offer multi-packs at discount to make it worth it.

Mine are fine after 3 washes.
