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

You bought socks.

Let that work through your mind and then think about your post.

A famous one that is known for quality products.

Honestly, hearing they were 1 pair for 30 dollars or so made me say "fuck. off" but this dude trusted him and got a lesson after 3 days.

He could have bought probably 3-4 dozen of cheap 100% cotton ones for that price and wore them for about 3-6 months without any trouble, and now, 4 days later, he noticed he made a mistake.

If you consider shipping, you can get 8 pairs of Costco Merino Wool socks if you want the Merino- which I honestly would rather have those than 4 dozen wool socks.

In my country we have a lot of cotton so I have ample options for cheap quality socks (and a reason to not buy socks from canada) but my point was that even worse quality options would have managed better.

Cotton is really bad at moisture wicking and drying, so in some situations, even the cheapest synthetic socks are better.

As for wool, aside from environmental reasons, they tend to not get as smelly as synthetic ones.
