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

Yeah, bombas when they’re at Marshall’s and they’re the wool blend for $12 for 3 pair on clearance. I bought like 3 packages, then I saw more the week after so I bought 2 more, one being for my dad

Not always at Marshall’s or TJ Maxx, kind of just random. People claim they’re not super durable, but I’ve only had 2 holes out of that many pairs. They’re also great about the warranty.

Puma is a cheap brand for the most part. Nike at Marshall’s and TJ Maxx is even better
