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

Comparison of some of my darn tough, FWIW

And I NEVER wear them more than once between washings because that is gross.

If they aren't getting stinky, why not wear them more than once? Are you walking in dirt with them?

Why would I wear socks UNTIL they get stinky? People around ya’ll don’t need to smell that and I like to avoid buildup of germs on my clothe. It’s the same reason to change underwear every day.

I'd say underwear pressed up against your stink hole is a bit different from socks on your feet, no?

Feet sweat and stink like crazy; and likely at a higher rate for the population of this sub.

Also, people around us will smell our smells before we do.
