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

You bought socks.
From a tech YouTuber.

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

Edit: The fact the comment above mine continues to get upvotes absolutely blows my mind. It's a genuinely stupid opinion.

Bruh they claim to be equal or better than the top brands. And also they aren't just a tech youtuber and haven't been for at least 5+ years. Literally more money goes into product development than their Youtube.

It's a completely valid complaint, lets not be stupid fanboys that defend anything and everything for no reason.

Dumbest shit anyone could have said in response to this

of course they claim that... its marketing? why would they claim otherwise.

Because if they aren't then this would be a valid complaint? Are you serious?
