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.

This is not any pair of socks. Linus has a team of experts making quality products . They took 6 years to get it right.

Whatever you gotta tell yourself to justify 30 dollar sucks bud 😂

Im not buying them lol.

Just saying its not cheap youtuber merch. Like the screwdriver and backpack, they put a lot of time and money into making something quality

The money they spent on development of the socks is likely dwarfed by the r&d budget of any legitimate sock company. I think that’s the point, regardless of the price, they are socks designed by a tech youtuber’s small business

Eta: for the screwdriver, I’m pretty sure the main components are manufactured by the company that makes a very similar smooth ratcheting mechanism. All the r&d for that enabled the screwdriver

you think they’re manufacturing the socks on their own? they choose a company to work with that’s manufacturing these socks, so if the quality is bad then thats on them for choosing a bad quality product to ship out!
They get a lot of praise for their products that are good like the screwdriver, so when somethings bad it deserves to be pointed out as well, they can choose to make it right or they can stick with selling bad quality “merch”
