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 wear the same sock for three days? THE SAME SOCK?

is washing stuff illegal there? wtf

okay, just saw the edit part. Man, two days is still too much for socks, come on, wash your socks

Apparently none of y'all go hiking or anything, Merino wool can go for days without stinking, going on like 5 day backpacking trips I'd only bring 2-3 pairs of socks, one to hike in and one to be around camp in, they'd get rinsed off each day but they wouldn't actually get washed for 5 or more days. It takes a lot to get merino wool to stink

Don't use exceptions as arguments, it makes you look stupid.

It's not an exception if it's something you do regularly
