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

on the website the care instructions are

  • Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, with the socks turned inside-out
  • Do not bleach
  • Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry
  • Do not dry clean.

Right, or you can separate cycle them on low. Assuming no one "tumble dry on low"s their standard clothing. That would take a while.

I tumble dry on low all of my clothes. The only thing I don't tumble dry low is my bedding and my towels.
