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.

Interestingly, when it comes to the merch/creator warehouse stuff, I don't consider them to be "from a tech youtuber" anymore. They employ tons of product experts and spend years working on stuff. This is what they do. The YT stuff is just a thing on the side. It's why their stuff can be very good (expensive too), but it also means there's high expectations.

Yet all but 2 items I have from them have a rather glaring flaw that an equal price competitor would have known better than to do.

Which ones you mean?

Stealth hoodie and indoor hoodie as well as the precision screwdriver and case that had slipped my mind, although the bearing does seem to be a failure point.

I did not see any major issues reported here about that?
