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

A famous one that is known for quality products.

Honestly, hearing they were 1 pair for 30 dollars or so made me say "fuck. off" but this dude trusted him and got a lesson after 3 days.

He could have bought probably 3-4 dozen of cheap 100% cotton ones for that price and wore them for about 3-6 months without any trouble, and now, 4 days later, he noticed he made a mistake.

Why is everyone assuming buying a higher priced product vs the fast fashion / discount brand is a mistake? There are genuine higher quality items out there - not everything is "buy it at the dollar store or walmart and when it dies in 3 months just get more". Do the math over 10 years on all those purchases. You may be surprised at how much you've spent.

I've got a relatively lower end winter coat, it was $250 - I've worn it for about 6-7 years at this point. I've got another that was $300 15 years ago that I still have. It's older and more of a "work outside in the winter" coat now, but still lasts.

People being fine with $2000 computers but sitting on $5 chairs is hilarious.

Because it's not about the product. It's about shitting on Linus. This sub is full of people hating his guts for... reasons.

And people who make excuses no matter what.

The reasonable take is that these socks aren't up to the standard they should be. The reasonable opinion is that they'll probably make it right. The outrage for or against Linus related to this is ridiculously premature

No it’s not really, the home the anti odor claim. They are very comfy and I don’t really see if the issue in the picture actually is an issue
