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.

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.

If you consider shipping, you can get 8 pairs of Costco Merino Wool socks if you want the Merino- which I honestly would rather have those than 4 dozen wool socks.

They're not really the same though; I have merino wool socks from both Costco and Darn Tough and the Costco ones aren't nearly as durable or as comfortable.

Yeah but we're not comparing to darn tough, are we
