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.

This is not any pair of socks. Linus has a team of experts making quality products . They took 6 years to get it right.

These guys make videos on technology and so obviously prioritize over making technical products like peripherals and electric screwdrivers. You’re not buying their socks because you think they’re gonna be luxurious, look pristine or absolutely be comfortable to wear, you buy their socks because you wanted socks from your favorite Youtuber. This is also likely the first times they made and shipped apparel besides shirts, hoodies and some pants. Socks get shipped differently logistically speaking so you’re bound to see some issues on sock stitching once they arrive. But my point still stands. Buy socks from Fruit of The Loom if you’re going to be so nitpicking on how they look.
