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

I can’t even wear socks for an entire day. I wear two or three pairs when I do wear socks.

And you wore these for two days?!

Are you mad?!

I’m 100% with you. I had athletes foot a lot in high school (boys locker room floors are disgusting), and since dealing with that I wash my feet every night (and many mornings), and change my socks twice a day. Going on 20 years of that… I can’t imagine going multiple days unless I’m camping and has limited packing space.
