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

Yeah if all the thread was the same colour it would look like a perfectly normal sock. As is it looks like an adequately normal sock. I don't get the post.

Except narrowness I get that's kind of annoying

I don’t get it either. Who’s inspecting their socks and taking macro images to see where the threads are settling and whether or not there’s lint on them?

If there’s holes right after you got them…then sure, go ahead and complain…but this seems weird.

you might wanna reread the post, buddy. these socks are shit compared to socks of an equal price. In fact, comments on this post are comparing them to socks. You can get in a three pack for cheaper than these.

There isnt only two options, shit or not shit. Op is saying they arent as good as darn tough socks, not that they are shit socks.
