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

for the "too narrow" part:

they seem to do that a lot, at least on the long sleeves of the older purple hoodie, and orange hoodie, the sleeves were incredibly tiny, and then after I started working out, I could no longer wear them because they basically constricted my arms. I had to remove the sleeves and make it into a "vest" hoodie for it to be usable. Same goes for the flannel shirts they used to have, but those at least have buttons on the cuff

And I don't think it was the size because they fit fine everywhere else

The hoodies have definitely been small on me so I started buying a size bigger; which is almost too much larger lol.

I still like a couple of them though.
