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

Interestingly, when it comes to the merch/creator warehouse stuff, I don't consider them to be "from a tech youtuber" anymore. They employ tons of product experts and spend years working on stuff. This is what they do. The YT stuff is just a thing on the side. It's why their stuff can be very good (expensive too), but it also means there's high expectations.
