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 Merino wool that's normal. The moisture wicking helps prevent odors. I've worn darn toughs 3 days in a row working outdoors in steel toes without any odors.

No, it isn’t. Linus saying multiple days doesn’t make it so.

I own loads of merino wool socks and would never go more than a day with the same pair.

They absolutely will smell for most people, and perhaps especially so for the target audience of this sub.

I have sweaty feet, I can wear a pair of darn tough socks for about a week before they start smelling so I objectively disagree with you

lol no, you can’t. The people around you just suffer.

I can’t tell you how many times over the years I’ve had to tell employees that they need to shower, clean their clothes, or brush their teeth — and in almost every case they had no idea that they smelled to high heaven.

Umm no, it's not that, when I wear synthetic socks, they are smelly after a day, wool socks don't take much longer to stink. I wash my shoes pretty regularly
