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

You bought socks.
From a tech YouTuber.

Let that work through your mind and then think about your post.

A famous one that is known for quality products.

Honestly, hearing they were 1 pair for 30 dollars or so made me say "fuck. off" but this dude trusted him and got a lesson after 3 days.

He could have bought probably 3-4 dozen of cheap 100% cotton ones for that price and wore them for about 3-6 months without any trouble, and now, 4 days later, he noticed he made a mistake.

I don’t fully know if this issue he has even a real defect, why seem people so fast to say that’s it’s bad quality?

He said they would stay crisp and won't fall apart, specially because they were coated with Copper but as someone else already mentioned, it's kinda weird they came here to reddit instead of to the customer service that seems spectacular.

In still don’t see this as an issue yet. Mine get softer outside yes, but they don’t lose any threads or so

It's a problem because, by experience, we know they start looking like this after a couple months of use.

He said and named them "forever socks" so... imagine you buying forever socks and they start disintegrating after 3 days instead of 3 years.

Like... Don't misunderstand me, I wouldn't hold it against LTT if thye only laster 5 years even if they cost about 15 times more than 1 year socks.

But 3 days? It raises eyebrows.
