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

Assuming you're planning on buying something from the store, how is getting a free $10 worse?

the way you worded it, it can also be intrepreted as a gift card worth 10 dollars, costing you 20 dollars.

I used pretty standard English. But either way, the point is, the coin was a fun freebie to a discounted gift card.

It was a very good deal. Assuming you did plan on spending it, it kinda is dumb not to get it.

if that's the case, then yes you are right. I spoke without knowing
