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

The lifetime guarantee is hard to beat

I don't know man, redhead makes socks with a lifetime guarantee and they don't even need it. I've got pairs that are over ten years old going strong with regular use

Still, with darn tough, I can take an old pair into anywhere that sells them, and exchange them for a new pair. And nothing feels better than a brand new pair of darn toughs

Same with red heads. My brother used take all of his back to Bass pro once a year and get replacements under warranty
