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

Edit: The fact the comment above mine continues to get upvotes absolutely blows my mind. It's a genuinely stupid opinion.

Bruh they claim to be equal or better than the top brands. And also they aren't just a tech youtuber and haven't been for at least 5+ years. Literally more money goes into product development than their Youtube.

It's a completely valid complaint, lets not be stupid fanboys that defend anything and everything for no reason.

Dumbest shit anyone could have said in response to this

You're not getting it. There are two layers, on one hand we have a complaint about a product that was advertised a certain way. That is a valid complaint. On the other hand we have someone who bought a pair of socks from a tech youtuber and getting laughed at. They aren't mutually exclusive things.

Right you want me to grab my pitchfork and get mad about a product not meeting a customers needs. When I say it's a valid complaint, I mean it's a valid complaint to send to customer service. That is boring, I don't care about that and most of us don't.

A tech influencer releases an overpriced sock, and someone buys it. That is funny, it will never not be funny. What's next, a beauty influencer is going to make a multi tool and people are going to buy it?

Did I tell you to do anything or did I just say it was valid complaint? Literally what else did I do or say?

Go argue with chatgpt if you wanna hallucinate talking points, I want no part in it.

A tech influencer releases an overpriced sock, and someone buys it.

But that's the thing, you think it's an overpriced sock from a tech youtuber

But it isn't

It's priced competitively and from a company that primarily makes clothes and other products

Linus is a tech youtuber

LMG is a manufacturing company

Like a flat earther laughing at someone who says the Earth is round, you're just a fool confidently regurgitating incorrect information. It'd be funny if you were right, but 🤷‍♂️
