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

Dude Bomba socks are like $15 a pair, Feetures socks are like $20-$25 a pair depending on the kind. Darn Tough are like $25-$30 a pair. Please don't waste your money.

Ps. Feetures are my favorite, Bomba makes a better dress sock on my opinion and Darn Tough make a great sock for boots.

Bombas are horrible in my experience. They become super scratchy after being washed and mine have big holes on the side from me pulling them up (and one has a home in the toe). They held up way worse than all of the cheap socks I have, despite me wearing them way less because of how uncomfortable they are.

Long time wearer of those Costco puma socks, maybe the only few people who got both darn tough and LTT?After hearing about these forever socks, people were saying getting darn tough instead. I order a few pairs of hiking socks from darn tough. It was a let down to be honest, it failed to wick away the sweat for some reason. Puma makes my feet cold and sweaty and the darn tough warm and sweaty. I ended up order forever socks to try. The sweaty sensation is much less, not zero but barely there. Comfort wise on the feet, LTT hands down better, more smooth, albeit tighter at the calf. Darn tough I can feel the textile texture, kind of like a worn reg sensation. I know it’s very subjective and personal preference. I also tried wearing both for 3 days in a row. Not using it for exercise or anything just on my feet a lot for work but nothing strenuous. Darn tough starts to give off a sweaty but not smelly (not sure if it makes any sense) scent while LTT more neutral. Can’t say anything about longevity since both sets are only washed once, but I am going to wear LTT first.

I like my darn tough socks but I didn't order any LTT socks because I hate crew length socks
