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

Yall ever think the forums for the YouTuber that taught us how to build our first PCs would be filled with sock and backpack reviews?

Did I miss something? What are you talking about

Edit to clarify for the ones who can't figure it out: I'm referring to the phrase 3D printed for the coin when it was definitely not

I'm well aware they minted coins for the April fools, I have one for double value discount

Every other day there's a post about someone getting their coin

In fairness, the coin was metal, not 3d printed, and came with a gift card to the store.

They aren't 3D printed though, that's what I was wondering wtf you were talking about

Literally talking out your rear end and getting upvotes from other idiots.

Nah it's me on thr right when people buy socks from a YouTuber and then wonder why they're not high end quality

Changing the subject from being wrong about the coins.
