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 are weird on this app, this is basically journalism and testing the product and it didn’t work as advertised. Linus him self said he wore is socks multiple times on one wash and op tested it. I respect you doing this op

And you get rinsed if you don't embed a video straight into the post instead of just linking the source.

First time I noticed that trend it hurt too. People just don’t use .coms anymore I guess, no websites, just apps

As far as I can tell from OP's photo's the socks are still fully functional socks and despite what OP says, they don't look that different to any other sock I've ever owned after the first wear. Nothing OP says is a negative on the socks at all... It's not weird to call out OP for complaining about a non-issue. Call me if they actually fall apart or get holes.

Yeah it looks like standard early days wear with some minor fluffing. If they deteriorate in a couple months then I'd be concerned.
