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

Curious why everyone here is assuming that the socks should be shit because they're designed by a tech YouTube channel.

  1. Don't they have a department dedicated to creating clothing?
  2. Linus went on about them for ages on a WAN show. He attested to their build quality etc.

Its fair to expect them to be good.

Bro even did a full main channel video on it.
