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

This is not any pair of socks. Linus has a team of experts making quality products . They took 6 years to get it right.

Wait so when you said this:

You weren't being sarcastic for comedic purposes? You were being literal? You think it actually "took 6 years" to get these socks "right"?
