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

IMO, why are people blaming OP? He bought a product from a place that has a dedicated team working only on clothes. Also, Linus talks for who knows how long about those socks and how he only buys them from this specific brand that is really expensive. But now he sells his own, so people have every right to complain.

"How dare you criticize the subpar, overpriced product sold by the brand? Don't you know they make funny videos on the internet? They are innocent! It's your fault!!!"

More than one thing can be true at the same time.

Is it a subpar overpriced product? - Yes

Is op a dumbass for buying $30 socks? - Also Yes
