The first washing of these socks left them covered in excessive lint pills.  I actually used my fuss buster on each sock before folding and putting away.  Hopefully it won't be like that every time I wash them.  These socks are summer weight.  They don't have those annoying nubby corners on the toes so they're comfortable enough to wear.  I'm just concerned about how long they'll last.  For every day "priced right" socks, they're ok until I find really good comfortable long lasting socks.
