Socks that don't leave fluff in toes!?!

Does anyone have any decent affordable socks recommendations please?

I've been buying M&S forever, but the ones from the last few years leave SO much black fluff in your toes when you take them off - it looks awful! I assumed the issue would resolve after a few washes, but, no. Still as much as the first wear! I've put up with it for a couple of years but now I'm looking for replacements.

I'm looking for plain everyday ones, but stretchy. Bonus points if seam free.
Also need some warm ones too.

Thank you.

Sporty type socks don’t do this for me. Nike or M&S goodmove ones

Uniqlo socks from the Wall of Colour are fab. They don’t shed and seem to last for ages. I think they’re 3 pairs for £12.

Bamboo socks don’t seem to shed. I buy green treat ( I think) from TK Maxx it’s 5 pairs for £13 ish but they wash really well.

School socks from uniform section! M&S or Next. Amazing value as no VAT. I wear them all the time and never had fluff. You can get thicker sport ones too.

Bamboo socks are my go to for everyday wear. My favourites are by Wren and Powder but they aren’t cheap. I’ll be checking out the TKMaxx ones! Wren and Powder don’t shed.

You could try washing current your socks inside out as rogue fluff is carried away and not trapped in the sock. Worth a try if you haven’t already!

Mine do! Bam brand. But they're lovely almost padded socks so I live with the fluff.
But as another poster suggests I was inside out

Always TKMaxx. Good selection and last well.
