...of socks and then a pair of thick walking socks over the top for comfort and warmth. **********Width/Size********** I am an E/F width, I have one foot sized 7 ½ and the other an 8, which is a pain, which is why I couldn't go up to the next size as the 7 ½ foot would have been too lose in a nine so I have a size 8 which is quite a good snug fit. The boot does however only go up to a size eight, but there is always men's?! The width is good for me too, however I keep the lower section of the boot loser when I tie my laces and the ankle support quite tight to secure my foot and prevent it slipping in my boot. **********Price********** Peter Storm is often a slightly cheaper make to other competitors like North Face, Regatta, Gore-Tex or Berghaus.

I own a pair of Goretex boots, and my socks seem to be able to work well between the systems, helping my feet to breathe which is a great advantage , helping me to walk those last few miles pain and sweat free! Each ascent sock is made from 49% Coolmax®, 27% Merino wool, 23% Nylon and 1% Lycra. The cool max to help the sock keep... Read review
