Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

smartwool PHD socks - sizing question

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
I was thinking ordering some PHD ski socks from sportpursuit, but their size chart says:

large: EU 42-45
x-large: EU 46-49

Now my feet are the same size every day I wake up, but my shoes vary in size between 45 and 46 depending on the make (although occasionally a 47). For example ECCO shoes I'm definitely a 45, but in most other makes I'm a 46.

I feel that a 46-49 will be flapping around beyond my toes when wearing them (which isn't a sexy look in the boot room), but the 42-45 might make my toes feel cramped (although equally, being socks they might stretch beyond a 45).

So I'm leaning towards the large, but would appreciate any feedback for PHD wearers before I hit the "buy" button. snowHead

I think you'll be fine, I'm in the middle of size ranges for a medium sock, but thanks to the compression fit nothing is baggy. I reckon a large should do you, albeit you might wear through the toes quicker than most but I've rather have a tight and snug fit then a flapper!

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I am a 47 narrow foot and use smart wool in L. I recon it is more of the volume of your foot as opposed to length.

I'm a very wide 47 and have smartwool phd XL - they come up to my knee but I need the room in the foot. I'd concur with the others that say L would be right.

Because they have wool in them, if they are too big you just wash them on a slightly hot wash/tumble dry a bit and they shrink down just nicely. Mine are now a nice snug fit after a few years of use that had loosened them a little bit, after not really paying attention washing underwear and just chucking them in.

Buy small - I take a 42, but need the 38-41 ski socks from PHD. Don't want baggy socks.
