 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey all,
Was about to order some Smartwool PHD medium socks for my rip to Tignes next month, but i'm not sure what size to buy.
U. K. Euro
Sock Size Children Women Men
Small 9 - 11.5 4 - 6.5 2 - 4.5 34 - 37
Medium 12 - 2.5 7 - 9.5 6 - 8.5 5 - 7.5 38 - 41
Large 3 - 6 10 - 12.5 9 - 11.5 8 - 10.5 42 - 45
X-Large 12 - 14.5 11 - 13.5 46 - 49
My feet in normal shoes are 10.5 to 11 UK, so I'm right in between "large" and "XL". One reviewer said that they were a pretty snug/small fit, so I'm thinking "large".
If you have them, what size are your shoes and what size Smartwools are you wearing?
Oh, and are they any good?

not sure if they have changed their sizing since i used them a couple of years back but if they haven't a large will be good
if you have a very wide foot then you may need to go up as the sock has to stretch in more than one direction but average width or narrow then the large should be fine
(assumption made that they haven't changed size ratios)

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

Andythejock, My husband uses Smartwool socks and likes them - he has a wide foot, takes a 9 - 9 1/2 shoe and finds the large size is fine. However, after washing the first pair he had, on too hot a wash, discovered that they are prone to shrinkage  Consequently, that pair were passed to our son......

That's a worry! Ended up trying 'em on in Ellis Brighams after paying a visit to Cairngotm this weekend. Large was fine.
Says 40C is ok on instructions - i take it you used 60C?
Do most foks take a fresh pair of socks for a week's skiing? Maybe not necessary for Merino wool?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I found that mine shrunk slightly with washing, if you're not sure, get the XL and put them in at 40deg, they will tighten up a bit.
I am a size 10 but fairly wide foot, and use L, but any bigger in any direction and I'd want a bigger size.

Too late - I've already got them!
Got large, but hopefully will be ok as I'm a 10.5.
