    Ah thats good then. Hopefully the foot shape wont be an issue as I will only be wearing them with very thick socks like Heat Holders. Will see how I get on, maybe get a new pear at some point if possible.

    Thnx.

    Nothing too fancy, an Ortleib map case and a OS map of Loch Morar & Mallaig and some conditioning cream for my boots

    Cheers

    Didn't get any width option, just standard size. I'm a 8 in shoes but went for a 9 for boots. My feet are a bit of a wide 8 so hopefully the 9 should be ok.
