Down Socks

[bigroomboy]

I'm after some of these for SWMBO, I have the exped synbooties which are good but were hard to track down a couple of years ago. She wants something a bit more girly. these look good but I can't find them in the UK http://www.amazon.com/Baffin-Base-Camp-Insulated-Bootie/dp/B002C75IAG/ref=pd_sbs_shoe_2 the dusk colour medium are market place and they won't ship int.

I looked at the MEC ones they look good but are $39 now plus $50 shipping then VAT and handling fee! Shame because I was in MEC this time last year!

The Nanoks look great but without a decent cordura sole I think they are less useful in the lavuu. Any body have any others they know of?

Thanks for the reply guys, Greek1983 those carinthias look much better in your pic than the product one, quite nice. Treefrog, I saw those in your earlier post but she is insistant that must be a bit girly and they are only available in black at the moment so thats a no go but the primaloft filling is tempting.

any idea what the sizing on the carinthia booties is? only has M and L listed but not what shoe size that is?

 

[Greek1983]

According to this PDF

EU sizes

M = 36 - 40
L = 41 - 45

EDIT: Found another shop in Germany that sells them

http://www.walkonthewildside.eu/Sch....html?XTCsid=7aefa014e00d5550822f8dfcf8802e75

And shipping costs to UK are 7.95 Euros.
