Therefore, the feet are neither in direct touch with socks, nor the boots. It is worth mentioning, those wrestling shoes which they have used are made of cotton, at least the upper part. | |
| Dec 14, 2020 at 10:13 | comment | added | njzk2 | Also, do you know the current temperature rating of your winter mountaineering boots? | |
| Dec 14, 2020 at 10:13 | comment | added | njzk2 | I'm not sure I see how wrestling shoes fit in this scheme, can you elaborate? | |

| Dec 14, 2020 at 8:58 | comment | added | Amid | @BenCrowell, very good point, Ben. Actually, my current boots are 2 sizes bigger than my actual shoe size, for example my normal shoe size is 45 based on EU but my boots are 47. btw, the mountain is in Asia! Anyway, thanks for your great edition of the question :) | |
