go to the store in mid-afternoon with your own socks and sockliners,
I had been told years ago when I bought my Invernos to use liners plus two pairs of socks. Of course this depends on where you are going, but the extra thick cushioning allows for fit, and allows for more warmth if you plan to use them in subzero areas. This gives maximum usage for the boots - you cannot simply add double socks, say, if you anticipate an extra cold time, unless there is room in the boot to begin with. (Stuffing extra socks into a 'regular fit' will actually make your feet colder because of the resultant tighter fit compressing your circulation). Loose is better, no, actually it is required. The combination of (1) inner boot, and (2)loose enough fit for double wool socks, and (3) outer plastic shell impervious to wind and water, did the trick. I never had cold feet despite temps to minus 10F and thin air.
