What makes a good ski sock?

I use Smartwool paid about £16 from the ski show about six years ago, as you guys know I only have one pair of socks and they have lasted extremely well ....really good value for money :thumbup:

This is all well and good, but the problem is the chunky calfs (or is it calves?). Have emailed the site that wickers suggested

If her calves are really that big

then the only solution I can think of is a pair of BootDoc compression socks.
I order to determine the right size she will have to have her calves measured
If you don't want to shell out €39.95 a pair http://shop.sport65.de/product_info.php?language=en&products_id=2189 she could just wear pop socks.

If the circumference of her calves is greater than 17" when measured at approx 11" from the floor she will have major boot fit / function issues. Ski boots are designed to fit people whose calves are 13-14" in circumference.

Dang, that's another use for Duct Tape I had not considered :shock:
