I've tried this both models-half shoes and booties, which is also available from Hot Sox, who like proper socks high society. I want to put all my heart, the model to buy the high society, even if they cost a few euros more. these ones are very uncomfortable, thus this is the opening very tight and even point at a foot sitting where you actual an opening not used so it feels really strange to-this opinion is also my mother and my husband, I unfortunately bought all this "half" model habe.Dieses model are not as warm as the booties, clear, since they are only half as high again to escape the heat faster. I will now provide the whole family with the booties, as far as we've just me such. This half high version makes this shoe for me absolutely no sinn.was the terms booties that are simply fantastic as they a) sit well and b) the heat lasts much longer. Therefore: Buying tip for booties absolutely, but not for this mid-cut model!
