Call Arthur at SDS Chris and check if he has any old stock left; If he has he'll turn them around for you quite quickly!

Take your thermal booties with you and check a few sizes. You want them to fit snuggly as they will baggy a bit when wet.

If you were to trace your foot (bare) it should only be the surface that is actually touching the paper i.e link a print of your foot and not the edge of your foot.

I'm a UK size 8 shoe and the socks that work for me (with 400g booties) are the M/L

SDS will be pretty low on stock I'd have thought, they only had new L (or XL, can't remember now!) when I got mine done. They might have some cut-offs tho, my mediums they put on the TLS for me had come off another suit where someone wanted large on

Definitely give them a shout tho - they can get 'em put on for you!

I just have new soles put on my suit (changed L to M-L) and since they were on stock it took only a few days, including pressure test of course.

PS In Germany so probably no use for you, but it CAN be done quickly!

regards, Roel

Just of couriosity: what's the price of such service in Germany (soles, installation, pressure test)?
