Can't help you on sizing. I will say that wearing your socks too tight greatly increases your chances of blisters.


Edit: and wearing your socks (and shoes) too tight pretty much guarantees your toes and feet will be cold. If cold is the main issue, and you have to choose one thing, you'll be better off getting shoes and socks that give your toes and midfoot complete unrestricted movement. If you've never tried this before, you'll be surprised at how much warmer your feet stay, than they do in insulated footwear that cut off your circulation.
yeah Oakleaf i know what you mean by too tight socks and what i meant was that i like them to fit snug, like i know some people like their socks a little loose... (my mum) as for boots... BF just told me he threw away the boots i bought last year coz he says they were too ugly... I'm not buying boots here. probably go there and buy Uggs..(i'm just knocking myself over my head for this i should have just bought the uggs last year, but they seemed sooo expensive!). I'll do fine for a day or two with my runners, with some wool socks

Anyone has good idea for boots?

Actually shootingstar, it was quite manageable last year as long as i kept moving. I had an ugly but warm down jacket and it wasn't too bad. and mostly i stayed at home, and we have good central heating. I think last year was quite cold, not sure how it'll be this year.
