Heres an update for those of you following my FSB situation...
My 8.5 came in today and I feared I would be swimming in an olympic sized pool... I had been wearing 8.5 Innevas with no show socks on. The kind that girls wear with flats (super thin, almost like pantyhose). I put the FSB's on and yes, I was definitely swimming in them. I then thought "hey, these are mid-cut so I don't need no-shows" so I put on some crew cut Nike socks. Laced up the FSB's again and guess what? Not bad at all. Yes, they're laced all the way to the top but its necessary to keep your ankle locked down. I also believe that the collar is designed to keep the elements out so they have to be snug in that area. My feet are a tad flat and semi-wide, so take that into consideration. So those considering copping, TTS is okay with normal socks. Its an excellent fit and you can def winterize them. If you insist on wearing thin socks, half-size down is okay. IMO they look silly if they aren't laced up all the way. if you don't, your ankle will slide up and down. Hope this helps
unless they tweet it out earlier
