Hi,

Planning some wet winter hiking with my girlfriend and we've decided to give the Rocky gore tex socks a whirl. Unfortunately I'll need to buy sight unseen as they don't exist in Australia.. Easy enough for me – I figure I'll go 14 and squeeze them into my size 13 trail runners..

However, I can't seem to work out the conversion to women's sizes from the mens/unisex Rocky sizes. She's an 8 – 8.5 US women's so I guess she wants about a 9 women's in the Rocky's – I'm guessing I go down two to 7 in men's, but could anyone please confirm?

Thanks

Don't only look at the length, but also the width and the instep. Because I also bougth some unseen and larger then normal and in the end they didn't fit me at all (putting them on was already very, very difficult and taking them off was even much more difficult).

Too bad, at least it's their fault. Sizing chart on the site doesn't work either. Lame.

I have slightly wider feet, and I always go up 2 sizes so that I can wear them with medium thickness wool socks. There's plenty of slack in the toes, but I like it that way. I'd say get these men sizes:

15 for you (maybe impossible?)
9 for her
