A late entry here, I can put my wool-socked, stocking-foot-wadered, 13 EEEE foot into my Chotas and feel very comfortable. They do weigh a bit, though. That might have something to do with the 13 EEEE part of the equation. A note about socks, I got some alpaca wool socks a couple of years ago for $14 a pair. They were worth it. Good socks are worth good money if they keep your feet warm, dry, and otherwise comfortable.
