Will you be using a felt liner, sole inserts, and doubling up on wool socks ? All reasons you may need to size up.

Some companies, Viking and Viberg (unless they are custom), do not offer half sizes. I am a size 11.5 in running shoes, but and i size up to 12 for caulks boots.

In the past year, I received 5 cent with a company in the interior (Williams Lake area).

With a season of about 80 days (not uncommon for Apex), at minimum wage of $120 per day, this would translate to about $4800 per planter that Apex would get in student subsidies.
