How much attention should be spent on how well foot wear fits, I remember my Limmers took a little while, with soarness and then fit great. I picked up a couple pair of 48 cm. Asolo boots, had both of them stretched out a little with a cobbler's shoe stretcher, and one set with some rubbing alcohol which supposedly helps stretch. I figured Merino socks would help, and they do on tight fits. Any techniques hikers are trying? I think Asolo 48 equates to 13 1/2, which is close to my feet, though I have been wearing 14 Limmers.
