I know fell shoes are meant to be tight and snug but I find that they will accomodate extra socks or even swollen ankles better than my road shoes which tend to be less forgiving. reckon it it down to the extra support that they have.
Can I ask if the support does any good? I am always dubious about elastic supports unless you have some kind of swelling but I am thinking about the best way to protect my ankle over the coming months as I get it back up to full strength.
