For Best Fit: You will measure the circumference of your foot around the widest part, and allow for 0.75-1.5 in (2-3.75 cm) of negative ease in circumference and 0.5 in (1 cm) negative ease in length.
There is all-over cabling on the leg and then the foot only has cabling on the front half; this means the leg will fit more snugly. If you'd prefer a looser leg, you can opt to only cable the front half of that as well, so that there are no cables on the back side of your sock.
