How much do these loosen? I bought 7s and they a little snug but almost too snug with silk liners. Should I go for 8s? Trouble is I'm in Canada and the duty and shipping will be over $50. Will it loosen a size up or should I drop another $50 and then find they are too loose.

The Gore-Tex outer won't stretch, so you'll need to make do with tight gloves (a recipe for cold hands) or bite the bullet and send them back for the larger size. If you're worried about them being too loose in the size 8s, instead of silk, use microfleece liners as they'll take up some of the excess room.
