Warm, but absolutely unbeatable ankle support in a low-top

I have a bad right ankle; which is to say that I have permanent ligament damage. I have hunted for many months to find a sole wide enough to make certain that my ankle does not roll outwards (supinate)
These things fit the bill. Remarkable really, but the wings at the sole are about a third again wider than the base of your heel. This pyramid type of transition effectively rights rolling ankles for you. Very pleased.
Caution: the WP versions do not break in as well as the non-WP, at least not in the upper. Unless you plan to have wet feet from running through frost or dew or snow, I would get the non-WP version, or wait for the S-Lab version (about 100 some grams lighter than the non WP, 200 grams lighter than WP)
