other things to consider, are the type of fighter you are. are you extremely mobile...yes? then u want a shorter cut. Do yo tend to plant yourself and be a plodder? then a higher cut might be better. it's a trade off of ankle support vs shoe weight for mobility.

I wouldn't consider dbl socks tho. Your feet need to breath. This will just cause your body to overheat more easily.
I was looking at buying the new ones that DeMarcus Corley designed (ones Mosley wore for Pacquiao fight).

Here is a picture from the side:

Double socks idea is one that came from certain fighters who don't put any tape on their ankles, probably not going to do that, but wanted to make sure that in case I did, it would be factored in. Thanks for your reply.
