Another sock brand worth looking at is Bridgedale ime. Also, I very much agree with you on the ankles thing - I have a habit of turning on mine and even if you do, the boot will support it til you get somewhere to rest.

Bootswise, I currently have Meindl (mens ones as I have wide feet), with gortex lining. Here they often label boots A, A/B, B, B/C etc., A being lightest and D being worn with crampons on ice kind of thing. A/B is what I've normally gone for coz I'm a weekend hobbier rather than anything serious.
