Lin -

I'll provide a different link that has a paragraph on sizing. In my
case, I got the large/extra large. I wear size 11 shoes, but because I
wear heavy socks in the winter, I have size 12 mocs. The large/ extra
large fits my mocs okay.

BTW, the bottom of the mocs shown on this link is exactly what my pair
look like on the mocs. I also chose to put them on the mocs, as you
wouldn't need them on boots. If the snow is deep enough that you need
boots, then you don't need spikes.
