Yep! You need at least 2000 gram at a minimum and have enough room to wiggles your toes too. Many people get boots that are way too tight by the time they get heavy socks on. I use 2000 gram boots and then when on stand slip them into the heavy insulated boot liners to stay very comfortable for a number of hours.
