Based on how these items do for you your first year, and adding all the input you get from partners you work with your first season, you'll know what's best and most suitable to order for your second year. You're unlikely to solicit sufficient opinions to order what you personally would consider "just right" on this forum, since everyone has his/her own personal preferences when it comes to garb and gear.

1) Only order the zigs if you have normal width feet.
2) Ask whoever you will be working for if there's a clinic and if vendors will be there. This will let you see / try on the gear for the first time so you can get the right size and choose the gear that's right for you.
