I have just finished my pair and how lovely they are!
I did change the pattern a little, and am just copying my details over from Ravelry in case you have any non ravellers who land upon this page. It might be useful, it might not. *shrug*
For the cable row, I did the following:
Cable: p1, ktbl, p1, slip next 5 stitches to cable needle, hold to back, p1 k1tbl twice. knit stitches from cable needle as follows; p1, ktbl twice then knit from the normal needle as follows; p1, ktbl, p1
Throughout the pattern, I replaced all k44’s with k45’s.
Also, on the heel flap, instead of the following row:-
k7 pattern reverse, k1
I knitted k7, pattern reverse, k7
Actually, now I come to think of it, because I originally did k45 instead of k44, it was probably k8, pattern reverse and k6, but I forget.
I also added 2 more pattern repeats so the legs are a little longer (and slightly slouchier because of my fat legs).
I finished them off with anatomically correct toes from persnicketyknitter
