True to past experiences with European sized footwear, the Salomon fit small ... way small. In order to get the appropriate fit, both width-wise and length-wise, I found the need to increase the size to 11.5, a full size up, before the boot became truly comfortable!

Are Salomon true to size?

Salomon shoes run true-to-size compared to most outdoor brands. A well-established brand of trail running and hiking footwear, Salomon was born in the heart of French Alps over 70 years ago. Salomon designers know that as the trail gets steep and technical, having a proper-fitting footwear is no joke.

Do Salomon shoes stretch out?

The toe box will definitely stretch out and loosen up. This is my 3rd pair of these shoes and i love them. Snug at first but they break in quickly.
