I would say these shoes run a half size big. I ordered the size I usually wear, and I probably could have ordered a smaller size because the front area of the shoe is quite wide. There is plenty of room for your toes that is for sure. I had trouble figuring out how to do the laces. You have to roll them up under the pocket on top of the tongue part of the shoe and then it sticks up a little bit after. I wasn\'t sure if I liked that at first, but after wearing them it grew on me.

These are definitely for me. I have flat feet, no arches and severe arthritis in my toes. I give 10 stars to Zappos for putting up with all my purchases/returns in the last 30 days. With winter setting in, my feet are very sensitive and I really wanted something that would feel like wearing an old pair of gloves. These definitely fit the bill and I have ordered three different colors. Wouldn't think of shopping for shoes anywhere else and have sent several friends to Zappos and they could not believe the great service they got. I took the advice of many of the previous reviews and ordered a 1/2 size smaller. They work just great. Support within the foot is just wonderful.

Excellent fit for me. Extremely stable footing, with an extra wide heel, a roomy toe box, and a robust tread. Comfortable out of the box. I need these shoes for hiking archeological sites in Israel, and so far, wearing them around town, I'm impressed. The quick lace system has more cons than pros, in my opinion. The shoes lace quickly, with easy adjustment to just the right tension, but the instructions are not clear on how to store the lacing mechanism, which is composed of two plastic parts. I assume they fit into the tongue pocket, along with the slack "thread", but inserting them into the pocket after the shoes have been laced up has eluded me, so far. Once the shoes are laced up, the pocket becomes hard to open, and I find it impossible to stuff the plastic lacing mechanism and extra lacing material into the available space quickly and easily. Consequently, the laces work themselves out of the pocket and dangle off the shoe in short order. Frankly, I can't see how this is an improvement over regular shoelaces that you simply tie in a double knot. Fit is the most important criterion for me, so I'm keeping the shoes.

These shoes are great multi purpose hiking/walking/running shoes. They fit my wide toed, narrow heeled, size 7 foot perfectly. Great support for my high (but failing) arches, my heels don't slip, I can wiggle my toes, and the laces stay put. Good shoes + good socks = miles of comfortable feet!

Fantastic shoe. Ready to hit the pavement, right out of the box. No break in period needed. This is my third pair of Salomon. I am in love with the fit and the quick lace system. These shoes wash up beautifully and dry quickly. By the way, the green color is more soft and muted than the picture shows and it looks great with the gray accent.

Great hiking shoe! Wore them for the first time hiking for 5 hours in Maine and it was pure comfort the entire trip! Very light and durable. I would recommend ordering down a half size, as I am normally an 8.5 and ordered an 8.

I've been pretty happy with my Vasque Blurs for hiking desert mountain trails, but was tempted by the Salomon reviews to give them a try. Like them at least as much and possibly more than the Vasque... only time will tell. The only problem is that I wrongly followed some of the advice here that they run bigger than most trail runners, so ordered an 8.5 instead of a 9. Bad move...but thanks to Zappos return policy, only a minor hassle. I wear an 8.5 in "normal" shoes, typically a 9 in my trail runners, and that's just exactly what I needed in the Salomon. The lacing system was a bit of a concern as I've developed a unique lacing job because of my Morton's neuroma and high arch. But no problem! Love the lacing system. Hoping it holds up. I have a lot of arthritis and one year post knee surgery. While I need a lot of cushioning in a shoe, I don't like too much support as I like to be able to "feel" the trail - I like to feel low and close to the ground. These seem to do the job. Plenty of room in the toe box yet the shoe holds my heel snug and in place. Wore them around the house a bit before my first hike, but plenty comfy on that first hike.

I've had several pairs of Salomon shoes in the past, and despite buying the same size, these really do feel a half-size larger than my older pairs. The arch support is farther forward, everything is too big. But, I've loved my former pairs so much I may just go get the smaller size!

The Only Athletics I'll buy!
Solomon are the best! I've owned many different styles and love them all. I tend to get the men's because this brand always runs narrow (and I have normal to narrow feet) so mens offer that extra width for comfort. But wanted a light color for summer and went for these, they were a bit snug at first but quickly stretched out perfectly. I can't say enough about Solomon for any athletic style shoe, they are without a doubt, "THE BEST", and the pull tie is awesome! They also last forever. I hike with dogs every day and tend to need about 1 pair a year, they last forever, dry quick and are so comfy that you forget you are wearing shoes at all. There is always room for my orthodics too.

I love this shoe. Bought it as an alternative to my Salomon hiking boots. Great arch support and tread. The laces I especially like because they are quick and easy. Good for summer, breathability is excellent.

Love them, but they do run a bit large -
I love the other Salomon shoes/boots I own and when the need arose for a new pair of non-waterproof trail-runners for a hot summer trip, I was happy to order these. I love the look of the Aluminum/Autobahn/Aqua, which is very neutral (just a nice hint of aqua), and they felt really great - super comfortable - except for the length. I usually wear an 8 in most running shoes (other Salomons included), but these in an 8 were too long for me. I just ordered another pair in 7 1/2 and hope those will fit better!

These hiking shoes are great! It is my second pair and they fit perfect. The best is that I don’t have the laces to get in the way and if they get wet, which they did, crossing brooks, they dry very quickly. I highly recommend them.

Salomon is back on the right track -
These Salomon's are the perfect shoe for me. Extremely comfortable with a wide toe and narrow heel bed. I needed no break-in time. The sole is flared at heel which is great for stability - much better than in previous versions. Still light on forefoot padding, but that doesn't bother me. These are my new favorites!

This was my second pair of trail shoes and my first Salomons. The shoes are very supportive and have great grip on wet rocks. I just finished a 50k trail run through creeks etc. and not one blister.

Comfort right out of the box -
This is my 3rd pair of Salomon's. I have narrow feet and they fit perfectly right out of the box. I love the lacing system. I have a different type for work as an RN and they are so comfortable, just as this type is. I like the updated look, not a regular tongue to the shoe. And so glad they come in a dark color. I'm able to wear them for hours and have not had any problems. Will stick with this company for my activity shoes.

Fabulous and come in size 10.5!
What sets these apart: great overall support, amazing arch support, waterproof, great for a range of activities so perfect for travel, and they're actually cute (for a trail running shoe, that is). I wear size 11 2A in New Balance, but the 10.5 in these. The lacing system accommodates a range of widths -- 10.5 is a really unusual size so I'm used to having to go up or down. I am going to buy another pair!

Best ever!!!
I have a lot of problems with my feet - high arch and ankle pain which then affects my back. It took a little while to break-in but the support is amazing. I can work a long time on my feet without even taking a break. My feet are wide so there’s more than enough room in the toe area.

Great hiking shoe -
I received these minutes before I was leaving for a hike, and the timing couldn't have been better. Very comfortable right out of the box. They are very roomy in the toe box, no need to order up a 1/2 size, they fit fine with thick socks. Provide good support on rocky trails. Highly recommended.

Nice hiking shoe -
I ordered the size 10 for my normally wide-width size 10 feet with bunions and flat-footedness. I can say that I've worn the shoes a few times to go hiking already, and they feel great. Great traction, arch-support, and comfort. The fit is snug at the middle of my foot, which gives great hold and stability, but it is roomy in the toe, which is perfect for my bunion. I even went wading in a stream with them, and no blisters ensued. I will definitely buy this brand in the future.

 |  | Hi there Zappos, I just got my tracking number for a jacket I ordered yesterday, went to the UPS website and saw that it was out for delivery. After placing dozens of orders through Zappos, processing a few returns, and contacting customer service by phone a few times, one would think that my overwhelming love of you guys would wear off. But, it hasn't; it only gets more intense with every positive experience (which has been each and every Zappos experience I've had). Anyway, I think you should have a testimonial submission function on your site – I would probably fill one out after every order. Thanks so much for having such solid, customer-forward practices, for making things so easy, and for having the best customer service on or off the internet. |  | ~ Mimi G., October 19 2009
