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.
Getting a shoe for adventurous activities is more demanding than a pair of casual shoes. Thus, we highly recommend measuring your foot length and hiking models.

Salomon shoe sizes compared to other hiking/trail shoe brands
Salomon shares a common approach to sizing its footwear which makes it consistent with other popular outdoor brands, including KEEN, Merrell, and Oboz.

The fit of Salomon shoes
Most trail running shoes from Salomon are designed to have a snug, form-fitting and sometimes even constricting fit. So, people with wider foot dimensions should be cautious.
Wide options are not extensive but still present in some of the brand’s running XA Pro 3D v8.
As for How we test, they are made a bit more accommodating. However, we still recommend checking our summary of the users’ feedback on the respective product pages, like that of the XA Pro 3D v8.
Salomon Quicklace
Salomon often uses a proprietary Quicklace closure that works like bungee laces. It can be tightened and loosened on-the-go and much faster than conventional laces.
