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 precisely to get started.

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 and hiking models.
As for Salomon hiking shoes, 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.
