Hopefully this helps someone for fit… couldn’t find any reviews or info for sizing… I like the shoes, very little use, but I dig them. Nice and lightweight, but definitely a chunky hiking shoe. I was sort of expecting more of a running shoe with a more aggressive sole, and these are not that; not bad or disappointing, just not that. I’m consistently a size 9 in Vans unless sizing runs small or narrow… I went with 9.5 and I’m good with that. With slightly thicker socks the shoes def felt a bit snug on the sides, so I’m good with 9.5… 9 may have worked or been a tad on the small side. The shoes don’t have a full gusset but I got them on just fine, normally slip-ons are a pain for me. If your foot runs wide I’d def size up or if your normally between half sizes you may want to size up a bit. YMMV
These are extremely comfortable. I usually go between a 10 and 10.5 I ordered 10.5 they fit well.
Really happy with the XC! I had the standard MTE Crosspath previously and they were good but I much prefer these with the pull tabs and speedlace setup. Will definitely buy again
I love them but wish I'd ordered a half a size larger. Measured using the sizing chart several times.
Just finished the Routeburn Track NZ. Dry feet, no blisters, no slips, epic
