Salewa footwear fits true to size and runs from medium to slightly narrow in width. For Mountaineering boots, Salewa recommends sizing up one half size to ensure comfort on long descents.
Salewa’s Alpine Fit incorporates a unique climbing lacing system that offers a large range of adjustability. To ensure a proper fit, Salewa recommends opening all laces through the forefoot as wide as possible before adjusting to your comfort, starting at the toes.

This is good fit. I'm a 7.5 and they are true to size. My feet are on the narrower side of normal. I bought a couple pairs of their ankle socks to wear with these shoes and they are comfortable. I'm still taking the time to break them in with shorter walks in the foothills. No blisters, slipping heels or hot spots. I bought the tan canvas and I like the contrast. The orange laces are very bright. At least I'll never lose sight of my feet.
First 4.5 mile walk and got a heal blister. I guess I didn't try them with Salewa socks per their guarantee. Seems like they are OK but I expected a nicer glove-like fit. I'll work on a new inside and try different socks and make it work.
The only downside is it runs a little small, I would order at least a half size up. The sole is extra sticky, sounds like octopus suction cups as you walk across a wood floor, and is very light shoe. I've had shoes with similarly sticky soles and, let me tell you, what a dream. So nice. great for slippery rocks or slightly wet floors, You can walk confidently through any commercial dish room (summer camps!) or seaside scramble with ease and confidence. The colors are true to the photograph Comfy shoe on uneven and even terrain. cushy with out being squishy.
Went hiking in Montana, I did not have the chance to break these in and they were still phenomenal. I would buy these again in a heart beat.
