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.

Have held together after a year of hard use on construction sites, hiking. Tread is still at 90% or better. Toe glue is 100%. Have been pleasantly suprised at the shoes durability.
Grippy shoe that climbs well, but pretty narrow and not great for long approaches (at least for my feet). The 3F rubber moulding on the exterior also began to separate from the leather after less than 50 (admittedly rough) miles.
These are my absolute favorite shoes. I hope salewa never stops making them but know some day they will. This purchase was the fifth time I bought this shoe. They’re rugged, comfortable, with a few inches of waterproof material, but still breathable.
with the right wool socks, the most form-fitting, comfortable hiking shoe I've ever owned
