Sizing Notes
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.

They run small. Order at least a half size bigger
2 months ago
This shoe just arrived in the mail. I haven’t had a chance to wear them on a hike, but I can tell you they run smell. I ordered a US size 12 and I need all bigger size. I ordered another pair a half size bigger, but also thinking I could probably go with a 13 to accommodate swelling. I have a narrow foot with a high arch and the toe box feels tight. So if you have a wide foot you might need to go a full size up. They look pretty darn cool.
