A great shoe, fits to size, and is very comfortable.shoes are soooo comfortable and long lastingSalomon of the UK is a top outdoor sport shoe co. The fit is close to conform perfectly to you foot. Choose your usual American size.Very comfy and traction is perfectPreviously bought Salomon Speedcross 4 GTX in a size 8.5, as all reviews said to go a half size up. Normally an 8, but the Speedcross sizing was so small, that every time I wore them the skin was rubbed off the ends of my big toes.So, thinking logically, I bought these Alphacross trainers in a size 9.......they arrived and to my utter confusion, they are so oversized, they are like flippers on my feet!, and even make a flapping sound when I walk in them! :DWhat do we have to do to get Salomon shoes the right size and fit Salomon?!!!!!!!The prices you're charging for them, you'd think you'd manage to source a company that can at least make them to standardized sizes!!!!I had to return these because they were to small, it kinda baffles me cos I had a veryyyyyy similar pair to these size 9 and they were perfect! ?They came from Germany, I wonder if they were made in a different country to the other pair, I’ve even had some of the same type that came from Spain, same size and they fit perfectly ......some of the sizes are slightly out.I got free returns so obviously that helps even though ya get wet walking to the post office to return them ???I may order another pair of the same type soon see where they come from and if they fit because Trust me these are the Best walking/Running shoes money can buy!!!!!!!!!Everything except for sizing in some countries they come from .....LOL .....is Perfit, would I recommend them .....You bet your sweet tush I would!The other pair I had were speed lace up system, I like those.These Alfa cross are lightweight, waterproof, cool looking.They are Fantastic for walking in, I walk for fitness around town and some out of town and they are perfect, not sure what they would be like for a Hiker walking through fields Etc, they are good strong material so they would probably take a good beating!I would Highly Recommend them!!Great for the first month then it all went downhill. I purchased these in March 2021 and the soles have already worn away on both shoes. I don't cover a great deal of distance and the most gruelling thing they do is take the dog for a walk through some fields. The shoes were waterproof the first 2 or 3 times I used them but now my feet are wet through after a walk through the grass. It's a real shame as if these shoes had any longevity and the performance stayed like it did the first month they would've been excellent.These slightly narrow size 12's were used for flat(ish) trail walking at speed.After nearly 500 miles over the c12months, I noticed the damage shown in the pictures.I cleaned them approximately 4 times during this time.If that's reasonable for the price paid and distance walked, well? that's for you to decide.I hope you find this review helpful.I purchased these in Summer 2021 to use for some light running / walking in the local woodlands. Unfortunately after a few weeks of use I noticed a lot of moisture penetrating the shoe - I thought this may have been an issue with the Gore-Tex, but it was actually the sole on both shoes separating from the shoe. I stopped wearing completely and only recently used them for some pavement walks - unfortunately the whole sole is now detached from the shoe. There is actually no wear and tear on the sole itself I have used them so little!
