Outpulse Hiking Shoe (Men)

I have a wide foot and Salomon has always offered a shoe that fits me. These shoes are narrow and uncomfortable even though I bought the same size as last time. The prehistoric return policy means that once I have determined that these shoes won't work for me they are unreturnable. I will go back to my previous brand.

Product is of the same quality that other Salomon ones are, however, I've always worn US size 11 (EU 45) on other Salomon shoes and boots, so that's what I ordered here. Yet when I tried them on, they definitely seemed between a size and half a size to big, but I was leaving on a trip the next day and had already thrown my old pair out, so I kept them. Over the trip I wore them every day, great support, grip, and comfy, but confirmed they were too big. No idea if this was a quality control issue or this design. Luckily, my younger brother is about half a size larger than me so the shoes won't go to waste :). Ordered a second pair, hopefully this pair will fit.

I've been wearing these for a about a month for just about everything... walking all over the city, to the office, to the gym, riding bikes with the kids, walking the dog, easy trail hiking... They are great for my feet which are narrow, low volume, with big long toes. Through the heel and arch the shoes are narrow, perfectly snug for my foot. And then get wider in the toe box for my long toes to spread out. The shoe is stiff and stable, but not so much that they feel constraining for casual wear. They have a firm, responsive and supportive feel, as opposed to an ultra-cushioned feel. The sole is grippy, with deep lugs that feel confident on dirt or asphalt or a bike pedal. The minor quirks are: - The insole moves around a little bit inside the shoe. Doesn't really cause an issue, and not noticeable when wearing. hoping it doesn't become an issue. this same thing is actually happening on a different pair of salomon shoes i have right now also. - The is no loop on the tongue for the laces to go through and keep the tongue in place. It slides off to the side a little bit if the shoe is not tied tightly. Weird issue to have considering how carefully salomon constructs the tongue and laces on their quicklace shoes. Overall I'm very happy with these.
