As others have noted, the fit is too tight for the advertised size, it seems a bit odd because I have another pairof these that I've had for a while that I use just to walk on the street and they fit fine, the only &#34;diifference&#34; is the color, so why would these be tighter?? My main complaint though is traction on wet slippery surfaces (rocks eg that have moss on them)-buyer beware, these shoes are downright treacherous, they will slip as if the surface was made of ice, would definitely not recommend if you're likely to encounter these conditions, I have fallen a couple of times while running and had some hairy slips on wet rocks, not for the faint of heart that's for sure. Salomon seriously needs to correct this for trail runners, not sure what happened but had a pair a few years ago that didn't have this problem.
