Official measuring guide for Salomon footwear
Tools:
- Use a shoe box or a wall with a 90° angle.
- Find a sheet of paper or a sheet of cardboard, a ruler and a pen.
What should you do next?
- Make sure that you are wearing the same socks that you would normally wear with this type of boot.
- Wearing these socks, stand on the sheet of paper and place the outside of your foot against the wall or place your foot in the shoe box with your heel wedged firmly against the back.
- Then use your pen and ruler to draw a line just in front of your big toe.
- Measure the distance between the wall or the side of the shoe box and the line that you have just drawn.
- Find this measurement in millimetres in the chart. If you fall between sizes, pick the larger one. A couple of mm extra length of a shoe doesn't hurt, but even a slightly too short shoe is bad.

I would not really recommend to a friend because I don't want them looking as cool as me.

Update: Kenkien pohja halkesi päkiästä 400 kilometrin kohdalla, alle puoli vuotta ostamisen jälkeen. Varusteleka toimitti uudet kengät takuuseen, joilla marssin Nijmegenin vuonna 2019. Kiitos siitä! Mutta nyt vuosi myöhemmin, saa arvata mistä kohtaa kengät halkesivat. Tismalleen samasta kohtaa. Muuten nämä ovat hyvät kengät, mutta pohjien materiaali on luokaton. En suosittele.

Lesti on kapea ja sen vuoksi täytyy kengistä ottaa reilumpi koko: omiin räpylöihin (Jalaksen koko 44) otin koon 11 (46). Jään pahimmoilleen juuri koon 10,5 ja 11 väliin, mutta kokemuksesta (edelliset kenkäni) tiedän, että 10,5 on juuri liian ahdas.
Kengät ovat tukevat ja niillä on hyvä kulkea niin asfaltilla kuin maastossa. Pohjassa hieman pitävämmän tuntuinen kuvio kuin aikaisemmassa mallissa.
Hyvät popot!
