Liked the gortex, style and support, which is why I ordered these shoes. The sizing is off...I always wear size 7 in athletic shoes from major brands. They were so very large, I tried and then returned the 6.5, which hit the sole of my feet in the wrong places, so the arch support was too far back, etc. It's a good sturdy shoe---but Salomon--please revise your sizing standards. Impossible to buy online!!
