Try this on. Do not order it blind if your foot is a true 4E. Salomon wides solve a lot of standard-width complaints and still feel narrow next to a KEEN or Altra. The quick lace is either a joy or an annoyance. You will know in five minutes.

Who should buy it. Hikers who liked Salomon and were sized out of the standard.

Best for. Wide-forefoot hikers who like a quick lace

Standout limitation. Salomon wide is still narrower than KEEN or Altra
