Salomon Sizing Chart

Salomon footwear sizes are conversions of foot length. To find your size: stand on a sheet of paper against a wall (wearing the socks you would normally wear with this type of shoe), mark just in front of your big toe, repeat for both feet, take the longer distance, and measure from the wall to the mark.

Questions, answered

Before you buy.

Pulled from chats, emails and store visits. The things people actually ask us before they buy. Don't see yours?

Ask a question
How should the mid-cut fit growing feet?

They fit true to size with a snug sensiFIT hold around the ankle. Leave about a thumb's width at the toe so there's room to grow.

Are they waterproof?

Yes. The Adv.DRY membrane and gusseted tongue keep feet dry through puddles, wet grass and mud, while staying breathable.

Are they durable for active kids?

Yes. A durable contaGRIP outsole plus a protective mudguard and toecap stand up to knocks on trails and playgrounds.

Can I put them in the washing machine?

We don't recommend it, as the machine can damage the Adv.DRY membrane. Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat.
