Good to know

Salewa recommends ordering your usual size. The shoes are designed for a standard fit with a women's-specific last. The Pomoca Speed MTN outsole is not resolable, but it offers excellent durability for its weight. For best performance, pair with approach-specific socks and allow a short break-in period for the suede leather.
