User questions & answers

Question:	Would this be a good shoe to help keep my feet safe, stable, and dry for general hiking
Answer:	Hello, the width of the shoes is marked on the sole. It is in the arch area with a circle around it.
Question:	I don't want the wide version, are these wide
Answer:	D WidthA D-width is considered a medium for men and a wide for women. It measures between 3 and 5 inches across the bottom of the ball of the foot, depending on your shoe size. For instance, in men's footwear, a size 10D is 4 inches across, while a size 14D is 4.5 inches across.E WidthAn E width shoe is considered a wide for men and extra wide for women. Measuring at the bottom of the ball of the foot, an E width stretches between 3.2 and 5.2 inches, depending on foot size. For men, a size 10E is 4.2 inches across, while a size 14E is 4.7 inches across.EE WidthEE width shoes are considered extra wide for men and women. Not all manufacturers carry EE widths, and women's EE choices, historically, have been limited. However, options have improved over the past decade, at least in part because of the increasing sales of women's shoes to transgendered individuals. EE width shoes measure between 3.4 and 5.4 inches across the bottom of the ball of the foot, depending on shoe size.

He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness.

User questions & answers

Question:	It’s for man o women, unisex
Answer:	Absolutely- waterproof & good ankle support
Question:	Is it free returns if you do not have prime
Answer:	These say Speedcross 5 wide on the side. So are they wide?
Question:	Are these really leather? The description says 100% leather but the picture looks like mesh, rubber, and man made material
Answer:	I'm confused about this also? On the Salomon website it states 39 1/3 is a US 7.5, but on Amazon it is showing as a US8. I have ordered as per the website, but remain skeptical as to what is going to arrive. I've paid $26 for express international shipping so if it's not right I will certainly be raising the issue!
Question:	Are these trail NB running shoes made for women or kids? The description and listing contradict each other
Answer:	The Salomon Speedcross is for men and women. You just need to do a search for Women's Salomon Speedcross. I have ordered my Speedcross shoes from Amazon for years and love them!! I wear a size 9 in and they are pretty true to size for the most part. Hope that helps! Happy trails and stay healthy and safe!

User questions & answers

Question:	Do these sites have Wide toe box
Answer:	I find the toebox to be very roomy - but I have pretty narrow feet, so maybe am not the best judge...
Question:	R they good for Narrow womens feet
Answer:	First of all it's a sign that you are wearing too small of shoe. You can get a gel type of toe protector that slips on to the end of your toe for protection.
Question:	I see they have drain holes. i run my dogs in agility, i am running in dirt. does the dirt get in the holes? are they flexable for quick turns
Answer:	I agree with previous answers --buy anywhere from half size to full size up, depending on how thick the socks you'll be wearing are. I wear 8.5 in Saucony or Avia, and a 9 fits me in this shoe. I could have gotten away with a 9.5 since my toe is near the end, but not touching it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Walking or running shoe
Answer:	I am a prime member which I have free returns. So I have no idea you will have to call Customers Services.
Question:	What shoe is like the Omnie
Answer:	I have these shoes in the light gray/black/mint. Because I need a high arch, I took the insole out and inserted a higher arch insole. I love the way they feel and look, but after about 5 months of exercise classes, 5 days a week, the mesh on the inside of the foot wore where the 2 plastic strips are. If you look at the picture of the inside of the foot(opposite of the N), you'll see there is about 1/8th of an inch of mesh between the plastic around the laces and the plastic on the toe of the shoe. I hope this makes since. I would love to buy another pair, but 5 months is a short time for a hole to wear and it is very noticeable and ugly.
Question:	Does this have a removable footbed
Answer:	I ordered the trail NB running shoes for myself & I take a women's. I ordered my women's shoe siz e and they fit me just fine. I believe they are for women not kids. Hope this helps.
Question:	How do these fit compared to cohesion
Answer:	These shoes run a half size small. I have always worn 8 wide in all shoes, got these in 8.5 wide and they're perfect. Get the half size up!
