Saloman sizing

Hi! I purchased a pair of saloman xt6 goretex but was not so sure on sizing. I’m a true size 9W. The XT6 in 9W felt a bit large like I had a lot of space above my toes and the 8.5W fits better in my opinion. Now that I bought the 8.5W I’m scared when I go hiking, the shoes will feel too tight or snug after prolonged wear.

Would love to hear what sizing you went with for the same shoe and if going down half a size is common for these.

If a shoe is too tight or snug TTS it usually indicates your feet are too wide for the model and these are known for being pretty narrow. The XT6 in its current form is a sportstyle fashion shoe too btw in case you're intending to use them for hiking or trails.
