Garmont fits according to European standards in length. The most reliable measurement is the length of the foot in centimeters (Mondopoint), available in the official chart of this guide. The fit (internal volume) varies by range: from Alpine Tech (very fitted) to Comfort (the most voluminous). Identify the fit of the model before choosing your size.

In length, Garmont conforms to EU standards. However, some models with Alpine Tech or Alpine fit may feel tight in volume for wide or high feet. In this case, Garmont officially recommends taking a half size up. For Active and Comfort models, the volume is more generous and the feel is standard.

No, Garmont shoes do not run large. The Comfort fit models offer more internal volume, but the length remains in accordance with EU standards. It is not necessary to go down a size except for very narrow feet with very voluminous models.

Yes, for Performance, Active, and Comfort fit models, your usual size is a good starting point. Measure your foot in cm to confirm. For Alpine Tech and Alpine models, Garmont recommends considering a half size up for optimal daily comfort.

Garmont defines 5 levels of fit, from the most technical to the most comfortable: Alpine Tech, Alpine, Performance, Active, Comfort. The fit is indicated on the technical sheet of each model. For mountaineering and technical approach, opt for Alpine or Performance. For trekking and comfortable hiking, opt for Active or Comfort.

Measure your foot in cm, compare with the official chart. For day outings with standard socks, your usual size is suitable. For multi-day trekking with thick socks, consider a half size up. Space at the forefoot is important to protect the toes when descending.

The Dragontail models have a Performance fit and extended lacing to the toes allowing for precise volume adjustment. Take your usual size. For a wide foot, check the available volume on the product sheet. The heel is held by Heel Lock technology on the MNT and MNT GTX models.

Garmont mountaineering models (Pinnacle EVO GTX, etc.) are built on an Alpine or Alpine Tech fit, more fitted for precision with crampons. Garmont officially recommends taking a half size up if you want a more comfortable daily use. Ensure that the toes have enough space to avoid toenails. Check semi-automatic crampon compatibility on the product sheet.

Garmont officially bases its range on UK sizes, which have a 5 mm step between each half size. The conversion to EU sometimes produces values with half points. This is a brand-specific characteristic, confirmed in its official FAQ. Use the foot length in cm column to avoid any correspondence confusion.

Yes, if you wear thick trekking or mountaineering socks, an additional half size is often necessary. Always try your Garmont shoes with the intended socks for use. This is particularly important for mountaineering models and winter hiking shoes.

Take the larger size. This is Garmont's official recommendation. A shoe that is slightly longer is always preferable to a shoe that is too short, especially for hiking and trekking. For mountaineering, the fitted fit should allow for precision while leaving space for the toes.

Measure your foot in cm, identify the fit of the model (indicated in the product sheet), compare with the official chart. If in doubt, take the larger size. Do not try to compensate for a poor fit solely by changing size: if your foot is wide, opt for a model with Active or Comfort fit rather than a larger size on a Performance fit.
