Size chart
Place a paper close to the wall and with bare feet place the foot on the paper, with your heel to the wall. Since it is important to stand up straight, preferably have someone help you draw a line in front of the longest toe. Remember to measure both feet as they might not be identical. With a ruler, confirm the measurement in centimeters. For hiking and trekking add approx. 1 cm.
The approximate size of the packed product or the sales package is 400 x 300 x 200 mm.
A few days of hiking and now a week of trekking in the three kingdoms behind. These shoes work very well, especially in the beloved and demanding terrain. There is enough stiffness and compared to previous shoes (Meindl), these can be tightened firmly on the foot much better. I recommend these shoes especially if the shoe size is large but the foot is otherwise not wide at the instep or the foot is not busty (usually then the shoe is too big other than in terms of length). I haven't really been able to test these in wet conditions yet, but I think they're really good because they're completely synthetic material (no leather). It was also easy to wash clean. The only downside to these shoes is the downright ridiculous insoles, which are hard to even put on because they are such non-existent clichés. I'll have to try Meindli's insoles for them next.

I have now tested my Alfa hiking shoes on a longer hike. The shoe does what the advertising promises, except for the insole, which is downright substandard (thin and spongy). Alfa has upgraded the insole from the 2024 model but the model Varuste delivered to me was not the latest model.
