Size and Fit
Fit: StraightFit Extra - more space for the forefoot and big toe
The lace loops at the top of the foot do not have balls, which Hanwag uses in many of its shoes, and I think the lacing is not as well adjusted on Kalixfors' shoes. The lacing does not tighten as easily over several runs, but you can still get the tightness to your liking. The hooks above the ankle work excellently! The sole is as described in B/A, with a circular tread and very rolling. The grip in the arch is not at the level of a running shoe, but it is ok for a hiking shoe. The shoe is surprisingly light on the foot. There is plenty of room, especially at the toe, for double socks. The sizes are "just right", no need to take one size larger or smaller.

The materials are of a high quality, as well as the execution. Having intermediary sizes makes fiting a nreeze. The boots are confortable from the beginning and I'm very pleased with the purchase.

Sturdy long-handled hiking/hunting footwear. A longer and more challenging hike yet to be done. It would be good if the strap holders on the stem were deeper/longer.

This straight insole is the best I have found for my feet. Nice light shoes with a really grippy sole.

Hello,
After a few days of trying these shoes I can say that they are very comfortable, not very heavy and easy to put on. The ankle is well held, and for the moment the waterproofness is good.... I am very satisfied with my purchase hoping that it will be for a long time.

Good shoes. It's a tense feeling when the last is wide and the toes can move, but the heel doesn't rise.

Very pleasent and light despite the high shaft. As per the description they are wide with plenty of space for the foot and heavy socks, even with my broad feet. Good grip on wet slippery Swedish stony forest ground. Only fly in the ointment is that the ankle support is not so good as I expected, perhaps because of the wide design. They are not mountaineering boots but still. However I have not experimented with tightening the laces, so perhaps the solution lies somewhere. Having said all that, I am happy with the boots and have not regretted buying them.

A good, spacious seat. The stiffness of the sole is suitable for the Finnish forest terrain.
