Why Nike US 10 becomes Salomon US 10.5 here

This is one of the few brand bridges on the site that is not 1:1. Nike US 10 is listed at 27.1 cm; the nearest Salomon row at that length is US 10.5 (EU 44.5). Nike US 9.5 (26.7 cm) still maps toward Salomon 10.5 on the same centimeter hunt. The wear-box is repeating the table: labels diverge even when the foot is the same length.

That gap is why “I wear Dunk 10 so I ordered XT-6 in 10” returns happen. Nike lifestyle (Air Force 1, Dunk, Pegasus, Vomero) uses a street last; Salomon XT-6 and Speedcross 6 use a performance trail last with a tight SensiFit wrap. Even after you take the chart’s extra half size, XT-6 can still feel short/narrow versus a roomy AF1. The extra half is for labeled foot length, not for turning a trail shoe into a lifestyle shoe.

Worked example: Nike 8.0 = 25.4 cm; Nike 10.0 = 27.1 cm; Nike 12.0 = 28.8 cm. At 27.1 cm Salomon’s printed US is 10.5, not 10. If you already go half up in XT-6 for wide feet or thick socks, that is on top of this chart offset — do not stack blindly. Start at the Salomon number the table gives, then read the XT-6 / Speedcross guides for wrap and toe-room on descents.

FAQ

How do I convert Nike shoe size to Salomon?
Match by foot length in centimeters on each brand’s chart. Example: Nike US 10 ≈ Salomon US 10.5 (about 27.1 cm). Then adjust for the specific model’s fit (runs big/small/narrow).
Is a Nike US 10 the same as a Salomon US 10?
Not always. Labels can map to slightly different foot lengths. Use the cm column, then check model guides on both brands.
Which direction should I read first?
Start from the brand you already wear, then open the model fit pages linked below — lasts differ even when charts match.

Clothes sizing uses a separate compare path.
