I usually wear size 11 and ordered 1/2 size up based on several reviews I read throughout various websites, just to make sure I ordered both a size 11 and a size 11.5 so that I could try both on. When I got the shoes I was somewhat puzzled because they both looked just about the same size wise, the 11.5 was just a tad larger but certainly not 1/2 size larger. I felt the same when I wore them to try them out, I hit the front of the shoes with my toes while standing when wearing the size 11, I did not hit the the front of the shoe in the 11.5 while just standing standing but I do hit it if I am walking briskly, I guess what I am trying to say is that it is not what I would have expected for an 11.5 shoe as it almost feels like I should have gone up to a size 12. If I could return the size 11.5 I would as these are pretty expensive and not having a perfect fit is quite disappointing. My advise is to order at least 1/2 size up and maybe even a full size up, one thing that might be contributing to the weird sizing is the fact that the shoes are pretty narrow towards the front, if you have wide or somewhat wide feet you will feel the tightness for sure.
I give it 4 stars because the shoe is of excellent quality, if the sizing issues were not present I would have given it an easy 5 stars...

Honest reviews on Salewa Men's Wildfire GTX Approach Shoe
I am really impressed with these, I have a decently wide foot which is why I usually buy Keens. After reading about these in backpacker magazine I wanted a pair, but I was concerned about the width. I ordered my regular size shoe and decided to give it a go, and I couldn't be happier that I did. It fits perfectly around my foot, and it feels extremely comfortable. Haven't had a chance to put them to the test yet, but I'm sure I will soon & when I do I'll update this
