I recently bought my first Salomon XT6’s. I’m usually between 38 and 39. I tried both 38 2/3 (US 7 women) and 39 1/3 (US 7.5 W) in the store and I didn’t feel much difference; there was the same room for toes but my heel was lifting itself a bit in the 39 1/3 so the sales assistant advised me to get the 38 2/3, which I did. But now that I try them on again at home, I feel like they are a bit narrow/oppressive. So I’m unsure if I should’ve gone with the 39 1/3. I wanted to go try them in store again but according to the website they are now sold out in most sizes. Is it normal that it feels like that at the beginning? Will it become a bit less tight once I break them in? Maybe I just need to get used to the fit? Thank you
