X-Talon 212 Standard sizing?

The X-Talon 212 comes in 2 fits – Precision last and Standard last. Maybe shoefitr is giving you the size for the Precision last?

My X-Talon 212 Standard fit are a full size larger than my Trailroc 245s, and 1/2 size larger than my 2015 Roclite 295s. The X-Talons are the narrowest of the three. "Standard" fit is anything but.

Thanks for the feedback – sounds like the 14s may be right… although for you the x-talons aren't as wide as your trailrocs? That's a bit concerning as the trailrocs work for me, but they could still be wider… any narrower may be a problem.

That's why I had to upsize the Roclite 295s and X-Talon 212s compared with the Trailroc 245s – to ensure that the width was comparable. I would still say that the shape of the X-Talon feels different than the Trailroc, but the latter shoe was originally created with the widest last inov-8 made, the Anatomic last. It has a more rounded toebox. I'll upload a picture in the morning.

As promised, here's a pic of a pair of UK Size 10 Trailroc 245s from late 2013 or early 2014 compared with a pair of UK Size 11 X-Talon 212 in Standard fit. The photo doesn't show that the heels are lined up with each other – the upper on the Trailroc curves forward more than on the X-Talon. But hopefully you can see that they appear to be a similar width and almost exactly the same length, with the X-Talon being perhaps just a fraction longer. Hope that helps.

Yeah that looks pretty congruent with what shoefitr is showing for 13 trailrocs vs 14 x-talons. Guess I'll give them a go when stock becomes available… Tough rand also looks pretty tough in the photo, which is one thing I'm aiming for.. if they are more durable and grippier than the trailrocs then I can forgive the 6mm drop…
