5 star shoe. maybe? - Salewa Firetail EVO Hiking Shoe - Mens

I have been a long time Saloman fan but disappointed in last pair of gtx trail runners. So I expanded my search range and decided to give the Salewa a try. Way different features in shoe but very well built. Came with 2 different insoles which is nice. Love the Vibram soles as they are the gold standard. Still very early in process to give final star rating. I wear a size 43 aka 9.5-10 US with prominent bunions so I don't mind a little wider (read larger size) shoe. I ordered a 10 and was sent a UK10 not a US 10. The shoe feels ok but I have tweaked the insole and lacing and it seems fine. Thus the drop in stars is a knock on the company - not the shoe.
