Salomon and Nike are two very popular brands of running shoes.
Actually, to say that they only produce running shoes is a bit of an understatement. Both of them produce a lot of other products with Salomon having a fair share of other outdoor equipment.
We will cover that in a future post when we compare the brands as a whole. However, since this post is related to the sizing of Salomon vs Nike, we will focus on that. More specifically on the running footwear that they produce.
There are a lot of similarities between these two brands related to running shoe sizing, but there are a whole lot of differences as well.
Also, before proceeding further, I would like to tell you that, I’ll not be comparing the heel-to-toe drop of Salomon and Nike with each other as I’ve already covered that in this article.
Let’s proceed…

Do Nike Run Bigger Or Smaller Than Salomon?
No Nike doesn’t run bigger or smaller than Salomon. The lengths in cm or inches that are present in Salomon are also present in Nike barring a few which lengths are not available in either of the brands.
However, if you try to equate the lengths based on the different numbers other that are used for shoe size representation, then you will have a hard time.
Of all the size comparisons that I’ve done, I’ve not seen so much of number variations between the two brands.
Only a handful of the numbers match with each other for both the brands and the rest are all different.
Also, you cannot apply generalized rules for those numbers as well…They vary so much that I cannot even tell that, from this number to this number Salomon is leading or Nike is leading…or something similar…
So, as always, I’ll tell you to check the shoe length in a more universal unit like cm or inches that way you will be able to avoid this numbering confusion.
