I'm looking at getting a pair of these boots to replace my Solomon Quests, but with so many people saying to go up a half size, then others saying not to. Can anyone give me an answer as to how these fit compared to a Solomon Quest in 10.5. Thanks in advance

DEfinitely do not go up half a size - they fit very much true to size. I find the volume of the fit very similar to the Salomon Quests - both have snug heels and midfoots - but there is a lot more volume in the toe box of the Contacts. These are a much burlier and stiffer boot as well.

i would venture to say that people are saying go up a half size from your normal shoe (not other boots) due to wearing heavier socks. just order them from backcountry.com. if they dont fit, return them and get another size.
