Salomon

Elixir Mid Gore-Tex Hiking Boot - Women's

Amazing!!

I love these shoes so much, I needed hiking shoes and decided on these. As someone with bunions, it is a gamble ordering shoes online. These did not disappoint!! They fit perfectly, didnt even need to break them in. Been hiking plenty of times with these and they are great - the stability, the grip, the look, the comfort. love!

I returned this product before using it

Size Bought:

8.5

I ended up returning them. They felt comfy but I just couldn’t get over how substantial they felt. You need to be doing some major hiking or a moon landing to wear these bad boys.

comfortable hiker

I loved these at the start of hiking season this summer. They are very cushioned, which was important to me because I sustained a broken heel a few years ago and after 4 surgeries I can hike in these and my foot doesn’t hurt! They have also kept my feet dry. However, after hiking 10 hikes this summer, 6 being 4000+ feet of altitude, the tread seems to be wearing quickly. On my last two hikes I slipped twice on wet granite rock where I hadn’t before. I don’t feel secure enough to wear them anymore. Here in Maine, we have a lot of muddy wet trails even in dry conditions. All the other Salomon boots have very durable treads, why hasn’t the company done the same with these?

Great fit and ankle support

I've had these a month and used them in Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. A pleasure to wear. I was concerned the heel would be poor for descending rocky outcrops but they're fine. Sole prob not as grippy on rock as other Salomons though. Waiting to see how they wear too. Recommended for paths, not so much rock scrambling.

Amazing for long hikes!!!

I bought these after buying and trail-testing four other hiking boots pre-travel. They were amazingly comfortable right out of the box. Took them to Iceland and wore them on a five day hike on the Laugevegur trail. My feet felt great the entire time and the boots handled all types of terrain—providing stability up and down steep slopes, loose gravel, occasional snow and ice, crossing streams. No blisters, no soreness, and felt great to put them on day after day. The cushioning was superb; I credit the boots for my lack of back pain despite prior back surgery. Truly grateful I found these.

Comfy from Day One

These boots were very supportive and comfortable! They were comfortable to walk in right away. I was relieved because I did not leave any time to break them in.

Bottes légères/ confortables

Faites un peu grandes. Je suis habituellement un 10.5 et j’ai pris la grandeur 10. Elles sont confortables et légères Pas très hautes. Je recommande! Livraison assez rapide

Great but size up

I have all kinds of Salomons (ski boots, hiking boots, trail runners) in 7.5 and had to exchange these for 8 due to toe hitting front. Once I got the right size, and got over the (white) basketball hip hop look for hiking boots, I have loved these - much much less foot fatigue than my regular thinner soled boots. About to wear on a long distance walk.

Super comfortable

No break in period required as they are comfortable right out of the box. The generous toe box is much appreciated. Love the cushioning, waterproofness, support and rockered soles.
