Elixir Activ Mid GTX®

A Little tight in my right pinky toe but for not trying them on Im pretty happy. I can tell the quality difference between these and a knock off brandcI suffered through a 23 mile hike with.

my daughter wore these on her hiking trip to Old Rag and she said they were perfect and comfortable.

too clunky for me

Ive worn the speed cross for 10 years trail running. I have size 5-6 narrow feet. I figured the Salomon hikers would too be a narrow good fit. I slid inside of the shoe causing blisters on the top middle and back of my foot. The upper cuff bruised my Achilles. This shoe fits like a hoka which also was very wide. The sole did not hold up on rocky terrain. Expensive bummer test run for Teton terrain.

I purchased these several weeks ago, and they are roomy for my toes which is wonderful since I had foot surgery. I can wear these with no discomfort.

I tested these shoes out on a dry rocky trail in Southern California hoping they could serve as a lighterweight option to my Quest 4s. But as I navigated various elevation changes with loose gravel and dirt the grip wasn't strong enough and I slipped multiple times and even fell once. Overall the shoes are comfortable and I initially liked them, but with the lack of grip, I wouldn't recommend them especially if you're in wet conditions or unsure of your footing. Also, I found the tongue of the shoe a bit hard to close, and depending on the weather, it may be challenging to keep your feet dry. Considering how expensive these are it's a bummer they're more like a walking shoe.

I purchased these after buying a pair of the Elixir Active GTX Shoe - which have worked out GREAT for me. I was always and X-Ultra Hiking Shoe and boot wearer...but over the years Salomon has changed that style and I felt not for the better. I am glad to find these Elixir for a replacement.
