Why We Like The Salomon Elixir Activ Mid GTX Boot
When hiking or backpacking, having supportive boots helps increase our comfort on the trails. The Salomon Elixir Activ Mid GTX Boot is a mid-height waterproof boot with a durable upper that breathes well and has rock protection. A GORE-TEX waterproof membrane keeps all moisture away while remaining breathable enough to go on long hikes, and the 6-inch height of the boot adds ankle stabilization and protection. The padded tongue and collar add extra comfort and provide a snug fit, while the 5mm lugs and reverse camber-shaped sole outsole down massive amounts of traction and provide a smoother stride.

Good looking, comfortable, lightweight - try!
I tried white version of this shoe in store, but they did not have the grey color unfortunately, so I bought it online. However, I can give my first impressions based on in-store experience. The white/orange version looks very cool, but it will get dirty after first hike I assume, yet for the city/style wearing that would be perfect. Now, comparing to the beloved X-Ultra lineup - I owned X-Ultra 3, Mid 3 and 4 and I can say those have harder undersole and stiff while wearing, while these shoes feel more flexible and comfortable. Sure if I was buying solely for hiking, I would get X-Ultras for that stiffness, but having those for years I thought it's good chance to try something more comfy for wearing in the city as well. Overall they look good, more sporty than X-Ultras but less sporty than Speedcross and others. I would recommend these.

Elixir Activ Mid Go
Received these as an exchange. A really lightweight shoe, great stability, a shoe that despite its lightness feels like it won’t let you down.
