Why We Like The Salomon Elixir Activ GTX Shoe
With maximum cushioning and mixed terrain traction, the Salomon Elixir Active GTX Shoe can keep us comfortable on almost all the trails we hike. This technical hiking shoe has more cushioning than most Salomons while featuring the brand's Active Chassis, which adds foot support and lateral stability for more protection. This rare mix of comfort and support makes the Elixer a comfortable choice for everything from day hikes to long-distance trails.

Problem
I'm a mailman so I do a lot of walking. I want to like the shoe but these are its problems: 1. They're not actually waterproof, your feet will get wet. 2. As someone previously mentioned, the shoe "clicks" and is severely annoying and impractical. 3. Mine have torn at the inner foot bunion area. I don't really have bunions, nor have I had other shoes tear there normally. If these points could be corrected, then GREAT SHOE 5/5. Otherwise, the problems listed are quite drastic so honestly, 1/5. I'd simply have to recommend a different shoe. These do look nice and walk nicely though.

Salomon Elixir Active Gore-Tex Trail Shoe
From the moment that I first put this shoe on I knew that it was going to be a great trail shoe! The footbed cradles your foot and the shoe holds your foot secure and provides exceptional stability. The Gore-Tex interior ensures that your feet stay dry and the well-cushioned sole with deep legs keep your feet happy and secure on a majority of road/trail types. This is an all around excellent trail shoe!
