    Brilliant fit

    Yes, I recommend this

    Extremely comfortable, well-cushioned, fit wonderfully well, and the Goretex waterproofing will be a great bonus, Their sober black is excellent for wear in town and country.

    Popping Noise from Left Shoe After Two Weeks

    Originally posted on salomon.com

    No, I don't recommend this

    This is my first pair of Salomon shoes (Elixir Activ GTX). I bought them with high expectations because Salomon is known as a premium brand. Unfortunately, I’m disappointed. After about two weeks of normal use, the left shoe started making a “flop-flop” / popping noise. The noise happens when I lift my foot off the ground while walking. If I press down on the sole with my fingers, the noise disappears, but it comes back as soon as I walk again. There is no visible damage on the outside of the shoe. From what I’ve read, this kind of sound usually means there is a layer bonding (delamination) problem inside the sole. Because of the noise, the shoe is very uncomfortable to use, especially in quiet places. I honestly expected better quality from Salomon.

    Shoes are comfy, like the style but wow they are noisy. I am planning to do the Camino de Santiago in the near future, not sure if i will be taking these shoes or my Oboz.

    Socks get wet during walking on wet grass also the string to tie the shoe doesn’t tighten to a snug, not with the price

    Poor quality shoe, really disappointed. Was purchased for its goretex qualities and wore them for the the first time in wet conditions adnd they are absolute rubbish. I have non fortes shoes that keep my feet drier. Feeling a little ripped off

    I bought the GTX version after having a great experience with the lighter version over summer. It's nice to have a Salomon shoe without quicklaces - they last longer

    Horrible shoe

    Had these shoes now for about 6 months. Only moderate use. There is 3 of 4 tears in them, they leak. The soles are wore out. There is also a big bump wore up in the bottom of the shoe. Anyway not a great quality shoe at all.

    Shoe provides great support. It was quick to break in and it wears and feels like a much lighter shoe.

    Every Salomon shoe I have ever purchased have been very comfortable all day and with no break-in time. They feel great from the day you take them out of the box and feel the same six months later. The Elixir Active Goretex is no different. This is my second pair. I bought this second pair just for work. 10 hours a day on concrete floor and still ready to go at the end of the day!

    Get a half size bigger. The quality is good however like all shoe manufacturers the inner sole is poor quality. It’s firm lacks cushioning and so over time it’s get uncomfortable.

    Thanks for getting in touch with us here at Salomon. We would like to thank you for your review. We are surprised to hear of your issue with the insoles, as our ortholite insoles are generally well regarded as comfortable and adaptable. This will be passed to our quality department immediately.

    Worse than bad, they are dangerous!

    Originally posted on salomon.com

    No, I don't recommend this

    These look cool but I don't think they are designed well. I wore them probably a total of 5 times and in that time got the two worst ankle twists of my life. I never wore them again and am putting them in the trash where they belong. The problem is the sole is super wide and grippy, so it easily catches on things and puts a lot of torque on your foot, but the ankle is very low, so provides no help in resisting that torque. I have loved Salomon shoes in the past but these are terrible. Avoid these!

    Problem

    Originally posted on salomon.com

    No, I don't recommend this

    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

    Originally posted on salomon.com

    Yes, I recommend this

    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!
