Elixir Activ Mid Gore-Tex Walking Boots

Very comfortable on first wear. No problems with needing to 'bed in'. Great colour.

These boots are fantastic. They are comfortable, and have fantastic grip on the soles. Highly recommend

I wore these for my entire trip in the grand canyon and throughout a lot of hiking in Arizona a while back and continue to hike with them closer to home. They never became uncomfortable for me. I got a size 7.5 and that’s usually my size, so I’d say they fit true to size.

I bought these for winter walks and I am so delighted I normally get a 7 and these are a 7.5 and they are a perfect fit with any socks. They feel like light weight trainers but behave like sturdy walking boots. Totally waterproof and supportive.

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

I bought this a few weeks ago and it’s very comfortable. It’s super lightweight, good grip and firm cushion sole. It’s not as narrow as other hiking shoes, great for my wide feet. I did size up though, usually 8.5 in a running shoe and went up to a 9.

Wore them first time up Snowdon, did not have a chance to break into them. It was not needed, they were so comfortable. Fit was perfect for someone who prefers wide fit. I have arthritis in my feet, was worried they would be heavy, but these were so lightweight!

I’m always drawn to Salomon, having completed many long walks 40 miles etc they never fail.

Haven’t had a chance to wear these hiking yet, but they have been great for walking around the city in all kinds of weather.

Just bought my second pair for an upcoming hiking trip in Austria. Bought my first pair after bilateral bunion surgery and have walked the heck out of them. Love that they are light weight, foot bed is comfortable and supportive. Best boots. Ever!!

Bought size 7 for my daughter (shoe size 6). On arrival, was a bit worried they might be too narrow. After trying them, she thought a bit tight but after slackening the laces , she found them very comfortable

Bought these for myself after my husband positively raved about his! Very lightweight shoes but can withstand hours of trekking around the countryside or walking around the city. There's plenty of room for the toes to move and the footbed holds the foot nicely. The ankles feel supported with the cushioning. There was none of the breaking-in-shoes-pain even from the first wearing. The flat laces tie up well and don't work loose with wear. Wore these shoes outside during very wet rainy conditions and they held the wet ground well. No slips or skids. Very impressed. The beige tones of the footwear look great with skinny blue jeans or black/beige wide leg trousers. Both husband and I wear the shoes to work as they are so comfortable to wear (we don't have a strict dress code). They are a considered purchase but Saloman footwear generally last well, it's money well spent.

I was basically looking for a walking shoe (easy terrain) with a high ankle. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada and love walking. My feet and hips were getting sore from the unnatural gait of walking with a winter boot on. The boots are heavy and your ankle doesn’t flex properly. So I was wearing my Solomon running shoes but my feet were getting wet from kicking up loose snow and it going down inside the ankles and through the fabric. Ordered these and haven’t looked back! Extremely comfortable and they seem to actually promote proper posture and walking gait. I honestly feel like walking is easier in these shoes. I can go for miles! Bonus’- Waterproof and the higher ankle stops my feet from getting wet. Room for a thicker sock. Only con is that I have a narrower ankle and I still have not figured out how to stop heel slippage. I will keep working on it. Could be user error Note. I had to rate durability of product. Haven’t owned long enough. This is based off of other Salomon products I’ve owned

These boots didn't need any breaking in and were comfortable from the first time wearing them. They keep my feet dry and are very supportive for my ankles. I gave a 4 stars because the only downside for me is that the tongue is attached inside, making them a bit tight over the top of the foot when putting them on. This limits the thickness of the socks that I can wear, so I will not be able to wear these boots in colder weather.
