Men's Salomon Elixir Activ GORE-TEX Hiking Boots

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: How do these Salomon hiking boots fit, and should I size up?

  A: If you already wear Salomon, order your usual Salomon size. If you are coming from another brand, we recommend going up 1/2 size from your regular shoe size. If your half size is not offered, go up to the next whole size.

• Q: Are these boots waterproof for hiking in wet conditions?

  A: Yes, they have a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane to help keep water out. For the best protection, make sure the laces are snug and the tongue is properly centered so water is less likely to enter from the top.

• Q: Do they have enough cushioning for long days on the trail?

  A: Yes, they are built with a FuzeFoam midsole designed for cushioned comfort with a responsive feel. A recycled molded EVA sockliner adds another layer of underfoot comfort.

• Q: What kind of traction do they have on mixed terrain?

  A: They use a Contagrip rubber outsole designed for dependable traction across varied surfaces. It is a solid choice when your route includes everything from packed dirt to uneven, rocky sections.

• Q: What helps them feel stable on rocky or technical trails?

  A: Active Chassis construction is designed to add stability when the terrain gets more technical. The SensiFit upper helps hold the foot securely for a confident feel on uneven ground.

• Q: What types of hikes are these boots best for?

  A: They are a great match for day hiking, multiday hiking and walking. If you want one boot for a range of outings, the mid height design balances support with an easy, trail-ready feel.
