Salomon

Elixir Active GTX®

Women's

My foot is now in the wide category of things, and I also wear a 10-10.5, which is a nightmare of a combination because hardly anyone makes 10.5s. I needed a waterproof sneakery type shoe for a 2 week trip to Europe for the Christmas Markets, and I remembered I had a pair of Salomon sneakers that I loved, so I'm very glad I checked to see if they made waterproof ones! Pros: Lug on the bottom looks great for crappy winter weather. Waterproofing looks solid. Can use your own inserts easily. Wide toe box meant my foot was fine in this shoe vs. specifically a wide width shoe (I have bunions). Style is cool. Cons: I got the 10 from Zappos initially and they were definitely snug. I had to order the 10.5 from Amazon, and it was a smidge bigger in the heel, but width was great (heel locking your laces helped a lot with any slipping). If you need a wider shoe, consider going up a half size. In terms of color, I got the India Ink and some photos out there have it looking more shades of gray with no purple. Cool light it feels a hint more purple-ish, outside, it definitely feels more gray-ish. Photos- inside with gray cat for comparison. Outside in full sunlight, and you can see a hint of lilac on the lug.

This shoe fit what I was looking for. It’s comfortable, but I might use another arch support in the shoe for further support. Wasn’t sure about sizes and 2 of these shoes. I think run somewhat larger in length especially. As always, I knew exactly where to purchase them which is through Zappo’s, great website to shop, great customer service and no problems with returns- ever! I’ve been a customer of Zappo’s for awhile and they never disappoint! Feel confident shopping, especially for good prices, great quality, large selection, etc…Thank you Zappo’s for continued great service!

Very comfortable after long walks and good traction on slippery stones. After reading reviews, I ordered my regular shoe size 7.5. Usually, in a running shoe I size up but decided not to and they fit perfect. There is plenty of room in the toe box and they hold my feet in place. Nice and sturdy.

They'd be perfect if they were just half a size smaller.

Great hiking shoe. Lightweight. Good arch support.
