Salomon Elixir Mid GORE-TEX Hiking Boots

A waterproof, premium mid-cut hiker that's committed to long-distance wearability and soft, balanced cushioning that's comfortable and tangible.

GORE-TEX Upper

To ensure feet remain dry and protected during your long adventures in changing weather conditions, the Elixir Mid GORE-TEX Boots utilise a GORE-TEX upper. The GORE-TEX materials provided in the upper construction of these boots are exceptionally waterproof, to prevent water from seeping through the fabrication, therefore preventing feet from becoming uncomfortable and wet. The shoes utilise Salomon's SensiFit construction to provide you with a strong, precise foothold, meaning in-show slipping is prevented, and feet remain comfortable from the start until the end of your adventures. The mid-height design protects feet from knocks and bumps when traversing across differing terrain. The boots have a soft, padded tongue and collar, meaning the shoes further provide your feet with a comfortable, plush, foot-hugging hold. This will also prevent irritation from being caused, whilst a traditional lace-up construction, further reduces in-shoe slipping, and keeps feet secure in the shoes.

Energy Foam Midsole

Providing you with premium levels of cushioning and working to keep feet comfortable on the hiking trails, the Elixir Mid GORE-TEX Boots utilise an Energy Foam midsole. This midsole section works to absorb shocks when taking intense strides, which in tandem helps to prevent injuries from occurring and provides additional spring to your step. The Reverse Camber sole geometry works to smooth out transitions between strides, whilst softening the flow. The rocker shape works to push you forward slightly, for a natural feel. Finally, the shoes use an Active Chassis to provide you with guidance and lateral support on rocky or tricky terrain.

Contagrip Outsole

Ensuring long-lasting grip, the outsole of the Elixir Mid has been constructed using Contagrip. The outsole utilises an all-surface rubber compound and a Reverse Camber lug pattern, for a confident grip on both wet and dry surfaces. The full rubber outsole provides premium traction on loose terrain ensuring a solid bond between you and the ground. The durable rubber used on the outsole of the boot is abrasion-resistant which will prevent any damage from occurring over a long period of time exposed to hard ground. The rubber compound offers a higher density of rubber in high-impact areas of the outsole where the most wear occurs throughout the miles, this helps reduce the wear and tear allowing you to run harder and for longer.
