When hiking or backpacking, having supportive boots helps increase our comfort on the trails. The Salomon Elixir Activ Mid GTX Boot is a mid-height waterproof boot with a durable upper that breathes well and has rock protection. A GORE-TEX waterproof membrane keeps all moisture away while remaining breathable enough to go on long hikes, and the 6-inch height of the boot adds ankle stabilization and protection. The padded tongue and collar add extra comfort and provide a snug fit, while the 5mm lugs and reverse camber-shaped sole outsole down massive amounts of traction and provide a smoother stride.
