Our take on the Men's Elixir Activ GTX

The Salomon Elixir Activ GTX is a men's waterproof hiking shoe built for day hikes on mixed terrain. Its plush midsole and Active Chassis give a soft, guided ride that favors comfort over stiffness, and the Gore-Tex membrane keeps feet dry in wet weather. It suits hikers who want cushioning and support without a heavy boot, though it is less rigid and protective than burlier backpacking shoes. Owners rate it highly, with most praise going to out-of-the-box comfort and grip.

Questions and answers

Is the Elixir Activ GTX truly waterproof?
Yes. It uses a Gore-Tex membrane, so it keeps feet dry in rain and on wet trails. The trade-off is less breathability than a non-waterproof shoe.
How does it compare with Salomon's X Ultra?
The Elixir Activ is plusher and more cushioned, aimed at comfort on day hikes. The X Ultra line is firmer and more precise underfoot, which some hikers prefer for fast, technical terrain.
Does it need breaking in?
Owners report it is comfortable from the first wear, so little break-in is needed. Give it a short hike before a long one to confirm the fit.
Is it good for backpacking with a heavy pack?
It is best for day hikes and light loads. The softer midsole and flexible build offer less support and protection than a stiffer backpacking shoe or boot.
What is the Active Chassis?
It is a midsole and outsole structure that guides the foot laterally on uneven ground. It adds stability without making the shoe feel rigid.
What is in the box?
One pair of Salomon Elixir Activ GTX hiking shoes. Insoles are included with the shoes.
Where is the Men's Elixir Activ GTX cheapest?
At Mountain Sports, for $155.00, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Men's Elixir Activ GTX?
