- Is the Elixir Activ Mid GTX fully waterproof?
- Yes. It uses a Gore-Tex membrane, so it keeps water out in rain and on wet trails. Water can still enter over the collar in deep puddles or stream crossings.
- How does it compare with the Salomon X Ultra Mid GTX?
- The Elixir Activ is softer and more cushioned, aimed at comfort on day hikes. The X Ultra is firmer and more trail-focused, with a more precise fit for faster hiking.
- Does it need breaking in?
- Most owners report little to no break-in. The soft textile upper and cushioned midsole feel comfortable on the first hike, though a short test walk is still wise.
- Is it supportive enough for backpacking?
- It works for light overnight packs, but the soft midsole gives less support under heavy loads. For multi-day backpacking, a stiffer boot like the Salomon Quest is a better match.
- Can I wash these boots in a machine?
- No. They are not machine washable. Clean them by hand with a soft brush and mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat.
- What sizes and colors are available?
- It comes in US women's sizes from 5.5 to 11 and in gray, brown and beige colorways.
