Salomon Elios XCR Hiking Shoe - Men's - 2007

Hit the trail fast and light with the Salomon Men's Elios XCR Hiking Shoe. The Elios' Gore-Tex XCR insert keeps you dry while allowing your foot to breathe. Burly waterproof leather construction mixed with a highly breathable, but waterproof mesh sandwich keep the Elios comfortable and dependable on anything from Utah red rock to rainy Oregon trails. Salomon's Contragrip soles give you solid purchase on all but the worst terrain and the Ortholite antimicrobial insert fights back the funk.

Bottom Line: The Salomon Elios XCR Hiking Shoe tackles the trail with lightweight agility and 3-season durability.

Need a break in

By:
October 16, 2007

I agree with another reviewer that said these were painful. I travel a lot of work and wanted something comfortable but rugged and waterproof. These are light and fit well but hurt my feet when I first got them. They seem to cut into the top front part of the foot. They have softened up over time but I can not imagine doing some serious hiking or something right out of the box. I just noticed today that there looks to be another version of this shoe, so maybe Salomon did something to fix the issue that I had with them being painful. At this point I do not regret buying them, just be prepared for a need to break these in first before some major use.

WAY TOO NARROW

By:

I bought the size 13's and they are the narrowest size 13's I've ever had on my feet - they barely fit and I've got narrow feet. That much was obvious when I first put them on. What also became obvious after a week of wearing them was that the left side insole is badly shaped - I'm starting to list when I walk. Bad mistake buying these shoes! (Aside from the fit problems, the quality of the shoes seems fine - hence the two stars.)

ouch

Wore them around the house,thought they fit pretty well but seams over the top of my toes started to bite when I took them on the trail. Then, with not very many miles they are ripping around the ankle.
I've had good luck with Salomon products before but these were a real loser.

Good stuff

By:

Right out of the box I put these on and hiked for ten days in Europe. Comfortable from day one. I have a slightly narrow foot so I have a hard time getting a good fit. But the XCR is a great buy.

Shoes look great - too narrow

The shoes look like they would be comfortable and sturdy. They were just too narrow. Wish they came in wide!
