Customer Reviews Salomon Ellipse Winter GTX

Hands down, the most comfortable hiking boots I've ever worn. The fit is fantastic with plenty of toe room. They are definitely water proof and warm, as well. Solid purchase!

I wanted a winter boot that would be cute enough for running errands on snow-sloppy days but also rugged enough to battle snow and uneven terrain in the off-trail hiking I regularly do. Once again, Salomon does not disappoint. These were comfy right out of the box, really warm, and the upper part of the boot is stiff enough to be protective (I am prone to rolling ankles) but does not dig into my skin. Sadly this has been a very un-wintery winter so far in Michigan, so I haven't been able to test the boots yet in any significant snow, but I can't imagine they won't perform -- and I've been loving them so far on my daily walks and hikes. Fit is true to size with a medium-thick SmartWool sock.

I'm a 7.5 to 8 Reg. and had to go up a size to 8.5 in the Ellipse to fit a wool Smart Sock. They are comfortable, but within an hour of wearing them around the house my socks were damp with sweat . I have a pair of Salomon low-cut hiking boots with Gore-tex (purchased 3 yrs ago) that don't cause feet to sweat. Returning for a pair of boots that uses natural materials, leather & wool lining, that breath instead of manmade synthetics and rubber that hold moisture in. Too bad, really wanted this sturdy light weight boot to work.

This is a beautifully made boot with a fun style for winter activities. insulation and a great sole, and I'm pretty sure, comfortable too. Salomon typically nails it. I've liked my others. This one has just a bit too much "stuff" around the ankle making it quite thick feeling and looking, and IMO takes away from the cute styling. The extra thickness would certainly enhance warmth but even in Colorado winter not sure I need quite that much padding. Also about a half size too big, although for the heavy sock wearers it may be just perfect. For my winter "urban hikes" I'm looking for something a tad more like a sneaker bootie with a little insulation. I've got my eye on some other Salomons. I hope they continue in the design/styling direction they're on--so much better than many boring, clunky winter boots. Sadly this pair is going back.

Ordered a 9 med. I need a winter boot and thought of Salomon. This boot was perfect. Easy to lace up and go. I tried it on and my 29 year old son commented how great they looked. He never commented on anything I wear. I wear a 9 narrow and these work for me. Could they be narrow, yes, but as those who have narrow feet know that will never happen. I have enough room to put a warm bulky sock on in this boot. I plan to use it mostly for snowshoeing. My late husband's Salomons held up for 16 years and I expect these to last just as long.

These fit very comfortably & look nice on my feet. The lining makes them very warm! I haven't gotten to walk far in them yet, but I have high hopes.

These seem like nice, sturdy boots. The furry lining around the cuff made them nice and warm. The length was right, but with mid-weight socks on, my feet felt cramped. And I have narrow feet! There was not enough arch support for me, so I am returning them.

These boots were comfortable right out of the box. I like the support and the style. I wanted a winter boot that could go from the mountains to running errands around town without feeling like I was wearing a hiking boot. I've used them with yak-traks for hiking and they've worked well. The laces are slippery so I've had to rely on creative tying and looping to keep them tight until I replace them.
