Hi, the tongue is fully gusseted - so dirt and water not so easily penetrate the boot. Not particularly wide - but if thick socks size up! Great boots - off to continue my long walk in them in may! Can’t wait!! Many thanks for the comment
I’m not familiar with the raptors. That said size up for the Salomons. If you’re doing mega miles day after day on mixed terrain- including lots of tarmac - little will be better than the Salomons. They really really amazed me - have you seen my other videos about boots on my channel?? A few more on the elixirs
This is a green one- although agree it kinda looks tan here is colour www.salomon.com/en-gb/shop-emea/product/elixir-mid-gore-tex-li4506.html#color=83380
Those shoes suck as much as they look. That material that’s above your toes is the same rough material that’s inside your toe box grinding on the side of your foot as you walk or run.
Bamboo socks are the best. Keeps your feet dry, free of sweat, and run much cooler than any other material.
Very true!… thank you
Merino wool.
Hello, great video! just 2 questions: is the tongue fully-gusseted? is the forefoot wide or narrow? Thanks!

I have salomon boots, now I’m about to buy some new boots.. I wanted la Sportiva Raptor, but I saw these.. I have a wide foot, which would you choose?

Thanks for review I’ll get them
Is that boot white or more like a tan?

To each their own- agree they look … odd- but were fantastic for me , and ate up the miles with no discomfort from the mesh !!!
