Salomon Women’s Ellipse GTX

I bought these hiking boots a couple years ago in order to have a pair of approach shoes when I go rock climbing. I wanted a shoe that was lighter weight and a low profile on the ankle so I didn’t feel so encumbered like with my ankle height boots. I wanted a shoe that was comfy like a sneaker but offered more protection for my toes since I am a bit clumsy. 

I came across this shoe in the REI discount bin and since I love a good deal and I already had wanted these shoes, I bought them in a heartbeat! I would give them an 8 out of 10. They are great for hike a below 5 miles. My feet start hurting over 5 miles because the width isn’t quite right but they are great for an approach shoe! They have worn super well and I use them regularly! I would recommend this shoe!
Here is the link to the shoe!
