Quest 4 GTX Backpacking Boot - Men's

Nice sturdy boots

I bought these boots a month ago to replace a pair of hiking boots which lasted me about ten years. The Quest 4 look good and feel robust. They feel sturdy and offer great ankle support for tougher terrain. They do feel a bit stiff at first but it gets better every time I wear them.

Rubber Peeled Away From Toe

I'm a long time, loyal Salomon boot wearer. My last pair were Quests and the rubber peeled away from the toe sooner than what I thought. I went ahead and replaced them with the newer Quest 4. Out of the box, they were exceptionally stiff from toe-to-heel. As an offtrail hiker, this meant it was constant. This did not go away and caused pain on pretty much every step on inclines. None of my other Salomon boots caused this at all. The biggest deal breaker was the rubber along the front of the foot coming away from the shoe. I owned them for ~8-10 months and it started happening during this time. And this was only over ~10 short trips. A lot of good things about these boots, but they're let down by foot pain and especially bad glue.

Exactly what I was looking for!

I ordered these from thier website. Arrived quickly. These are truly great hiking boots. Goretex and a hard sole. It just doesn't get any better. I only changed the laces to black to be a little more subdued. I would buy another pair when it's time to replace them.

Excelent boot without at sole...

I love this boot but agree with many of the reviews that the sole is durable. My pair has worn through in 6 month with normal use. I have about 300 miles on them. Dont believe this statement in the product description. "Contagrip® TD rubber outsoles with deep, aggressive lugs provide extended durability and maximum traction on mixed terrain"

Excellent Boots

Salomon products are top tier. I purchased these boots a month ago and they feel terrific. I've worn Salomon boots for over 12 years.

the best hiking boots and shoes

I've been a loyal customer since 2D CHASSIS that had been 10+ years. I've tried on every brand of hiking/workers boot out there and Salomon has always gave me the best support, comfort, and durability. My feet are so comfortable and don't fatigue when I wear Quest 4D for work with 2@ 4 hour periods on my feet Monday-Friday. Through 2.5 years the material of the shoe will start to separate with aggressive use and 3.5 years for the tread to bald with aggressive use.

Awesome hinere

I bought these a month ago. Once broken in they feel amazing!

Great Boots

These boots are fantastic, so much support around the ankle is just what I needed as I suffer from weak ankles. The quality of the materials used is of a high standard.

Ankle Pad Rubbing

I had these and broke them in well over 20hrs normal walking and 20 hrs hiking. When it was time to go they performed and then the ankle padding become bothersome on our first day of 3. The second day I was getting an ankle burn so I loosened them as much as possible. Then on the third day I had to switch out because of the discomfort. I'm a Solomon fan, however these didn't work out. Great boot over all and maybe a fluke on my pair. I did buy the mid version of these and they too work great. I would really like a hightop for support and keeping stuff out of my shoe. Good Luck

GREAT BOOT

I've put it through the wringer

Best boots I have ever worn!! Straight out of the box and I wore them all day without any hotspots. Very comfortable boot. Ankle support is superb and traction/grip is excellent.
