Glue coming apart after six months
I really wanted to like these boots because I spent way too much money on a hiking boot. I hike in true elevation (6000-12000 feet) and the first problem I had was these boots giving me gnarly blisters. So I thought ok, “break in period”, well it’s been six months and many miles of constant use and still same thing as day one. I’ve learned the limit is about 3 miles a day then the blisters start. The second problem is that the toes are starting to fall apart already. SO disappointing that companies can’t figure out a good glue for these cheaply made boots. I’ve learned that if you want a truly good boot, it has to be old school stitched because glue will fall apart no matter how expensive the boot is. I have a pair of red wings that refuse to quit after almost ten years of use. That is all I’ll be purchasing from now on.

The best outdoor boot I have ever worn
Surprisingly light for a large and sturdy outdoor boot, incredibly comfortable from the minute you put them on, with an effective lacing system. Oh, and waterproof too. No blisters ever, and in my experience no need to “wear in”. Very supportive, the best boots! I have wide ish feet so do try them on.

Looking at purchasing pair #4 but not sure
Worn through 3 pairs as daily drivers for hikes and jobsite trailer duty. Technically the tongue strap placement is an improvement. 4d chassis is still a must, so I don’t want other options with Salomon. I’m very hesitant on #4 because the latest rubber toe piece design ripped way too fast as compared to rips only after boot was past its duty cycle. Can’t help but be reminded of the ripped rubber toe. Buy again $$$ same result vs a different designed competitors boot. Love the comfort, dislike the length of life for the cost. TBD…

I recently got my new replacement gtx quest 4
My new boots really got put to the test in the PNW. Rained for four straight days while hiking, feet stayed nice and dry in the quest 4 gtx. Extremely happy

Best boots I have ever worn.
I have now bought 3 pairs of these. They are the best for hiking and provide the most durable support and flexibility a boot could have.

short lasting comfort
Used a brand new pair of quests starting beginning of August, about 25 days collectively of hunting, and about early november the shoes were fully worn out. Sole peeling off on multiple gashes, rubber/leather joints coming apart. I will say they were comfortable from the start, but did not make it all the way through one season. Will continue the search for a better shoe elsewhere..

No grip and no longevity
I owned a pair of these in the past and had them for 5 or so years and they were absolutely solid boots. When they eventually wore out, I thought I’d get another pair as they were faultless. However, these boots are NOT the same build. The grip is terrible and they sprung leaks almost instantly. The grip on wet rock is non existant and on numerous occassions I’ve had extremeley dangerous slips in different settings. On wet rocks near the sea, even a wet pathway caused the boot to just slip with no control, it’s ridiculous. They are extremely dangerous and it’s only a matter of time before they cause someone to slip in a precarious spot. Within 6 months a leak developed and after a year and a half of use both boots leak at the front. The boot fits nicely and is cozy. If the boots were durable and had improved grip, they’d be great, but unfortunately this boot struggles at the most important parts.

Good boot. Second pair.
Second pair of these boots. My first pair I got the desert tan ones and they fit like a glove. This time around I got the green pair and they were not as nice of a fit when first putting on. Quite rigid and needed to be broken in. I compared to my other pair and it seemed as if the material was slightly different. The first pair came from Cambodia the second from Vietnam. I ended up not liking the green color as much so I'll be returning to get the dessert tan again.

Great boots! Highly recommend.
Wear conditions: woods, nursery farm, and other various terrain. Easily walk several miles a day due to work. Daily wear for over a year, and the soles held up well! I normally struggle with one side of my shoe sole wearing down but these boots have held up, still are, in fact. I have ordered a pair as a gift for a friend, and just ordered my second pair. As long as they keep making them like this, I will be sticking with this boot for a long time to come. Highly recommend.
