Salomon

Quest 4 GTX Backpacking Boot - Men's

Great all round boot

Really happy with the boot and a good fit as I have a wide foot

Great hiking/work boot

The shoes have held up very well even after putting a 1000 miles on them. Sole wearing is expected after that much distance. Shoes have held up great. Offer good support.

Comfort and confidence

I Bought these recently and I have total comfort and confidence while hiking on the muddy trails.

I have used a version of this boot for years. Right now I have 2 new pair I'm breaking in; but, this boot really let me down. I started down Bright Angel Trail. I marched straight to the Colorado River. I changed out my socks. As I was doing that I looked down at my right boot and a big section of tread of missing. So, I'm in the bottom of the Grand Canyon and my boots are failing. It ruined my R2R that took months to plan and line up the reservations. There was no way I could continue across, so I had to go back up all because some idiot at Salomon did quality check the glue job on this boot. I'll never, I repeat, NEVER, will buy another product from Salomon.

Great Feature!

I am an archaeologist which means I will have a lot of field work. I like the view of outside of it. I think it could work very well in field.

Salomon on Biafo in Karakorum

As a seasoned trekker, I recently had the opportunity to put the Salomon QUEST 4 GORE-TEX boots to the test on the challenging Baltoro Glacier trek. The combination of rugged terrain, unpredictable weather, and long hours of hiking provided the perfect conditions to evaluate these boots. The QUEST 4 GORE-TEX boots exceeded my expectations in every way. The GORE-TEX membrane proved to be exceptionally waterproof, keeping my feet dry even in the most inclement conditions. The Contagrip outsole provided excellent traction on icy and rocky surfaces, ensuring stability and preventing slips. The boots were surprisingly comfortable, offering adequate support and cushioning even after hours of hiking. In conclusion, I highly recommend the Salomon QUEST 4 GORE-TEX boots to any trekker seeking a reliable and comfortable pair of boots. The combination of waterproofness, durability, and traction make them ideal for challenging mountain environments. While the Salomon website could be improved in certain areas, it remains a valuable resource for purchasing quality outdoor gear.

Comfy, but not waterproof

3rd pair of these boots. I really enjoy the fit and the wide footbed. They are comfy for all day walking/hiking and have enough support for my ankle, but yet still have some freedom in my ankle to move. The tread has held up to the demands of hiking in both summer and winter. I get an average life of about 6 months from these before they begin to fail. This is 5 days a week use with hiking 1-2 days a week up to 5kms. They are not waterproof. The last pair that I went through I cut into them to discover that the waterproofing inner goretex is only the sides and attaches to a felt bottom. I regularly had troubles with the waterproofing of the boot when I’d walk through puddles 2-3” deep. Could not figure out, till I cut into the boot, while the bottom of my foot was always wet. I now know.

TERRIBLY quality, EXTREMELY expensive!!

I have owned numerous pairs of Salomon boots before. They used to last quite well but the latest pair I have owned have been atrocious. When I initially purchased them there appeared to be a sort of "fault line" sort of scored into the leather/suede part. I wish I had taken a picture of them then as, after less than a year, they have split in that exact area. It almost looks as though Salomon built this into the boot to make it fail!! Absolutely shocking! They now leak water as though I have no boots on and are frankly only fit for the bin after less than a year. Given the price of these boots this is utterly appalling!! I doubt I’ll be buying any more Salomon boots at this rate

Great hiking boot

Great all around hiking boot, with great ankle support
