Check out the reviews and videos for the Salomon Quest 4d GTX boot and you decide if it is good enough for your next hike in the field or mountains.
First let me start by saying I am merely a day hiker, nothing extreme or expedition.
That being said I have worn Merrell hiking boots for alot of years. So this time around I needed something a little higher for support and wow.
These things do fit like a slipper they are extremely comfortable to wear. The laces are tough since I usually pull pretty hard on them and the hook lace system I have always preferred. Some people say these fit like a ski boot and I could see that perhaps as Salomon makes Ski Boots. But wearing the Salomon Quest boots out in the mountains was a good surprise. I just got back from a weekend from leyus caves to mt. adams and goldendale area.
I forgot I was even wearing these things. What I mean by that is, “there wasn’t anything I noticed like heel strikes, sore foot, blisters or anything that would even have me look down as if something felt wrong. My new favorite hiking shoe/boot.
Salomon Quest 4d GTX review
I am overseas on deployment and I needed some light boots that would breathe and give ankle support for the mountains. I carry a decent amount of weight and the slopes here are steep and jagged. These boots have been amazing. I put on my Belleville boots a few days ago and was just disgusted in how terrible they felt on my feet. The Salomon Quest 4D GTX Boot are the best boots I have ever worn. A++
