Customer Reviews Salomon Quest 4D 3 GTX

I've been wearing boots for years! Spending time in the Marine Corps I've always thought I would need a couple months to break in boots to have them be "Comfortable". I wouldn't dare take a fresh pair of "B8TES" or "Banners" on a 10 mile hike or out to the field for a couple weeks. But I've heard nothing but great things about these Boots and Salomon overall! So the girlfriend and I planned to hike up Mt. Baldy. About an 11.5 mile 4,000 ft elevation hike. I did it along with a 40LB plate carrier to increase the work out. And boy by the end of the hike I was in love with these boots! The only breaking in I did prior to this hike was 3 hours wearing them around the house just to see how my feet felt in them. But they felt great from the beginning to the end of the 11.5 miles and 4,000 for elevation gain! For years I've suffered from planters fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis. I usually always flared up after even just a 5 mile hike in other boots and would be in pain for at least a week. But with these Quest 4D's this definitely wasn't the case! They are sized to the T. I'm a 9, ordered 9 and they fit like a 9. The heel drop is very slight compared to the traditional boot even though they don't look like it. Super grippy and my feet felt protected but didn't feel like they were in a straight jacket! These were my first pair of Salomon's and definitely looking to look more into their running and casual shoes!

These are my second pair of boots. I put about 500 miles on the first pair. I have hiked in Northern California in Fern Canyon where the trail is a flowing stream. I hiked in Minnesota during the rainy season in tall wet grass. I mostly hike in Arizona where it can be hot and dry or rainy and wet as you can see in the photo of me hiking the Superstition Mountains. These boots stayed dry in every instance. They are very comfortable, sturdy and grippy. My average hike is between 8-12 miles. When I am doing a difficult hike it seems the only things that do not hurt are my feet. These are the best boots I have owned. You will not be sorry if you buy them

I have put over 600 miles on these boots so far. They are very comfortable boots although they do run about 1/2 size too small at least for me. I have hiked mostly in the Arizona desert with some hiking in Minnesota and California. I have hiked through streams in Northern California, and through trails with tall grass during the rainy season in Minnesota. The trails I hike in Arizona are rocky, sandy and at times gravel. These boots are very well built and the soles have good gripping power over rocks and in gravel. I have found that the area in the front of the boot where the rubber is glued over the toe area is just starting to come loose, but something a little glue will fix. I would recommend these boots. I will be buying another pair when I need them.

I am regularly doing hiking 5-6 days a week for around 8-10 km for the last 10 year in Margallah Mountains Islamabad Pakistan. I have been using North Face, Columbia and some other brands of shoes during this period. But I bought Salomon brand shoes for the first time. I have bought Quest 4D 3 GTX model of shoes. These are the perfect pair of shoe I ever used. Very comfortable, light weight and best for Rocky Mountains. I really appreciate and recommend the quality of these shoes and advise hikers to buy these shoes for hard and rocky moutineering.

Best booots I've ever hiked in. Comfortable right out of the box. Strong and supportive. It's like putting your feet in a mobile fortress. The only issue I've had is keeping the laces tied.

I bought these boots because they were stiff. I needed a stiff sole to correct a problem with joint impingement of the second toe. I have to walk a lot at work and they have helped avoid surgery. They are surprisingly comfortable and not to heavy. I plan on buying another pair.

Used a pair of Salomon 3D years ago to complete the TrailWalker 100km. Last year I suffered from foot injury when trying to complete the Wainright Coast to Coast. Chose the 4D GTX and have already done 300 miles in them. Super comfortable, very supporting, excellent arch structure, fully waterproof (like short wellies!), and have been remarkably easy to wear in. They are "heavy" at first, but they don't reduce my speed over ground and improve my stamina, so get a big thumbs up. Extra thumbs up for the grip; 3D were a little lacking, but the 4D GTX grip is excellent (and I have a pair of Inov8 Rocklite G345 to compare with).

I have now purchased three pairs of these & can honestly say I am over the moon with them, comfortable & the waterproof throughout the life of the boot - great buy

I bought this boot as previously owned a pair which lasted for four years and in the last year walked over 1500 miles in.So far walked over100 miles and no problems excellent fit
