Customer Reviews Salomon Quest 4 GTX®

I previously had used the Quest Prime GTX extensively over the last two summers. I wore them exclusively for doing forestry, wildfire mitigation and vegetation management type work. They got plenty of abuse and held up well for what I put them through. The Quest 4D is a similar feel with a few more features than the Prime. It's a bit more stable feeling. Sole feels a bit more grippy, and overall the Quest 4D seems slightly more durable. Same roomy fit ( I have a medium width, medium high arch foot). My foot measures out to 27cm with a sock, so I went with the 9.5 US. Felt a bit big at first, but has broken in nicely and I have good width and toe wiggle room, so I would say about perfect for me fit-wise. I can be on my feet for 6-8 hours a day without issue in the Quest 4D in all kinds of terrain. So far a great purchase for me. Considering the almost daily and rough use the boots get, I'll be happy if I get a full summer season out of them, which is about 6 months or so. Thanks Salomon!

I have owned 3 pair in total. Over the years. 1st couple pair lasted me a little over 3 yrs. That's good in my world. I use them every day. This last pair I had about a year and had issues with them. Contact customer service. They requested information and proof of purchase. ( all in the Warrenty info) they warrented them. I just ordered a replacement pair. Unfortunately they didn't have my size so, I am going to try "X ULTRA TREK GORE-TEX"

I have tested this pair of boots and I found that working for 8 hours in the rain and snow was pretty amazing. Once I tighten my shoe laces I felt an instant firmness and stability while standing still, then while walking and walking faster over the snow was even gripper. Under 9 degrees Fahrenheit wearing a light pair of socks I wasn't feeling cold, it kept my feet very warm at all times. Under heavy rain the Gore-tex on this pair kept my feet dry even when I stepped deep in the mix of ice and water. I still walked carefully under black ice and it seems that my ankle was tight and firm that I could even manage my imbalances. 95 percent I spent working over pasture and I felt secure. I hope it will last me a while since they aren't cheap. So far I have 2 pairs of the same model. I do recommend theses boots to anyone.

I finally hung up my old boots, which were an earlier generation of these boots. Still feel solid, sure-grip, even the lacing feels the same. However, the new generation is longer, even though I bought the same size.

Love the boot. The laces are excessively long in my opinion.

Once a week hiker here, and thought I had found the perfect boot. And honestly it was. For two years. Most comfortable, lightweight and seemingly durable boot I ever had. But two years in on a very rainy day hike in Ireland they broke up with me- the seams on both just gave in and my feet were soaked. I'm curious if this is the lifespan of what I can expect, as while I am not a hiker every weekend, I do a lot of one day a week moderate hikes (less in winter)? But not one to just write of what was such a great boot, I am going to try a new pair this holiday season, as for those two years they were without question the best boot I every had.

dont get to wear them much since wife got me to this southern ontario place but when i can find some kind of trail they seem to have lots of support and seem to breath ok. just came back from trip home to vancouver island and went in the woods for 5 days hiking and camping. pretty wet but feet stayed dry and comfortable . only complaint would be about the laces seem pretty long but that could just be me since all of my shoes have the quicklace system

Seems like these will do great for snow blowing and shoveling long driveway... but Winter has yet to rear its ugly head.

I've had these boots for almost two years. Most people will complain that they haven't lasted "two seasons" but my boots easily have over 500 miles on them. Straight out of the box they were ready to go, required no break in period which I loved because my feet didn't get murdered. My boots have been through 3 Montana trips one of the trips temperatures dropped to below zero and that was the only time I couldn't handle the cold in the boots. For not being insulated, I was amazed. They have also been up and down Mt Whitney, have done hundreds of miles of off trail scouting, hunting, and shooting trips. I would say they've been waterproof, but like any leather boot when water or morning dew start to soak the leather it can dampen your socks a bit if you don't apply any wax on them. Even then, my last 50 miles on them was my Idaho elk hunt. I thought they were too worn and would provide no water protection at that point. The only reason I took them was because my new boots would of destroyed my feet since they were not broken in. Hiking out on my last day I fell off a beaver dam and I went into the water about knee deep. I knew then that the boots were still water proof because for the last two miles of that hike water would not leave my boot. I was too lazy to stop and dump the water out and air my feet out since I was excited to be heading out. I loved how comfortable they were, I love the stability and the grip they provide and I loved the use I was able to get out of them. Like most of the reviews I've read on here, the rubber does begin to separate from the leather very early on which is a bummer, but it did not seem to compromise the boot.

My first pair of legit hiking boots. Still breaking them in. Wore them around the house day one and then took them out for an easy 3 mile hike and I have no complaints so far!

I am still running in these, but so far I have been very pleased

Got in May so far thier a good pair of hiking boots comfortable, passed thier 1st 20 miles going up to lake Delta ny

Was a little hesitant only because these boots are the first pair of salomon's i have gotten. I ordered online and they are true to my size feet. Very comfortable, and I work 9 hour days on concrete and brick all day.

The new lacing system is a great improvement. I've had several pairs of Quest 4's and all have been comfortable and reliable but the new version seems to be really hot to wear. I appreciate Gore -Tex doesn't breath too well but I've never had this problem with earlier Quest $s. I assume the model does not come without Gore-Tex as I have not been able to find any.

Unfortunately the boot doesn't fit my foot very well. I have a slightly narrow foot thats also low volume and the fit was just too sloppy(roomy) for my tastes. The length of the boot was fine and what I expect from a size 12. Seems like it would be a good boot for somebody if it fits.

I've been wearing quest 4d for over 5 years. I haven't found a boot that are as comfortable as these yet. I usually wear these 14 hours plus a day, wear them until the bottoms are smooth

Worth every penny. Very comfortable and high quality. I will buy from here again when needed.

Bought these to transition away from trail running shoes for hiking. They felt really good right out of the box. Wore them around town to see if there would be any break in before I used them hiking. There was just a small bit of rub on the top of my toes, but not bad. I usually buy wide width shoes and boots, but the toe box on these has plenty of room.

Amazing in cold hiking or even in snow hiking. Walking in the city too as well. Even for construction worker can wear it.

I upgraded my old Quest 2 boots with Quest 4. They are comfortable right out of the box and breaking in nicely. Super durable just like the Quest 2 and give a lot of ankle support

I wore these on a pheasant hunting trip. The field was wet one morning after a rain. Within fifteen minutes my boots were completely soaked through. All others in my group had dry feet with other boots on.

The laces are held on by plastic. One of which broke after 3 miles. Again, plastic.

This one is a 2nd pair of Quest 4 boots. Perfect fit and great in all terrain. I get em out Teo or three x per week. Bombproof
