Customer Reviews Salomon Quest 4 GTX

I don't understand the low reviews... granted, I don't backpack, but I LOVE these boots for the following reasons: runs a bit wide which is perfect for my large feet and cankles; great thread and waterproof, I have been using them on snowy hikes and stay dry and warm; super comfortable and, because they are wide, I can wear thick socks and still the boots don't feel tight; I love the high boot because it helps my weak ankles stay stable. Soooo, all that to say that I highly recommend these boots!

Perfect shoes for my trekking style. The width is also wide, so I don't get tired even if I walk for a long time.

Slim feet = stubbed toes on steep descents as my feet slide forward. These use snowboarding boot tech to lock the laces at the top of the foot so the foot is held in place. The ankle laces can be looser to give more movement without the looseness working down to the foot. Brilliant. Bought for when my other pair wear out!

These are the third pair I've owned. Live in rural Minnesota. This is my daily winter walker and my year round hiking and back packing boot. Midwest to mountains. Good traction on ice, over snow, thru wet muck and grippy on rocks. Plenty of room for my orthotic. Nice wide toe box. Laces stay tight so need to and re-lace. Treads wear out faster the more walking on pavement I do. But softer tread means better traction. I've been hiking and back packing for over almost forty years. I appreciate the support and stability for my aging knees, hips and back. Excellent boot. Highly recommend.

Bought this boot after researching online articles and reviews extensively for women's highest rated mountaineering/hiking boots. I'm going to use these for my Kilimanjaro summit trip this summer.Based on reviews I bought my normal athletic shoe size (USA-8M). My foot is narrow at the heel and these boots fit perfectly out of the box. I can loosen or tighten to customize my support when & where needed. Tested them on dirt trails in a state park: excellent support in all areas of my foot (ankle, arch, toe box, grip, weight). Tested on pavement and hard surface for a 10mi walk in Manhattan. Not a single issue with fit, durability or weight. My body was sore after a 10mi hike through Manhattan, but not my feet. The support in this boot is so solid that it feels like wearing ski boots to hold your feet/ankles in the proper orthopedic position. Therefore, my body had to acclimate being in a more correct, orthopedic foot support and gait. Which is a good thing for me. I love the color, the fit and the quality so much that my son bought his own pair in men's sizing.

The balance of stability, durability, lightweight, and comfort of this boot is the absolute best. This is my go-to for big rugged days or even when I need a full high waterproof boot on snowy trails. I even use them for hunting since often times bushwhacking in rough terrain comes into play. They provide incredible ankle support with a lacing system that is snug and doesn't loosen as you hike. The sole is grippy, I get zero hotspots because the fit is dialed, and these things will last years. When I need my most ruggedly capable hiking shoes, the Quest is what I reach for! They're the shoe ya wanna marry, ya know? Loyal, steadfast, full of adventure for the long haul. Love love love.

I'm an avid hiker, backpacker and I volunteer with search and rescue and I love these boots. I've never had to break these shoes in. The waterproofing is excellent. I've spent hours crawling around damp forests while raining and my toes are dry. And that's even after the leather was scored by blackberry bushes. I love how the lace hooks are designed, I have very high arches and I can keep the laces over my instep loose while keeping my ankles tighter and more stable. Excellent traction. Generally the insoles are better and have better arch support than other boots, but because mine are so high I buy new insoles. Finally, nice roomy toe bed, never had an issue with my toes bumping when going downhill. Will absolutely buy again when I wear these ones out.

These hiking boots are amazing. They are comfortable, supportive and rugged. The treads make scrambled ng over rocks a breeze.

I really appreciate the support both for ankle and foot. Heel help with lower back support

Bought for Christmas, Excellent boots, robust and comfy as well as stable

I have a slightly wider forefoot that average and struggle with buying quality boots that are up to the job of serious hiking. Look no further, early days of ownership but these are very comfortable. However, I did have to go down a half size from my other footwear.

Very pleased with fit and quality. Comfortable wearing all day.

These are the only boots I buy for hiking. Held off for years because of the cost, but had at least one foot or ankle injury every year with less expensive boots. Almost everyone I hike with wears Solomon boots because of the gripping soles and ankle support.

I have narrow feet for a guy (men's 7 C width) so it feels nearly impossible to find hiking boots that fit well. The Salomon Quest 4 GTX boots in a women's 7.5 (European 39 1/3) are a perfect fit for me! Beyond fit, these boots are nearly perfect. Waterproof, comfortable, good traction under wet/muddy/icy conditions, lightweight and comfortable. Good cushion under the foot to absorb the shock...especially on long hikes under a ruck. The only drawback of these boots is also a positive; the sole is soft enough to give good traction on wet rocks but this means they wear down after a year of use. I need to buy a new pair every year. Bonus thought: Thank you Salomon for making these boots in ladies sizes that fit, BUT ALSO is neutral colours like grey, so a guy like me doesn't have to go hiking in pretty boots! :)

I bought these a month ago before I moved out to Oregon, I have had other brands, but really wanted something with higher support. These have been perfect. I can't recommend them fast enough.

Cool boots, all my friends who are familiar with hiking, everyone has these boots, though men. The women's ones are a little different for me. That's why they are female. I want to buy myself the same shoes again and again. Thank you for such cool boots!

I've been buying these for 7 years and although the model has changed a little since the first pair I bought, these boots are the best fitting boots I've ever owned. I have super wide feet, and nothing else compares. The water proofing doesn't seem to last too long, but overall, the support and fit have been perfect for me.

I love th that there is a walking boot for women that is both stylish and practical. The laces are secure, they are waterproof. I walk between 5 and 10k everyday in them and I haven't felt any discomfort.

From the time I finally put them on the trail, I found the following: 1. Foot comfort is perfect, and the shoe offers support and cushioning at a high level 2. Traction is solid, and this aids in climbing steep or hills in wet conditions I love the Shock-absorbing capacity.

This is my 3rd pair of boots like these and my favourite part of them is the lace lock at the ankle, they hold your foot firmly in place when up and down hills - Salomon please do not do away with this feature

They need a bit of breaking in but I'm appreciating the stiffer shank, less girlie colours and new materials. I bought my first pair in 2005! They've lasted that long!

I purchased these boots over 2 months ago to use as my winter walking boots. These have become my daily go to when I go almost everywhere. The width is perfect for me and almost feels like walking barefoot. The sole has enough give that it doesn't feel overly stiff and perfect for daily wear. They are warm even in temps of -20F and provide great support when using my snowshoes. I'm contemplating buying another pair before this model is gone.

I purchased the boots as a gift for my granddaughter. When I last spoke with her, she hadn't worn them because of our inclement weather. But I can say that she was DELIGHTED when she opened the box!! I don't believe she thought she would actually receive them, inspite of her earlier pleas for them.

Love these! They fit perfect and as far as hiking boots are concerned they aren't as heavy and clunky as other hiking boots. Hiked in mud and snow and stayed dry, good traction, and easy to wash off. Didn't stain like some other shoes. Used on a few hikes but can't wait to use backpacking!
