    I bought these for my son who is currently walking across America with these boots. He is in Oregon heading east and loves that they are both lightweight and waterproof. He has over 200 miles on them and hopes to get many more.

      From out of the box to on the feet (no break-in) and 8 miles at 65 degrees F air temp with a 55lb load at 15min/mile pace over unimproved trail with multiple shallow water crossings - EXCELLENT BOOTS! No blisters, VERY comfortable, dry feet due to waterproofness of the boots as well as moisture wicking of foot perspiration. I've been backpacking with countless boots over many years and these are the best boots I've ever worn.

        Comments about Salomon Quest 4D GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:

        These are easily the best boots I've ever worn, and I've had many pairs in my life. They're comfortable, provide GREAT support and keep your feet and ankles protected and happy. I have wide feet and these have a roomy toe box; my toes have never felt pinched. I'm a little surprised by the criticisms of the lacing, which is actually one of the boots' real strengths. Once you get them locked in they stay that way till you take them off. They're expensive, yes, but this is one of those get-what-you-pay-for purchases. I've logged a lot of tough miles in mine and they show very little wear. I expect to have these a long time.

        Comments about Salomon Quest 4D GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:

        Was looking for a sturdy, waterproof hiking boot with ankle support for day hikes and occasional overnight trips. The Saloman Quest fits the bill. Have used it a dozen times in Colorado Front Range late season snow and Spring mud. Completely waterproof and good traction. Light weight and easy break-in.

        Runs large. I take a 9 1/2 shoe and the size 9 fits very comfortably.

          The best boots I have owned so far in 40 years.

            I bought these boots just before my hike in the Grand Canyon. I wore them to work 2 days for "break-in" and am not sure even that was needed. They were comfortable, no blisters or sore spots after 4 days in the canyon. They are a bit pricey, but at this point I think they will be worth it.

            Comments about Salomon Quest 4D GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:

            After a weekend of hiking with old, worn, hiking boots I decided to spring for these 4D GTX's. From the first time they were put on my foot they felt like "the ones." Excellent fit out of the box, and extremely light weight for a boot that is made for light and heavy loads. Superior comfort and grip when hiking on regular trail, scrambling quartzite rock, or traversing some root-ridden switch backs. The only issue I encountered were the laces came untied easily. The quick fix is to use a double knot, after which I had zero issues. Would buy this boot over and over again. Caveat - I haven't owned these long enough to comment on durability over time.

              I have had many different boots and these are by far the best I've ever had. Little to no break-in needed and were comfortable with plenty of support even with a 50lb. pack. I highly recommend these boots. Pricey but very well worth. You will definitely get your money's worth with these boots.

                I bought these shoes 4 days before I flew to Peru. I didn't even have a chance to break them in. Over the week, I hiked 50 miles up and down thousands of feet in altitude. I didn't get a single blister. These shoes were amazing. Completely waterproof (it was muddy and wet!)

                I would recommend these a million times over again. I will be buying Salomon shoes forever if they are all made this well.
