Wore rhese boots for about 5-8 miles a day in arches,canyonlands and capital reef national parks over 6 days. Very good grip on rock and traction on loose trails. Very solid boot from top to bottom. Minimal break in time. Highly recommend
I own a pair of Salomon’s for about 10 years now. They are my favorite day hiking boot. I’ve been looking to replace them as the souls are splitting. No complaints, just lots of miles. REI didn’t have what I was looking for until now! There was a minimal break in period and they are the most comfortable boots I have! They provide protection, support and are lightweight. They are high enough to prevent rocks, grasses and twigs from getting in your boots. I just hiked 8 miles with them and no discomfort to speak of. Thanks Salomon and REI.
I had three pairs of the quest 4. They were the best boots I've ever had. I was excited when salomon was coming out with these. I broke them in all day every day for two weeks. I went for a short hike in them today. These are the absolute worst boots I've ever had. I could feel every stone, pebble, twig, and grain of dirt under my feet. There is no cushion whatsoever. Also, they are what I'd describe as "floppy." There is no torsional or lateral stability. It was like hiking in flip flops. Really really poor. They are going back ASAP!
I have duck feet and these boots are perfectly comfortable. To compare, I had a pair of Danner wide boots. The Salomon Quest 5 are just as comfortable for my feet. Love ‘em for all the other reasons as well.
I am really happy with boots. Salomon were my ‘go to’ hiking boot for years until they put a plate of solid plastic up the side of the boot which I found very painful. Glad to see that has now gone. Good grip and comfortable from the first trip. The only negative so far is the laces. They are far too long and I prefer them a bit thicker.
Great ankle support and comfort on long hikes with a large pack. Great traction and grip. P.S. I have used these for years before writing this review. They are heavier but if support is what you are looking for, look no further.
Bought these boots a month ago. Very robust and seem well made. They do take some breaking in to allow them to shape your foot, so purchase well before any expedition or long treks.
