Salomon Men’s Quest Element Gore-Tex, Waterproof Neutral Leather Hiking Boots

Best hiking boots I've ever bought, super comfortable, just starting to show some age after a few years of daily of daily use still water proof and still have great traction while being relatively light weight I'll definitely be getting salomons again

These boots are worth every penny. The ankle support is perfect and adjustable, the waterproofing works well even with the bottom half of the boot submerged. They have held up extermely with the first 50 or so miles I have put on them in the Wind River range of Wyoming. Fit is true to size, with the foot held securely in the boot, and the boot holding securely on even riverbeds. Would recommend without reservation! Well done Salomon!

These are well built, durable and comfortable.

I've had these for over a month now. These are worn daily at work as an arborist. They still look new. I can't attest to tge waterproof aspect yet,but gore tex should be good. I'll probably get another pair to replace these as I like them alot. Great traction on hilly terrain. They also are sort of hard on the sides which helps protect from jagged rocks on branches while walking. They're also very light,so they don't weigh you down. I definitely recommend these.

They fit true to size, and seem durable. I haven't had a chance to put them through the ringer yet but have done lots of standing for hours in them and some walking. I have flat feet and they didn't hurt *too* bad after. Tread and grip seem to be pretty decent on uneven and loose terrain. The ankle support style they have going is odd, they grip your ankles pretty firmly. I'm assuming over time it kind of stretches or loosens, but for now it is a bit uncomfortable. Breathability seems ok. I'm in Arizona but got these just as the triple digit weather ended, but I haven't felt like my feet were swimming. However the goretex is obvious as my feet were noticeably warm. Tldr, grippy, kinda warm, ankle support is incredibly smug, objectively breathable, also kind of funny color combo

So, earlier this year I purchased some Salomon shoes (Speedcross 5s) and wow, were they comfortable. So I decided to take a chance on their hiking boots for more serious hikes, and I ordered these in the same size that fit in the Speedcrosses. You never know how things are going to fit until you try them on, so it was a bit of a chance. These being serious hiking boots, I needed them to have extra room in the toe area to accommodate thicker socks--and that area of the boot was indeed larger in the same size. More importantly, I could actually put on some incredibly thick socks and the lacing system would let the boot expand to fit them perfectly. In a word--could not be happier with the fit. I also really feel the ankle support up and down the boot, and if you're the kind of stumbling klutz I am after 6 hours on the trail, this is greatly appreciated. Solid ankle support has saved me multiple times from tears and sprains that I could ill afford on long hikes. Durability--I can't tell yet. Will update in a year or so if I remember. So yes, 5 stars, and they look good too!

I've been wearing Salomon boots for several years. But I don't like these boots for multiple reasons. First off. They leak.....which sucks when your walking in central Africa, and feet in your boots really really sucks..... There is a strange plastic cup for the heal, that goes over your ankle. When Im going down something steep, the plastic jambs into the side of my ankle, which doesn't hurt......for the first 30 times, then it starts to really hurt. The 90° lace holders, which transition between the top of your foot, and going up your ankle. Are legitimately a pain to get the kaces out of. It's ripping the laces up, and only a matter of time before they snap. You know what else is hard to get, in a really rural area of central Africa...... Yup.... Boot laces...... Ha inf these boots for two months, I shouldn't have the chunks ripped out of the soles like I do.... They just aren't very durable. My other Salomon boots just keep kicking, but these...... I dunno..... Theyre just failing for me in multiple ways. I gotta say, the stitching is holding well, and there's no obvious peeling of the soles from the boot. It the fact that BOTH boots are letting water in. Is really disappointing. I was just scooping some water out of a stream as well, was only in the water for a few moments. With it being both boots. It's less of an accident in my opinion, and more of a construction failure.

Love these boots. The sizing was spot on and they provide incredible ankle support. My weak link are my ankles and these boots have been perfect for them. They are lightweight, stay tied tight and keep my feet from burning up with blisters. I have worn these for treestand hunts here in Illinois as well as elk hunts in colorado with zero discomfort.

If you are hiker , adventurous, go straight and have it , amazing

Very nice pair of shoes

the shoes need break-in time and also the traction is overall good but not as good as any Vibram sole.

These boots felt comfortable right out of the box, I hike with my dog in the forest almost every morning in Northern Ontario and they have held up great, no seam splitting or rubber delaminating. Great tread, ankle support and so far are water resistant (2 months old) There is a trick when unlacing them; the middle metal guide holds the laces as tight as you want but won’t let go, you have to pull them down to stretch it and then they come out perfectly. I have bought a lot of hiking boots in my 65 years these are about the best.

Super Wanderschuhe! Sehr bequem, angenehm leicht und sitzen von Anfang an perfekt. Ideal für lange Touren – würde ich sofort wieder kaufen.
