Salomon Quest Element Gore-Tex Men's Outdoor Shoes, Waterproof, All-terrain stability, and Outdoor essentials

I bought these as replacements for my worn Salomon Prime Quest boots. (A shame they don't still make them.) As with the Prime boots, these only required a couple of days breaking in with some short walks. (The top of the boots required the breaking in.) The boots fit well, are comfortable and generally grip well. They work well on wet grassy slopes, and dry rocks. The Primes did not work well on wet rocks, and I have yet to try these on those. I have found no waterproofing issues with the boots. Update: Just bought my second pair of these. The first pair were worn every day on walks for the past 2 years. Unfortunately both boots split a bit at the front. Super-glue may have fixed it, but the heels were wearing too, so I bought a new pair. I think the boots did very well - as said they were worn every day. I have found no problem with these boots on wet rocks (mentioned above in the initial review).

Perfect for mountain walking. Tried them on pen y fan for about 5 hours, no discomfort at all.

I love them. Not a single blister, I ran in them and still no blisters, having only warn them once! They are the best outdoor boot I ever bought, by miles. Good fit, comfortable, light, tough every thing you need. The added support they give you when, pushing up of through your foot, pretty dammed good.

Bought for my partner just over 2 months ago and have already ripped. Worn 2 or 3 times. Very poor quality.

These boots feel narrow on my feet compared to others I have worn, I like the tightness since I have a problem with a protruding ankle bone that needs supported. Have similar soles on other Solomon shoes and I know they do not last long compared to others, but grip well whilst they still have tread. Wore then in the house for a couple of days before going out on the trails with them, they did not hurt my feet breaking them in. Have ordered another pair since I reckon after 200-300 miles of trail walking they will be worn out trail wise, yet I so like the lightness and waterproof levels of these boots. My sore ankle does not bother me much and certainly never worsens whilst I wear these.

Excellent second pair comfortably on last pair 6.7 years wear Pentland Hills weakly west highland way three peaks John muir way average 12.16 miles a average

Waited for a summer and winter before reviewing. These are excellent boots. Really well made and actually have coped with the rugged use. My only complaint is they aren’t available in black. Great boots, totally recommend them.

Amazing quality of boots! A little toe heavy so if you’re not used to wearing a heavy boot I’d bare that in mind, other than that it has great support and surprisingly good waterproof capabilities!

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

Very nice pair of shoes

Eşim için almıştım, çok beğenerek giyiyor. Goretex olduğu için kar ve su geçirmiyor, üstelik fırsat sırasında aldığım için uyguna geldi, ömürlük bot diyebilirim.

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.
