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

Comfortable and attractive boots. They feel good enough to wear all day on the job right out-of-the-box!

Most comfortable boot and has ultimate ankle support. I’ve never had a boot fit like these do. I highly recommend these for beginners hiking or experts they’re the best you can get.

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.

Lightweight and comfortable. Durable and water resistant. Excellent quality for the money spent on them. Helpful to keep your grip on uneven surfaces. I have messed up feet and these are great boots.

I do some really rugged trekking and work in hilly bushy land. Sometimes wet, muddy and slippery ON CLAY! Yuck clay. Yuck 15lbs of mud on each boot. Slow, In the rain. Dark. Holding stuff, going nowhere fast. Yuck clay.Anyway, Quality top notch! My bush resilience is partly based on the toughness of this boot. I’m fairly remote and can’t take careless chances. Using heavy brush cutters and chainsaws on steep slopes for hours is serious work - it requires your full attention - the ankle support is absolutely essential. The trakky grip sole is essential. The added bonus of being lightweight is essential. I can’t say enough how much I value this piece of footwear. Sometimes I’m like a Sherpa, carrying anywhere between 30 and 70lbs on shoulder, up and down hills. I will never work without it - galoshes? Wellies, neoprene, rubber boots, whatever they’re called are for flat land, washing a car or something like that.These are the boots that can get you in and out of anything - with or without load. It’s a vital piece of survival/work gear. If I don’t have these to get into the action… nah, will just stay home! bought a second pair kinda for dry weather. The waterproof didn’t really hold up somehow by 3rd year of use. Dammit they’re good!

I saw it had good reviews and a long life. Thought I would try them. They were delivered swiftly and without incident. I tried them on and instantly new this wasn't going well. Left foot felt fine, but my right foot had pain. It felt like something hard was being pushed against my inner ankle. I've worn them for just under 10 hrs, and the pain gets worse. It's weird with only one foot getting the pain. I will say the act of walking in them was nice. They also have plenty of foot room. I did like a lot of the shoes, but because of how much my ankle hurts, I can't say I will keep trying to wear these. I'm giving it a 1 star review because shoes shouldn't hurt your feet no matter how well built they are. If it wasn't for the pain, this would be a five star review. Now I will have to wait longer to replace my shoes again. Definitely recommend trying before purchasing.

I gave these boots five stars in spite of my criticism for their durability, because I'm not sure if any other boot would last this long. For context, I do boxing exercise in the morning, am on my feet all day for my job, frequently run five miles at the park, and also exercise at night. I have been wearing only these shoes for all of these activities. They also get soaked with sweat so every morning and night I have to use a boot dryer. I initially started using hiking boots for all my exercise, including running, because my coach said it would help relieve my knee pain, which it did. Unfortunately I am beating the absolutely crap out of these shoes, and after writing all this down, realize that it's a miracle they survived this long! 😂Also you can see where I used waxed thread for sewing leather to repair where the shoes have started coming apart. Same on the other boot. Also, worth noting I had this happen on my previous pair of Salomon boots that I used when I was at the Postal Service where I walked around all day (but didn't run or do exercise in them). That pair lasted significantly longer but ended up tearing in the exact same spots. However, the soles of the current pair still have a lot of life in them which is why I've repaired them.

I'm 43. been backpacking through all kinds of climate. Just got back from Dolly Sods with 0 degree weather and -12 windchill. river crossings, snow, the works. this is the only time my feet have never hurt and stayed warm and dry. I sized up half a size for my paka socks and broke them in on the trail. GREAT boots. 10/10.get them. so comfortable and light too.
