Quest Element GTX Hiking Boot - Men's

New boots!

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

My feet apparently have gotten larger and my Scarpas are now too short. My new Salamon Quest Elements are lighter, supportive and with plenty of width in the toes. The soles give good traction and protection.

I love these.

I take very good care of my Quests, have put close to 1000kms on these babies. Those soles have held up well but are now almost worn flat. My only complaint is that they're not quite wide enough for my feet. Can these be re-soled?

Reliable boots in the thick of winter

These are marketed as a hiking boot, but I use them as winter boots. My climate ranges from extremely slushy to icy in a matter of hours, and these boots provide the stability and grip that I need for my 5km daily commute. A little bit of a hassle to put on and take off compared to my blundstones, but the trade off in terms of quality is well worth it.

Best Salomon boot for work

Ive been wearing the Salomon Ultra Treks but for unknown reasons they are not sold in the U.S anymore or for the time being. The Elements are a great second options. They are very light compared to the Forces options and comfortable while providing awesome stability and ankle protection. I ordered the black/olive color and they look great. Wish they had a black on black options but not a big deal. Hiking around on these boots as my daily work boot really saves my feet from fatigue and wear. When i have to run in them they are light enough to not affect my speed or stride. I in my early 40's and had knee surgery a couple years ago so the cushion on these elements are perfect relief from the shock cause slips, running, hops down a mountain. I have recommended these to various coworkers and they love them too. At the end of a long work day the comfort makes a difference and alleviates fatigue compared to other name brands such as Lowas. Merrell srongfileds are okay but they are heavy like brinks. My work terrain is so harsh that these boots usually last me from 6-8 months before the break down. Breakdown areas for me are always on the inside of the boot towards the rear. The stitching comes apart and the elements start making its way in. But overall, best boot I have. Along with the Ultra Trek amd boot the Quest prime which i believe these elements are an update to as well as various Forces from mids tops to the very expensive models. I think ill stick to these until the X- Ultra trek comes back. Those are awesome and although high tops they feel like running shoes. True to size I would say. I always go 1/2 size bigger because I double up socks. I get blisters from so much hiking and running.

Replacing a pair of Solomon quest bought these about a month ago happy so far they are wet almost daily. No leaks so far fairly comfortable. I would give them at least a day or 10 mile break in. Before I did a serious hike in them.

Very robust and of good quality.

I think it is a very durable product and at the same time the waterproofness is a plus.

Nice boots

Great build quality and the gore tex works. Pretty wide forefoot in the standard size, great laces.

Quest Element

Love the boot. Great ankle support and plenty of room for a wide foot. Just wish they included an extra pair of laces. The boots will far outlast the strings!

Super comfortable

Baught them for my husband, really comfortable for him, especially considering his feet are comparatively wide, and his pinky finger usually struggles in shoes. Waterproof feature has been great too: he works outside.
