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

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 boots are excellent quality and perfect for any occasion. They are comfortable, well made, and stylish enough to wear casually or dress up. The material feels durable and they fit true to size. I’ve worn them many times and they still look brand new. Highly recommend.

I love these boots. Sturdy and warm yet breathable. Great on the trail in any weather. Can't beat Gortex when you need it to be waterproof. My feet can breathe and they don't get stuffy or sweaty. Plus they look great!

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.

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.

These boots are well made and feel comfortable. They do run a bit narrow and the shank is designed to be stiff for handling sharp rocks and uneven ground.

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 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.
