No need to jimmy rig the lacing with the Quests. With the Salomons, that pinching was absent. This worked for the time being and I made do. Before this, I had become prone to a pinching feeling on my ankles with a few other boots and had to try and modify the lacing on them. That classic stiff leather boot feel, that I had come to know so well, was now history. It felt as if I was wearing, for lack of a better term, a beefy sneaker. On a scale of 1 to 10, they were a 10 in comfortability. The first time that I had ever tried on the Quests I was blown away by the comfort level. Now, that I’ve gotten to know this boot like I have, I think it’s time I give you all a review. I’ve put in about a year and a half of use on these and WELL over 300 miles of hiking. The research began and I landed on the Salomon Quest 4D 2 GTX backpacking boot. Taking care of our feet and having a good pair of boots is imperative and I was feeling that. Then when you do find that one, is it gonna be able to withstand the rigors of the mountains? Are they going to give you blisters after hiking 10 miles? Are they truly waterproof? Only time will tell that.Īfter trying a half dozen or so boots over the years and dealing with issues ranging from hot spots, faulty waterproofing, and literally walking the sole off of a boot, I was ready for a change. You might try on 10 pairs of boots before you find one that you like. The discussion of boots is a fickle one, but one that every hunter needs to have with themselves.
