Why We Like The Quest Element GTX Hiking Boot
With the featherweight construction of a running shoe and the rugged stabilization of a hiking boot, the Quest Element GTX gets us further faster. The taller shaft and leather build barrel through rock and brush, while the patented chassis technology keeps our ankles tracking as if we were sauntering along smooth, solid ground. Armored with an airy GORE-TEX membrane, this pair stops water and sweat from soaking our socks through as we cross creeks and huff up steeps.

Great boot for land surveying.
This is a great boot for my line of work. Great mobility and fit even for a bigger guy like myself.

The sole has cracked
Kind of dissapointed I had this pair for only one season and the sole is already cracked They are very comfortable, stable but not good on ice I explected them to last way longer considering the fact that they are kind of expensive Unfortunately, I can’t recommend them further because of the bad quality of the sole

Waterproofing non-existent.
Purchased these boots in advance a big trip in Nov 2023. They were comfortable out of the box and fit well, however, the waterproofing has not lived up to expectations. Even walking through wet grass, my feet got wet. During my trip, we had 4 days of rain and I could wring my socks out at the end of each day, definitely not what I expected from a Gore-Tex boot. I've worn other Salomon products and have been very happy, but these boots just did not live up to expectations.

Comfortable but lacking workmanship
I love Solomon boots. I have worn all types of cross trainers and boots for hiking especially purchasing ones with waterproofing. I have found that Solomon has decreased in quality of workmanship and waterproofing. Although I love these boots and bought in April 2023 (on sale) I just started wearing them in September of 2024. After each hike, I washed them (with just water) to make sure all dirt was off seams, dried with a towel. The front toe kick part , where the rubber is glued to the leather is already showing signs of breaking apart. This is really a disappointment as my previous Solomon would last for years! What is happening to this great shoe company? I will have to do a return on these awesome boots. I like the look and feel, they give great ankle support and are somewhat waterproof. Not totally waterproof as water is penetrating through their gore Tex liner. I would be careful about ordering this Boot if you expect high quality products .

Not my favorite
This is my 6th pair of Salomon fit and finish not as nice as any of my previous pairs. Always order size 11 and usually fit like a glove these are lose all around my foot and if you try to tighten with shoe laces they bunch up and look ill fitted . I should have sent back right away but gave them a week to see if they would feel better upon a break in period . they did not so pretty disappointed to say the least

New boots!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 10
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.
