These versatile boots offer trustworthy traction, top-notch cushioning, and the widest toe box of any boots we tested. They’re best suited for longer treks with heavier packs but can be worn comfortably on hikes of any length.

OutdoorGearLab

The Salomon Quest 4 Gore-Tex is the real deal, and we consider it to be the epitome of what a hiking boot should be. In this total package, you are treated with cushioned comfort, excellent stability, and some of the best waterproof credentials in the business. This boot is for hikers who want to do long and demanding backpacking trips in difficult terrain, carrying a heavier pack. With the tallest ankle cuff height of any boot in our review and an innovative support structure, we feel these are the most stable backpacking boots out there, and the height also gives them an advantage in water resistance. 
We wholeheartedly recommend this boot as the best overall option if you want the ultimate in performance. It excels on long hikes thanks to a customizable fit that adapts to the shape of your foot, it has the support you need when carrying an overnight backpacking kit, and its traction ensures that you won't be caught slipping. It weighs more than many in this review, though that weight is worth such a performance upgrade, in our opinion. The only aspect where this boot doesn't excel is with dumping heat and excess perspiration on hikes in hot and arid climates. We have been thoroughly impressed with previous iterations of this boot, and we can confidently say that Salomon has once again created a world-class hiker in the Quest 4 Gore-Tex.

 So far only five ratings, five stars. Not gonna see a lot of those for a while, but I'm telling you these boots gonna explode because their previous version was extremely, extremely popular. So, let's see if this is an upgrade. Now, as most of you already know, this review is not just a regular boot review

 You wouldn't really run in those in pretty much any kind of normal wearing situation, but that allows me to have a very, very unbiased, very balanced conclusion for everything that I review on this channel whenever it comes to the comfort, to the traction and a lot of other things. So let's talk about this boot in particular. I grew up in a desert, so I'm not used to cold at all, but now I live in Florida, so yeah. But let me know, guys, if you had experience testing them in some really, really cold temperatures, let me know

 Again, non-stop right after the run and then I continue wearing the boots or shoes for the rest of the day so that the total wear time is about eight hours. Now, I know some of the things that I run in, some of the boots like work boots, it doesn't really make a lot of sense. You wouldn't really run in those in pretty much any kind of normal wearing situation, but that allows me to have a very, very unbiased, very balanced conclusion for everything that I review on this channel whenever it comes to the comfort, to the traction and a lot of other things. So let's talk about this boot in particular

 I would say they're a little bit on the heavier side, but overall, I think that's definitely worth a compromise, a sacrifice whenever it comes to getting all of the protection that you're getting in this boots, all of the features. But you guys, let me know in the comments below what you think. And the very last criterion here is the criterion number eight, the price. Currently around $220 on Amazon

Best Hiking Boots of 2022 - GearLab

60 or something like that, I can't remember, yeah it must have been like £12.60 and because of that, so I got two pairs for £12.60, the actual socks are these ones, they're not particularly like thick, I don't know if you can really see that, they're not particularly thick but they are really, really comfortable and I've not had, oh well, I say I've not had, I have had some itching, just a little tiny bit, particularly in my toe area whenever I wear these and a little bit around here, I can feel it now, just ever so slightly uncomfortable but when I've been wearing these, I've not had any problem with sweaty feet or anything and I'm such a sweaty person, it's gross, so I've not had any problems with that and you feel like these boots should be really, really warm because they feel like they're coated, it feels like they're fleece coated inside but actually, they don't, their feet get warm, I've never experienced it before because I normally get sweaty and my feet are just wet with sweat, which is bleh, but I've not had that with these, they've stayed dry even though they felt warm and I am just, maybe you can tell, I'm so happy with these boots, it's the best pair I've ever had so I would highly recommend them and if you can get them at that price as well, we go outdoors, again, I'll sell you the website, it was a sale so they may not still have the sale on but have a look, do the little price guarantee thing and it's highly worth it if you can, so yeah, definitely recommend these boots.

 I've got a long hike coming up and that's why I've got these. I normally spend 35, 50 quid on a cheap pair from, I don't know, Go Outdoors, is it HiGear or HiTech or something like that? But these are just so so good. So these cost, in Go Outdoors, if you don't have a distant card, they cost £180. If you pay £5 a year to get prices that they should be charged at then it's £162 and what I did was I found them cheaper online

 I've got nothing bad to say about them yet. All I could say is that when they're new they are fairly tight, tightly fitted and they're fairly stiff so definitely take them for a walk before you do any long hikes. I've got a long hike coming up and that's why I've got these. I normally spend 35, 50 quid on a cheap pair from, I don't know, Go Outdoors, is it HiGear or HiTech or something like that? But these are just so so good

 If you look at Google shopping ads, you know when you do a product search and at the top you've got sponsored ads and it's a picture with the price and the link, right? Even though they're paid for ads, if you click on them, it's a really good way to find quickly if there's a cheaper product somewhere else and that's what I did. I can't remember the name of the company, I'll have to put it up on the screen, but I found it, they were in sale for £127 and Go Outdoors do a lowest price guarantee so if you find the same product and it has to be the same product in the same colour, in the same size and you have to prove that it's in stock, then they match the price but they also give you 10% off of that as well. So I got these for £115 which maybe I'm just proud of myself but I think that's a fantastic price because they're the most expensive ones that they do for Salomon, they are fairly new, the guy was telling me, and they are just incredibly comfortable. Another positive to think about is when your feet, your toes touch this bit, you know in Die Hard where at the beginning the guy on the plane says you just make balls with your feet on the carpet, probably age myself there, but if you do the opposite and stretch your toes out you can feel almost like memory foam in the actual lining, so in this little bit all the way up here, it's just like walking as one of my friends would say, she would say it's just like walking through clouds, it really is just like you've got nothing on your feet and normally when I go walking with the cheaper ones you can feel it rubbing

SALOMON Quest 4 4D Gore-Tex Walking Boots - Review

 I have had both the previous versions of these and I have loved them, however I use them for completely different things. So I want to talk about what I use these boots for, a couple of the features that are different between them, but they are very similar, and then I want you guys to make the call on which one is going to be best, because again that is subjective. So off the bat, $165 for the Ultra, $230 for the Quest. So right there, there's, you know, bullet point number one is going to be price

 So off the bat, $165 for the Ultra, $230 for the Quest. So right there, there's, you know, bullet point number one is going to be price. So they are both waterproof, you're looking for waterproof boots, you're definitely in the right place, I've never had any issue with the Gore-Tex waterproof in these boots. And I'm going to tell you guys what I use this for, what I'm going to use this boot for

New Salomon QUEST 4 GTX Or Salomon X ULTRA 4 MID GTX - Which Is Better?? (2021 Updates)

 After my dividend, these were around 165 bucks with the 20% annual coupon applied. You can't beat that for these type of boots.

 Could not ask for more there. I love the treads on these, and the overall design aesthetic is definitely a step up.

What I CAN say about these new ones is that they have been redesigned and are now much more fit for hiking. The toe box is nearly perfect compared to the horrible box in my original pair from 8 years back. The sole has been completely redesigned with a ton of computer data, and it shows, as they are more grippy and resemble soft spikes more than the older soles. The beefier cut also helps prevent water flow in certain areas

Top of the line even if they have some issues.

 MUCH taller.  That's great news for those who couldn't wear this model before and had to go with the traditionally roomier boots, like Keen, but not good for those like myself who appreciated a boot that their foot wouldn't get lost in.  I have no doubt that this would be a great boot for the new customers that Salomon will gain, but it's VERY MUCH not for some of those of us who favored this model in the past.  And, BTW, it's also about 1/2 a size longer

Big change from prior Quest 4Ds: Absolutely not for "low volume feet" -- (feet that are skinny)

 Most boots are advertised as waterproof but then you often see boots that come with these flash points around the laces and the tongue. Fortunately with these they've got this tough cordura like fabric that extends the gore-tex right around the foot, continues it from the upper right through the tongue basically wrapping your entire foot completely shielding it from water. The high ankle obviously helps there as well it's definitely serving me well out here in this Pembrokeshire bog land. As for durability it's a little bit too early for me to give a verdict on that

 Funnily enough this place is actually on the news last week because a discovery was made that suggests that the stones, the Stonehenge, once actually stood in some kind of formation in these hills here. So Stonehenge is Welsh. Anyway we're here to talk about boots not Neolithic burial grounds so let's get cracking. So I've got the latest version of the Salomon quest with me here it's called the quest for Gore-Tex it's just been released for spring 2021

 Anyway we're here to talk about boots not Neolithic burial grounds so let's get cracking. So I've got the latest version of the Salomon quest with me here it's called the quest for Gore-Tex it's just been released for spring 2021. Now as a kind of like top line on these what I'd say stands out most about them is their weight at 655 grams per boot. They're not ultralight they're far from ultralight but I can think of much much heavier boots out there that offer far far less if that makes sense

Salomon Quest 4 GTX Walking Boots | Deep Dive - Outdoors Magic

Salomon Men's X ULTRA 4 MID GTX, Green Gables/Black/Cumin, 14

The Salomon X Ultra Mid 4 Gore-Tex is one of the lightest hiking boots we have worn. These boots keep the same mid-ankle support that we expect for off-trail travel and excursions with heavy packs while shaving nearly a half-pound from the previous model &mdash; through some kind of black magic, we can only assume. These boots use the same ADV-C Chassis and ActiveSupport technologies as the low-top shoe version of this model, and we find that the support they offer is exceptional, wrapping securely around the foot to create a stable platform that resists rolling. They are waterproof thanks to the Gore-Tex liner, making them perfectly suited for nearly all terrain types and environments.
Think of this boot as a bridge between the lightweight world of trail runners and hiking shoes and the heavy-duty traditional hiking boots. They are at the lightweight end of the boot spectrum, retaining some of the added stability and support that this category is known for, while cutting huge amounts of weight and remaining as flexible and agile as a running shoe. The sole might be thinner than some folks will want in uneven terrain, but that is a trade-off we are fine with on lightweight hikes. These are going to be best for the hiker who really wants the weight savings of the shoe but still needs the support of a boot.

 But what you haven't done is got macerated skin and then leading on to blisters, which you would get wearing like normal cotton socks or something that can't wick. The moisture away can't move it away from the surface of the skin. It also lofts in the right places and compresses in the right places so that it will give you a nicer, fit and much more comfortable and, of course, the other thing it does is give you cushioning. That'S really really important, because you're not necessarily going to get that from the or enough of that from the boot, and that's why you've got padded zones within good quality socks as well

I'M tom from cotswold outdoor harrogate and today, i'd like to talk about the salomon men's x-ultra iv mid gore-tex, the x-ultra 4 mid gore-tex has been fully updated and revised in its latest iteration, with an updated contact, grip outsole as well as the active support, fit lacing System the x ultra mid is a really comfortable shoe and for those wet days it still has the gore-tex membrane to keep your feet dry. One of the best features about the x ultra 4 mid gore-tex. It comes in a wide fit as well as a regular. It would be, it would be more professional if i could have like had it float up like like keep my core engaged and just be like the men's ex-ultra mid

 It'S about how you treat it and something like that, something that's got mesh which you wear it on a honking day. It'S not the water, that's going to kill it! It'S all the dirt particles that get washed in with it, because then those dirt particles grate against the gorgeous membrane and then that wears a hole in it. And it's no longer waterproof and that's why you need to really look after lightweight models. And i say: look after in terms of using the knick wax fabric like cleaning gel in terms of using

Salomon X Ultra 4 Mid GTX Hiking Boot Expert Review - Men’s [2021]

 So you don't get that, like that pressure point that you sometimes get from high boots into the back of your achilles uh yeah. It just sits, really snug and really really looks after your feet. So this is the gore-tex version, which means that all of this beautiful synthetic upper and construction is then backed up by a gore-tex membrane. So the gore-tex membrane is um fully fully waterproof

 Now the footbed that is inside the x ultra 4. Is this little ortholite footbed. So what it does is, you can see the shaping, we'll do a bit of a close-up as well, but this matches the contour of your foot and so that just provides a lovely bit of cushioning directly underneath your foot. It'S also really breathable and again just helps to move moisture away from your feet

 So what it does is, you can see the shaping, we'll do a bit of a close-up as well, but this matches the contour of your foot and so that just provides a lovely bit of cushioning directly underneath your foot. It'S also really breathable and again just helps to move moisture away from your feet. So then, the layer that is underneath that footbed, so the midsole is an energy cell, eva foam, midsole. Now, basically, what that does is that just provides a bit more cushioning and shock absorption um

 So you can see these little mobile wings here now. This is their active support, so what it basically does is it adjusts to the volume in the shoe um and you get this sort of diagonal support through the boot itself. So when you do your laces up nice and tight, it pulls your heel right into the back of the boot and then the really snug and comfortable fit around the cuff ensures that you get as little movement as possible, which means that you don't get any blisters In the back, which is really important, so the cuff itself, then, is a little bit padded um. But as i found yesterday, it was so so comfortable

Inside Look: Salomon X Ultra 4 Mid GTX

I used the Salomon size guide and it told me to get a 12 (wide), and it is too narrow. for your reference I wear 12 (4E) running shoes. other than that it is made very nicely. but it's a no for me

not wide at all

 I'd rather have heavier shoes that protected my feet. Good for short hikes on smooth tracks only.

These fit me well. However their claim of "Cushion: regular" should be minimal/light. Foot protection as well. I'm not sure if the pursuit of weight savings have left these shoes with sever limitations or what? Even walking on tar I can feel every contour of the road through my feet

Good for walking the mall?
