Quest 4 GTX boots deliver waterproof support and rugged comfort for loaded treks

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"When I’m hauling weight through wet, uneven ground, Quest 4 GTX is the pair I reach for. The chassis keeps my ankles locked in without feeling stiff, and the grip is confidence-inspiring on slick descents. They’re ready for big miles and real weather."


We rely on the Salomon Quest 4 GTX Backpacking Boot when the trail runs long, the pack runs heavy, and the weather looks questionable. The supportive 4D Chassis guides each step with stability, keeping ankles steady on root webs and loose talus, while the EnergyCell midsole smooths the impact of loaded mileage. A waterproof GORE-TEX membrane seals out storms and soggy trails without cooking our feet, and nubuck leather uppers pair toughness with breathable mesh for all-day wear. Underfoot, Contragrip rubber locks into climbs, downhills, and wet rock so we can move with confidence no matter the terrain.

Great all-arounder

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

Bought a pair for my wife and I, no issues to report at all. Very comfortable throughout our hike. We didn't note any "hot spots" or discomfort. We didn't cross any streams, but I'm sure the boots will do their job. They seem to be a bit on the heavier end, but something has to give. The boots are pretty sturdy and robust.

Durable and comfortable

I have owned a pair of these going on ten years. There is no better all around boot for work/hiking that you will find!

Great backpacking/work boot

I was looking for a versatile/durable/light waterproof boot for backpacking and work (HVAC). these boots definitely hit the checkmark for what I was looking for. Ive had these boots for about 6 months and they have been putting in the work. great waterproofness and extremely comfortable.

Great boots

3rd pair in this line up the Quest 4 Gore-tex are great boots, comfortable, sturdy and good enough for almost all types of walks. I use these mostly for Munro bagging in Scotland with the odd low level walk. I am a 9.5 in normal footwear but buy a 10 in these to give my toes a bit of space, I also have wide feet and have found the fit on these to be fantastic for me, the high ankle and the lacing always gives the support I need and I have never had an issue

This is my second pair, the first was about 10 years ago and I loved it. This one has less cushioning and has quality issues. Stitching in the back is coming undone after two wears
