Salomon Quest 4D GTX boots

Salomon are no newcomers to the performance footwear market, in fact they’ve been making mountain and snow sports boots since 1947! They’ve always been about development, quality, craftsmanship and performance and their latest models show every bit of their undoubted class.

Details and specifications, apart from colour, are pretty much identical for the civilian and newly released Forces version of the Quest. The seam-sealed Gore-Tex membrane bootie gives your feet plenty of protection from water, mud, and snow. You can literally stand in a puddle for hours and not worry about your feet getting wet and soggy. You can also walk about on snowy roads and not worry about your feet freezing off. And because of the way the Gore-Tex functions, these boots are very breathable so your feet don’t over heat.

These boots have amazing traction. The outsoles are Salomons’ own Contagrip, which provides some serious traction on pretty much any wet or dry surface. And you don’t have to worry about scuffing up any floors, because the outsoles are non-marking.

The overall quality and use of the materials used on these boots is incredibly high. Rubber, leather, Gore-Tex, nylon; these boots use materials that have proven time and again how capable they are in the harsh environment. You’ll easily get a few years or so out of these boots before you have to even think about replacing them.

Mean Feet

I’ve had numerous Salomon boots and running shoes over the years and none of them have ever let me down. They’ve always given great service and lasted well. This extra-light boot gains stability and comfort from Salomon’s most advanced trail running technologies. The fullheight ankle combined with their 4D Advanced Chassis technology offer great support and stability. The Quest has a full waterproof breathable Gore-Tex Performance Comfort Footwear bootie, split suede leather upper and protective rubber toe and heel caps for weather protection and outstanding durability.

The Quest 4D GTX will be available soon from most good tactical retailers. The Forces version is available in Black and Navajo (tan) and at the time of writing a firm UK price is awaited, although other models are already available from www.hueys.co.uk.
