Are you looking for boots to do all varieties of hiking? Well, our feet should always be very comfortable and relaxed, so having a good pair of hiking boots would help that. The Salomon Quest are mid-weight, comfortable, high performance hiking boots. They remain flexible during hikes but at the same time protect your feet and ankles from the rough elements on the mountains. There is great stability and support throughout the boots and has good ankle collar cup keeps your feet in one place. The contagrip sole provides excellent traction on a range of surfaces and the GORE-TEX Liner keeps your feet dry in any condition and boots are breathable so no sweaty or smelly feet any more! Most other hiking boots I tested were stiff and heavy! One of the best things I love about Salomon Quest boots is that there was no waiting for them to wear in!!! I just put them on and hit the hills! The boots feel very light, I had many comfortable long and short hikes on different terrains such as mountains, fire roads etc. I also did some jumping from rock to rock, a little bit of running and I felt confident moving fast over muddy trails. Salomon boots saved my foot while I was training with Mountain Rescue. We had to carry a stretcher down over rough grounds. Accidentally the heavy stretcher landed on my foot! Thanks to the great protection and support, the boot saved my foot from braking. Good points: 1: The lacing system is great. The eyelets on the boots allow you to have a snug fit from your toes to ankles. 2: The toe box is nicely wide and allows your wee toes to have freedom while the outer rubber toecap gives them protection. 3: Breathable and waterproof with fully GORE-TEX. Tip: Do regular applications of a waterproofing using treatment to keep the Gore-Tex waterproof! 4: The price! Bad points: 1: They take a while to dry outside when wet! But never let water in as fully GORE-TEX (But also my home isn’t the warmest) 2: The laces may open sometimes for example when the boots get soaked with water from river crossing. I’m 100% happy with the style and overall design of them boots and I give them 5 stars!! :) www.greatoutdoors.ie www.facebook.com/mudsweatandrunners |
AuthorAs most of you know I am very passionate about Mountain running and other outdoor sports like mountain biking, hiking, power kitting cycling etc. my love for running and sharing great trails with people lend me to starting group runs up and over time setting up M.S.R facebook page and website. my runs can be from 5 to 61km. am hoping to do longer distances in future. Our group runs are not just only great adventures but also happy times as you can see from the gallery photos. Archives
