FIELD USE
=C2=A0
I mostly h=
ike up ... up ... up ... down ... down ... down ... and wet=C2=A0 ... wet .=
.. wet.=C2=A0 I have had enough purple toenails, heel blisters, and cold so=
ggy feet from ill-fitting boots to last a lifetime.=C2=A0 I wear my old boo=
ts when going to try on new boots.=C2=A0 I need a comparison.=C2=A0 I judge=
one foot with the new boot and one with the old while I walk up and down t=
he little fake boulder on display at the shoe store.=C2=A0 Back and forth, =
up and down, down and up, backward and forward; boot after boot after boot =
until I find the perfect fit.=C2=A0 When trying on boots and hiking, I wear=
a single layer mid-weight wicking sock.The boots have been worn on hikes a=
s short as 3 miles (5 km) and as long as 14 miles (23 km), all in Colorado =
in mountainous terrain between 8500' (2600 m) and 13,500' (4100 m).=C2=A0 T=
he boots have been worn in all four seasons and in varying temperatures fro=
m sunny 75 F (24 C) days to frigid 10 F (-12 C) days.=C2=A0 A typical day w=
earing the boots is an off-trail hike.=C2=A0 I usually start on a gravel or=
dirt trail, but soon cut off into a drainage to reach a hidden lake or vis=
ta.=C2=A0 The terrain in the drainages is very uneven consisting of grass, =
talus, fallen trees, rocks, scree, boulders, marsh, and creeks. Being that =
there is no trail, traversing across steep hillsides puts my ankles in comp=
romising angles, frequently with one foot higher than the other (like a mou=
ntain goat) for long stretches.=C2=A0 As the elevation increases, the groun=
d becomes rockier and sometimes snowier.=C2=A0 The boots were worn on many =
hikes with 2000' (600 m) elevation gain, typically encountering all the abo=
ve terrain in a single day.

EVALUATION
=C2=A0
There was never a boot=
break-in period nor were there any hot spots on my feet.=C2=A0 The boots w=
ere comfortable from the first day I used them.=C2=A0 My feet stayed dry an=
d comfortable with no blisters, no purple toe nails, no slips, and I only h=
ad minimal foot fatigue after long hikes.The SALOMON QUEST 4D 2 GTX W boot =
was a dream boot from the start.=C2=A0 From the minute I laced them up, I k=
new I was hooked.=C2=A0 The three selling features were the lace locker, pa=
dded gusseted tongue, and Contagrip soles.<<IMAGE GOES HERE. ALT TEXT =3D "=
IMAGE 1">>The laces tighten in all the right places without digging into th=
e ankle.=C2=A0 After the third set of lace loops, there is a lace locker th=
at secures the lace so that the heel doesn't slip back and forth or up and =
down in the boot.=C2=A0 This keeps the ankle in place to prevent heel blist=
ers and keeps the toes from hitting the front of the boot when hiking downh=
ill.=C2=A0 This also provides for excellent ankle support.=C2=A0 There are =
two lace hooks above the lace locker for further ankle support.<<IMAGE GOES=
HERE. ALT TEXT =3D "IMAGE 2">>When the laces are tied, the padded gusseted=
tongue is soft and cushy and allows the ankle to bend without slipping.=C2=
=A0 There is no lace pressure at the ankle.I like the Contragrip soles.=C2=
=A0 When hiking downhill on loose gravel, I don't slip.=C2=A0 When hiking a=
cross wet rocks, I don't slip.=C2=A0=C2=A0 When hiking across snow, I don't=
slip.=C2=A0 When scrambling over boulders, I don't slip.=C2=A0 All the lug=
s are deep and the non-slip features are in the right places to give me con=
fidence to move nimbly when needed.<<IMAGE GOES HERE. ALT TEXT =3D "IMAGE 3=
">>Another plus is when I walk through water above the top of the boots and=
water seeps inside, the boots are not wet for long.=C2=A0 There is a wicki=
ng polyester lining that absorbs and disperses the water.=C2=A0 No more shr=
iveled up cold damp feet.On the con side, these boots are not true to size.=
=C2=A0 I wear a size 7 1/2 US (40 EU) and these are an 8 1/2 (41 EU).=C2=A0=
When I tried them on at the store, the sales person told me they ran small=
and he was correct.=C2=A0 For me they are about a 1/2 size off as I tend t=
o buy hiking boots with a little extra room in the toe box to avoid the dre=
aded black toenails from those long steep descents.The boots now have a cou=
ple of hundred miles (300+ km) on them.=C2=A0=C2=A0 They have held up well =
with no signs of unusual wear.=C2=A0=C2=A0 I believe I'll easily get anothe=
r couple hundred miles out of them.Side note:=C2=A0 One day I got blisters =
from a pair of casual shoes and dreaded putting on the SALOMON QUEST 4D GTX=
W boot for a hike the following day.=C2=A0 With the hiking boots, I felt o=
nly minor heel blister discomfort and hiked the following day too.=C2=A0
SU=
MMARY
=C2=A0
The SALOMON QUEST 4D 2 GTX W boots are by far the best hiking =
boots I have owned.=C2=A0 They are comfortable, keep my feet secure, keep m=
y feet dry, are made of high quality materials and workmanship, and have ex=
cellent traction.

I ha
ve hiked all of the local well known trails in my area, but now more frequently I travel off-trail. The terrain is generally rugged where a typical trip may consists of wading through ice-cold streams, climbing over boulders and fallen trees, and hiking across scree, wetlands, and tundra.

down ... down ... down ... and wet ... wet ... wet. I have had enough purple toenails, heel blisters, and cold soggy feet from ill-fitting boots to last a lifetime. I wear my old boots when going to try on new boots. I need a comparison. I judge one foot with the new boot and one with the old while I walk up and down the little fake boulder on display at the shoe store. Back and forth, up and down, down and up, backward and forward; boot after boot after boot until I find the perfect fit. When trying on boots and hiking, I wear a single layer mid-weight wicking sock.</div><div id="yiv7537195778yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485644990828_3704" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size: 16px;
background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" dir="ltr" abp="1803">The boots have been worn on hikes as short as 3 miles (5 km) and as long as 14 miles (23 km), all in Colorado in mountainous terrain between 8500' (2600 m) and 13,500' (4100 m). The boots have been worn in all four seasons and in varying temperatures from sunny 75 F (24 C) days to frigid 10 F (-12 C) days. A typical day wearing the boots is an off-trail hike. I usually start on a gravel or dirt trail, but soon cut off into a drainage to reach a hidden lake or vista. The terrain in the drainages is very uneven consisting of grass, talus, fallen trees, rocks, scree, boulders, marsh, and creeks. Being that there is no trail, traversing across steep hillsides puts my ankles in compromising angles, frequently
with one foot higher than the other (like a mountain goat) for long stretches. As the elevation increases, the ground becomes rockier and sometimes snowier. The boots were worn on many hikes with 2000' (600 m) elevation gain, typically encountering all the above terrain in a single day.</div><div id="yiv7537195778yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485644990828_3705" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size: 16px;background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" dir="ltr" abp="1804"><br abp="1805"></div><div id="yiv7537195778yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485644990828_3706" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size: 16px;background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" dir="ltr" abp="1806">

The boots were comfortable from the first day I used them. My feet stayed dry and comfortable with no blisters, no purple toe nails, no slips, and I only had minimal foot fatigue after long hikes.</div><div id="yiv7537195778yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485644990828_3710" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size: 16px;background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" dir="ltr" abp="1810">The SALOMON QUEST 4D 2 GTX W boot wa
s a dream boot from the start. From the minute I laced them up, I knew I was hooked. The three selling features were the lace locker, padded gusseted tongue, and Contagrip soles.</div><div id="yiv7537195778yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485644990828_3711" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size: 16px;background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" dir="ltr" abp="1811"><<IMAGE GOES HERE.

e. After the third set of lace loops, there is a lace locker that secures the lace so that the heel doesn't slip back and forth or up and down in the boot. This keeps the ankle in place to prevent heel blisters and keeps the toes from hitting the front of the boot when hiking downhill. This also provides for excellent ankle support. There are two lace hooks above the lace locker for further ankle support.</div><div id="yiv7537195778yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485644990828_3713" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size: 16px;background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" dir="ltr" abp="1813"><<IMAGE GOES HERE.

There is no lace pressure at the ankle.</div><div id="yiv7537195778yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485644990828_3715" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size: 16px;background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" dir="ltr" abp="1815">I like the Contragrip soles. When hiking downhill on loose gravel, I don't slip. When hiking across wet rocks, I don't slip. When hiking across snow, I don't slip. When scrambling over boulders
, I don't slip. All the lugs are deep and the non-slip features are in the right places to give me confidence to move nimbly when needed.</div><div id="yiv7537195778yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485644990828_3716" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size: 16px;background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" dir="ltr" abp="1816"><<IMAGE GOES HERE.

long. There is a wicking polyester lining that absorbs and disperses the water. No more shriveled up cold damp feet.</div><div id="yiv7537195778yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1485644990828_3718" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size: 16px;background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" dir="ltr" abp="1818">On the con side, these boots are not true to size. I wear a size 7 1/2 US (40 EU) and these are an 8 1/2 (41 EU). When I tried them on at the store, the sales person told me they ran small and he was correct. For me they are about a 1/2 size off as I tend to buy hiking boots with a little extra room in the toe box to avoid the dreaded black toenails from those long steep descents.</div><div id="yiv75371957
