We’ve been writing about the amazing Salomon Quest 4D GTX Boots boots for some time. First in Grey, then Brown and now they’re available in Olive! During last weekend’s excursion to Richmond we stopped by REI and lo and behold, there they were.
The color combo is actually Olive, Dark Olive and Black and for those of you in Woodland or Alpine environments this might be just the ticket.
Built on the same last as the Salomon XA Pro 3D, the sole relies on Salomon’s 4D Chassis. The outsole has an ascending lug pattern in the front and a braking pattern in the rear. There’s also a cushioning pad beneath the foot, the chassis to protect against twisted ankles, and then an additional cushioning pad to absorb rocks and roots underfoot (4 layers= 4D). Finally, the boot is also Gore-tex lined.

Glad it doesn’t have the speed untightening lace system.
Best boots Ive worn. Period.
Best boot I’ve ever worn for comfort, but I work in a wet climate and boot isn’t water proof due to the fact they have stitched the gore tex. Good news is Salomon has the Cosmic which they glued the gore tex instead of stitch… Can’t wait to get my boot allowance so I can try the Cosmic
All around great boot, comfortable out of the box and do well in the mountains.
