Salomon Boots review - Hiking Boots - Mountain Boots - X Ultra Mid - Quest 4D - Hiking Boots Review 

got my second pair, first lasted 10 months wearing daily

Just got quest o4 and great boots heavy sturdy type fell boots but like trainers to wear

Hey man just stumbled onto your site. Good presentation good review. Keep it up. I’m not, as of yet, a Solomon guy I’ve always had good luck with Merrel MOABs but they are the mids. The taller boots will give you better anckle support depending on the terrain you are moving through and the weight of your kit. Any way keep doing what you’re doing 👍 Cheers from the States 🇺🇸🇬🇧

got my second pair

“Boots that will last” - then don’t buy Salomon. I have quite a few Salomon models, from running shoes, to trail runners, spike runners (I live in Scandinavia), winter boots, X Ultra and Quest 4D. I buy them because they always have the same fit, and they just work from day one. Plus you often get them at a discount if you’re not looking for a very specific model and colour. HOWEVER, both the sole and overall build quallity are not made to last. Waterproofing will fail quite fast, too. I still continue to buy them, but have no illusions that they’re a one-two year purchase. For boots I reallly care about and will last many years, I go for leather boots like Lowa, Meindl, Hamwag, which of course cost more than Salomons.

Son you need a camera person who can zoom in on the shoe parts you’re describing so we get a better idea. 😊

hi you need to do a vid about what food you take on a days walking lol

hey! really liked your review :) i was a x ultra guy for a very long time. if i see right yours are the x ultra 3? great boot indeed. after quite some time mine gave up on me and i got me the x ultra 4. any experience with them? i am very disappointed by them. compared to the 3 they feel like a ballerina, and not in a good way. switched to salewa for now. but i have been a salomon guy for more than 2 decades and partially still i am :D

I've been watching lots of boot reviews because my Trespass Finley boots let the water in after only 12 months of light use! And they are supposed to be waterproof! Thanks for the advice, although I'm still none the wiser now after reading all the comments about Solomon boots. I might just end up buying some Hi-tec as they seem to be good value?

The Quest 4 are not durable at all. After less than two years of really moderate use they separated from the front rand making them not waterproof at all anymore. In fact there was a hike I did not even a year into their use where I already felt some water coming in. I've seen some other people mentioning the same issue of losing waterproofness so fast.

Great vid! How does the nikwax waterproofer compare to other products such as silicone based waterproofers?

I have both of these. Different boots for different needs. But a quick question if you don't mind. You mentioned the Nikwax fabric and leather waterproof spray for the Ultra's. Does it deliver for you? I've found the Quests to be really strong with waterproofing. No issues in the snow or wet for me. But the X Ultra's might as well be non-GTX. Blows my mind how ineffective it is. Kind of pisses me off a little too. I've paid for it. Just wanted to see if that was a solid fix for you. Thanks dude. Good job with this.

How long do the quests stay waterproof? I've heard people say they degrade.

yo, what would you recommend between quick lace system and regular lace.?

If you were a size 9 would you size up a size or half size ??

You forgot the lower lace locking system.

Sir, your shoes look pretty wrinkled, that's because you don't keep them on the shoe lasts!

Salomon run too thin. Not good boots for those with wide feet. Even going up a size doesn’t help.

Im is in indonations my you got

Their pish to narrow and not waterproof waste of money
