Are the Salomon Quest 4 GTX good for backpacking?

Yes. The stiff sole, ankle support and protective upper suit loaded packs on rough trails. They are heavier than light hikers, which some find tiring on long days.

Are they truly waterproof?

They have a GORE-TEX membrane and stay dry in rain and shallow crossings. Several owners report the waterproofing weakening after a season or two of hard use.

Most buyers say they fit true to size with a roomy toe box. Try them with your hiking socks, since the stiff upper leaves little room to size down.

How do they compare with the Quest 3?

The Quest 4 keeps the same GORE-TEX build and Contagrip outsole with a revised upper and lacing. Owners mostly notice similar support and weight rather than a big step up.

Do they need breaking in?

Most owners wear them comfortably on the first hike. The stiff sole still takes a few short walks to soften for some people.

Are they good for winter hiking?

They handle cold, wet and snowy trails with waterproofing and a bit of insulation. They are not a mountaineering boot and lack a full winter lining.
