- Are the Salomon Quest Tracker GTX truly waterproof?
- Yes. They have a Gore-Tex membrane plus a nubuck and leather upper, so rain and wet trails stay out. Water can still enter over the collar in deep water.
- How do they compare with the Salomon X Ultra?
- The Quest Tracker is heavier and stiffer, with more leather and a boot-like feel. The X Ultra is lighter and more breathable, better for fast hiking in dry conditions.
- Do they need breaking in?
- Many owners wear them comfortably right away, but the stiff leather upper can take a few hikes to soften. Wear them on shorter walks first.
- What is the fit like?
- They are unisex and generally run true to size with a roomy toe box. Hikers with wide feet often find them comfortable; narrow feet may want thicker socks.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of shoes with the Ortholite insole fitted. No extra laces or care products are included.
- Are they good for hot-weather hiking?
- Less so. The waterproof leather upper traps heat, so they suit cool, wet or three-season hiking better than summer desert trails.
