Our take on the Salomon Women's Quest Element Gore-Tex Waterproof Neutral Leather Hiking Boots

The Salomon Quest Element GTX is a women's high-cut leather hiking boot with a Gore-Tex waterproof membrane and a rubber outsole. It sits below Salomon's burlier Quest 4 in weight and stiffness, so it suits day hikes and light backpacking better than heavy loads. The 10 mm drop and standard width give a familiar, stable feel underfoot. Owners like the out-of-the-box comfort and dry feet; the trade-offs are a stiff break-in and a heavier feel than trail shoes.

Best forDay hikers on wet, muddy trailsWomen who want leather support without a full mountaineering bootLight backpacking with a modest packWalkers who prefer a traditional lace-up fit
Pros
  • Gore-Tex membrane keeps feet dry in rain and puddles
  • Full leather upper adds support and abrasion resistance
  • High cut supports the ankle on rough ground
  • Rubber outsole grips well on dirt, rock and wet roots
  • Comfortable enough for most hikers without a long break-in
Cons
  • Heavier than trail runners and mid-cut boots
  • Leather takes time to soften and can feel stiff at first
  • 10 mm drop feels dated next to lower-drop rivals
  • Warm in hot weather; not breathable for summer hikes
  • Standard width runs narrow for wide feet

Questions and answers

Is the Quest Element GTX truly waterproof?
Yes. It has a Gore-Tex membrane under the leather upper, so it keeps water out in rain and on wet trails. Water can still enter over the top of a high boot in deep water.
How does it compare with the Salomon Quest 4 GTX?
The Quest Element is lighter and less stiff than the Quest 4, with less underfoot protection. It suits day hikes and light packs; the Quest 4 is built for heavier loads and rougher terrain.
Does it need breaking in?
The leather upper is stiff at first for many wearers. Short walks before a long hike help soften it and reduce hot spots.
What drop and width does it have?
It has a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop and a standard width. Hikers with wide feet often need to size up or look at a wide-fit boot.
Can I use it for summer hiking?
It works, but the leather and Gore-Tex make it warm. For hot, dry conditions a breathable low-cut shoe is cooler.
What is in the box?
One pair of boots with the stock textile insole and regular laces. Insoles and care products are not included.
