- Is the XT-Quest Gore-Tex good for hiking?
- Yes for day hikes, wet trails and travel. It lacks the ankle support and stiffness of a backpacking boot, so it suits light loads and mixed terrain rather than multi-day trips with heavy packs.
- How does it compare with the Salomon XT-6?
- The XT-Quest adds a Gore-Tex membrane, a more protective upper and a sturdier build. The XT-6 is lighter and more breathable but not waterproof.
- Does it fit true to size?
- It runs narrow and snug. Most buyers stay with their usual Salomon size, but wide feet often go up a half size.
- Is it actually waterproof?
- The Gore-Tex membrane keeps water out in rain and puddles. Water can still enter over the collar in deep water, and the lining makes the shoe warmer than a non-waterproof model.
- Can I wear it as an everyday shoe?
- Many owners do, for travel and city wear. The firm midsole and warm lining make it less comfortable than a cushioned sneaker on long days of pavement walking.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of shoes with the Ortholite insole fitted and the quick-lacing system already set up. No spare laces or extra insoles are included.
