Salomon Women's QUEST ELEMENT GORE-TEX Leather Hiking Boot

I have problems with my ankles ( always rolling and tearing them ). I have to wear a brace to do everything . I own a pair of low ankle Salomon’s and love them but wanted to see if something high ankle would help .When they arrived and I opened the box I thought “ oh no they sent me men’s size !” They looked huge ! But I looked an indeed they were women’s size. So I tried them on and laced them up and immediately could tell they would be supportive. Went hiking ( I’d say I’m intermediated ) and got lost lol and ended up doing 6.5 miles in my new boots. My feet were not sore at all and no blisters ! I’ve been caught in storms , mud and walked through creeks not one drop of water on my socks. I’m sold and so glad I bought these and so far haven’t even come close to rolling my ankle :)

excellent product

I wore these on a trip to Nevada, Utah, and Arizona, and they provided excellent support and grip for hiking and rock scrambling. My feet feel great after 4 days of exploring.

These boots are great. They are heavy, so be advised. The ankle supports are very stiff, almost like wearing ice skates. I keep the ankle part unlaced to avoid excessive bruising. Watch out when tying bows int eh laces, because they can get caught on the eyelet hooks and trip you. I learned that the hard way. For waterproofness, walking through water is fine until you get to the ankle. Once water gets in the boot from the top, it's staying in there. I had to dump out my boot after stepping into a river crossing on accident, and I had to stuff towels in the boot to fully dry it. On another hike, they lasted 4 hours of steady Washington downpour before they became waterlogged. Overall, I'm pleased with these boots and they're holding up great after 5 long, wet hikes.

I'm usually a size 8.5 in women's. This felt a half size too big. I need ankle support but this felt too stiff to hike comfortably in. Maybe it would've broke in after a bit but I wasn't going to risk it and I sent them back.

Buy it a a month or two before you need it. Very comfortable.

I rate these a 0 star due to the sole being slick on wet surface. They are described as all terrain hiking boots…. They are not! They are super comfortable. Light weight but very dangerously slick soled on wet surface. I fell and injured my back because of them!!!!!! I dont have the box to send them back or I would return them.

I love these hiking boots. They fit well are comfortable and waterproof. They exactly what I needed for hiking on wet Dewey trails.
