Overview
Salomon built the Quest GORE-TEX for long expeditions with a heavy pack, wrapping the foot in a supportive chassis that steadies sensitive joints. A grippy rubber outsole and waterproof build handle rough, wet terrain.
Stability under load is what it was designed around, which pays off on multi day trips. That support adds weight and firmness, which can feel like too much on short day hikes.
Who it's for
Long distance hikers who carry a full pack get support that limits ankle roll. Casual walkers and fast hikers should look at something lighter.
Pros and cons
- Waterproof GORE-TEX construction
- Strong lateral support
- Cushioned ride under load
- Heavier than light hikers
- Firm feel on easy trails
- Unlined, so less warmth in winter
Performance notes
A chassis that wraps the midfoot limits twisting, which cuts fatigue when a pack pushes the foot sideways. The GORE-TEX layer blocks water but also slows how fast sweat escapes on hot days.

Frequently asked questions
How do I clean the Salomon Quest 4 GTX?
The listing gives no care steps. Brushing off mud and rinsing with plain water, then air drying away from heat, protects the leather and GORE-TEX layer.
Is the Salomon Quest 4 GTX waterproof?
Yes. The description names GORE-TEX and the specs list waterproof as a feature.
Is the Salomon Quest 4 GTX good for day hikes?
It works, but it is designed for long expeditions and heavy packs, so it can feel more shoe than a short hike needs.
