1/5/2024 0 Comments Solomon quest 4dI have two pairs, the first pair I bought is the Tethera which is made with their standard last which comes in half sized and five widths – I went for the wide version. I also have feet which are broad at the fore foot and narrow at the heel.īut anyway, yeah, I’ve struggled for years to find boots that really fit well. I tried a pair of those but I found they pinched me in the arch. I’m gutted, not least because they’re the comfiest boots I’ve ever had. A word of warning for anyone faced with this issue in future - Salomon will only provide a new warranty if you pay for the replacement this can be £10, but you need to pay.įast forward to April 2021 and the boots ‘bought’ in October 2019 have seen very little wear due to Covid and have now split. I’d have had to shell out some of my own hard earned cash to get a more attractive colour. I was provided with a voucher for the original value and sadly, having lived in Aberdeen long enough to be considered an Aberdonian, bought the brown pair in the sale as they were covered. I know some folks seem to accept that fabric boots will leak but they really shouldn’t. My first pair was bought in July 2017, replaced by Salomon after contacting them in August 2019 as they’d started to leak quite significantly. Out of the box they were comfortable and fit my feet so well - I have a broad forefoot and narrow heel. Until February 1 st the Salomon Quest 4D boots are exclusive to Cotswold.I love these boots. I just wish Salmon would offer different widths. If they fit these are good boots for rough ground and cool weather. Worn with medium weight socks they’re proved warm too. I’ve found the grip excellent on muddy thawing ground as well as on firm snow. Whilst not designed for winter I’ve mostly worn them in snow as they only arrived in December and it’s been pretty snowy since then. They do feel stable on rough ground and the stiff sole makes for a supportive platform when traversing steep slopes. I can wear them for a couple of hours but then my feet start to ache. The fit is slightly narrow at the front for my feet, as is usual with Salomon footwear. They’re quite high for a fabric boot and the tongue is sewn-in almost to the top so they’re good at keeping out water and snow. The boots have a solid heel counter and toe bumper. ![]() The boots are built on a curved last so there’s a rolling motion when you walk that counters some of the stiff toe flex. They do flex at the toe, but not easily though in time they will probably soften up here. What it does is make the boots quite stiff side to side. ![]() Salomon says this ‘guides the foot on even the roughest terrain to ensure stability and help reduce fatigue’. The boots are built on a Salomon’s 4D Chassis midsole, which consists of two cushioning layers of different densities with a shaped stiffening plate between them. The boots have a Gore-Tex lining, a dual density EVA midsole and a Contragrip tread. Salomon’s latest boot in the Quest series, the Quest 4D 3 GTX, is a nubuck leather and synthetic fabric model that looks and feels fairly substantial but is quite lightweight at 1.334kg for a pair of size nines.
