- "Very happy with the comfort."

10/10 ankle support

With remarks such as "the waterproofing is excellent" and "feet always dry," the Salomon Quest Element GTX is quite impermeable. That said, a couple of hikers reported that its Gore-Tex membrane doesn't last that long.
There's also a vlogger who wishes its tongue gusset was at least as high as the heel collar, which is about 6.5 inches from the ground. But this isn’t the case, and he fears that this design choice will flood the shoe in waters higher than 5.5 inches.

"Amazingly light for their size"—this is how a seasoned trekker describes the Salomon Quest Element GTX, which weighs 545 g a piece. Another one chimes in with: "the lightest I've owned." FYI: the average weight of backpacking boots is 690 g, making the featured kick 145 g lighter.
The Quest Element GTX's accommodating fit
A broad-footed adventure recommends the Quest Element GTX to people with wide feet, humorously referring to them as "wide-footed animals." On the other hand, there are those who find the boot well-fitting for slim-footed hikers, too.
Won't bail on you in the cold
It's "great in the snow," says one impressed adventurer. Another says that the Quest Element GTX has "fantastic insulation without sacrificing breathability." FYI: the boot in question has no insulating components.
Wanted: A cushier insert
A footwear vlogger is a bit disappointed that the default footbed of the Salomon Quest Element GTX has insufficient cushioning.
