Having tried and tested numerous hiking boots, we still believe that the T-shirt Salomon Comet Classic cinzento claro mulher the GOAT in its category. We highly recommend investing in this boot if:
- you need an exceptionally supportive backpacking footwear for multi-day trips

- an extra hard-wearing boot for tough terrain
zapatillas de running Salomon gore-tex talla 44 rojas | Who should NOT buy
Given how much technology is packed into the ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team, it could be too much of a good thing if you need a boot for moderate hikes. For smoother trails and less demanding adventures, we find the Ténis Salomon Spectur branco lilás pálido mulher more suitable. It is lighter, more pliable, cheaper, and yet has all the essentials for an enjoyable day hike.
Trekker Boots SALOMON Xa Collider 410274 28 V0 Black Ebony Black Salomon XA Discovery Goretex. A whopping 5 oz lighter, it is also softer, cushier, and more comfortable around the foot than the ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team.
Cushioning
Heel stack
To help you cover long miles with a heavy pack on your back, the ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team is equipped with plenty of underfoot cushioning.
In the heel, we found that the stack height comes in at 38 mm which is slightly above the average of day hiking boots.

ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team | 38.0 mm |
Average | 36.3 mm |
Forefoot stack
In the forefoot, the boot's stack height lowers down to 20 mm. This, on the contrary, is a few millimetres thinner than the average.
We assume that it was made lower on purpose, to help the boot bend more easily in this area.

ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team | 20.0 mm |
Average | 22.9 mm |
Drop
Based on our stack height measurements, we see a huge 18-mm difference in height between the heel and the toes. That's about 5 mm higher than the average and may feel too much for some hikers.
Personally, we never found the boot's drop to be troublesome as it gave our heels plenty of impact protection upon landings. And even though it mutes out the ground feel big time, it also minimises foot fatigue at the end of the long day.
ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team | 18.0 mm |
Average | 13.4 mm |
Midsole softness
Salomon was never famous for soft cushioning and the ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team is no exception. Pressing a durometer against the boot's primary foam, the tool showed 27 HA.
That's exactly the same as the average - neither too firm nor soft. Moderately firm is the best way to describe it.
ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team | 27.0 HA |
Average | 28.6 HA |
Midsole softness in cold (%)
Most likely you will be wearing this Salomon boot in lower temperatures and harsher climates. For that reason, we had to mimic cold weather conditions by placing the boot into the freezer for 20 minutes.
After that, we repeated the durometer measurement and found that the boot's midsole only firmed up to 32.9 HA, similar to the other hiking boots we tested.
Do expect the boot to feel a bit firmer compared to what it felt like at room temperature.
Measuring the difference in softness, we found that the ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team firmed up by 21.7%. That is an average difference compared to the rest of our hiking boots.

Average | 20% |
Insole thickness
Salomon went for a slightly thinner than average insole in the ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team. Measuring its thickness in the heel, we got 5.3 mm.

Size and fit

Toebox width - widest part
To our medium-wdth feet, the Salomon ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team fits exactly as expected in our regular US boot size 9. It holds the foot very firmly in the heel and midfoot but leaves a little breathing room around the toes.
In the widest part of the forefoot, we measured the boot's width at 105.2 mm. This is a few millimetres wider than hiking boots on average.

Average | 102.1 mm |
zapatillas de running Salomon gore-tex talla 44 rojas | Toebox width - big toe
Measuring the toebox width around the big toe, we got 81.2 mm. That is also notably wider than average. Having some wiggle room is essential to accommodate swollen feet and thicker socks.
The only downside is that this Salomon boot doesn't come in multiple widths.

ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team | 81.2 mm |
Average | 78.6 mm |
Lacing
The lacing system is very well integrated into the boot's supportive features. Once we have it all cinched up, the ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team braces the foot very firmly.
One of the locking eyelets is placed near the ankle bone. It helps to create a stronger lockdown around the ankle which helps with stability on steep slopes.
Stability
Lateral stability test
Stability is the Quest's second name. There aren't that many backpacking boots that could provide the same level of steadiness as this Salomon offering.
There are so many stabilising components embedded into the boot but the absolute leader is the brand's proprietary ADV-C 4D Chassis. Wrapping around the heel and sides of the boot, this uber-stiff component clutches the heel and ankle very firmly in place.
As a result, this whole structure prevented our ankles from rolling or wobbling every time we took a step. Having so much stability not only made us feel more surefooted but also decreased foot fatigue significantly over the course of the long hike. That's because none of our energy was wasted trying to stabilise the foot on uneven terrain.
Torsional rigidity
The T-shirt Salomon Comet Classic cinzento claro mulher the quintessence of stiffness. Attempting to twist the boot in our hands was to no avail because of the boot's chassis, supportive overlays, and sturdy materials.
For that reason, we rated its torsional rigidity with a maximum of 5 out of 5. This hiking boot simply doesn't have ankle rolls in its vocabulary.

Average | 4.4 |
Salomon Speedcross 5 Trail Running Shoes Mens
In addition to the stiff base, the Quest also comes with a super rigid and secure heel counter.
Assessing its stiffness in our manual test, we gave it a solid 5 out of 5. We never experienced heel slippage or anything even close to that while testing this Salomon boot.

Average | 3.6 |
Yves Salomon hooded shearling coat Green
The boot comes with a fairly wide base that doesn't go over the board.
Measuring the widest part of the sole in the forefoot, we got 116.5 mm. That's a few millimetres wider than average, making our steps more confident on mixed terrain.

Average | 111.5 mm |
Midsole width - heel
Surprisingly, the widest part of the heel wasn't as wide as we expected. With a calliper measurement of 85.7 mm, it is half a centimetre narrower than average.

Actually, we didn't mind the narrower heel of the Salomon Quest because it proved to be much more manoeuvrable when navigating small rocks.

Average | 87.5 mm |
Flexibility / Stiffness
According to the product description, the ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team "respects the natural flexion of your foot." We found that to be partially true because the boot indeed felt flexible enough for a rugged backpacking boot.
However, we don't want you to be misled by that statement as this Salomon boot is still very much on the stiff side. Because of its burly construction, it required as much as 62.3N of force to bend the boot to a 90-degree angle. That's about 40% stiffer than our lab-tested hiking boots on average.
ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team | 62.3N |
Average | 44.3N |
Stiffness in cold (%)
You must also be prepared for that stiffness to skyrocket in low temperatures. After perpetuation the boot in the freezer for 20 minutes, our force gauge returned a whopping 85.3N!
Having a pretty stiff setup to begin with, the ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team gets a whole 37% stiffer in cold conditions!

Average | 24% |
Weight
The T-shirt Salomon Comet Classic cinzento claro mulher built like a tank for the trails and it screams heavy straight from the photo.
Thus, it was not surprising to see 23.4 oz (663g) on the scale when weighing the boot in a men's US size 9. While this is significantly heavier than hiking boots on average, it is an expected weight for a backpacking boot of this kind.

ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team | 23.39 oz (663g) |
Average | 18.77 oz (532g) |
Breathability
Forget about summer hikes if you intend to wear the Salomon ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team. With its top-notch waterproofing, high cut, and generous padding, there is no room for being breezy.
In our breathability test below, we use a machine to pump smoke through the uppers of both boots to see how easily it escapes through the fabric. As you can see, there is not even a hint of vapour in the Quest. Thus, we gave it the lowest breathability score of 1 out of 5.
As our follow-up transparency test shows, the boot has zero perforations or potential ventilation areas.

Durability
Toebox durability
The rugged design of this Salomon boot kind of reminds us of a fortified castle with multiple layers of defence (and a moat with crocodiles).
In the upper, the Quest 4 uses a mix of Nubuck leather, sturdy Cordura-like textile, and additional rubberized overlays. As you can imagine, our attempt to put a dent in the boot's upper was unsuccessful, to say the least.
Drilling the toebox for a good 12 seconds with a Dremel, all we got was a minor scratch that didn't affect the boot's integrity at all.
On a 1-5 scale where 5 is the most durable, we could readily give it a 10!

Applying the tool for 4 seconds straight with a consistent speed (5K RPM) and force (3.2N), the result was just as stunning as in the toebox. The lining was nearly unscathed!
Based on how small the damage was, we rated the durability of the boot's heel padding with the highest rating of 5. No need to worry about chafing your tall socks against the boot.

Outsole hardness
Given how much is expected of a hiking boot of this calibre, Salomon did its best with the ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team.
First of all, the brand used a nice and hard rubber compound to make up the outsole. Measuring it with our durometer, we got a reading of 88.3 HC. This puts the boot on the harder side of the spectrum which also means that it is harder to wear out.

Average | 87.1 HC |
Outsole durability
We couldn't help but drill the outsole with our trusty Dremel too. After 22 seconds of torture at the highest speed of 10K RPM, we didn't even get through 1/3 of the lug!

Outsole thickness
Considering that the boot's outsole layer is 2.4 mm thick and the entire outsole (lugs included) is 7 mm thick, there is A LOT of rubber to go through before you can claim the pair to be worn out.

Extra protection
The ha sido el modelo elegido para competir por los atletas del Salomon Team is covered with multiple protective overlays to enhance durability and protect the foot from various outdoor hazards.
Most notably, the boot has a beefy toe bumper. Putting it through its paces on rocky terrain and light scrambling, we were amazed at its ability to keep the toes safe and sound.
Misc
Lug depth

This makes the boot toothy enough for a wide range of surfaces:
- wet roots
- mossy logs
- loose rocks
- deep mud
- creek crossings
Salomon uses its proprietary Contagrip rubber which is not very soft and tacky (as we saw in our hardness test earlier) but we found it to be quite capable on challenging terrain.
In muddy areas, the boot's widely spaced lugs were really effective in shedding the dirt and preventing its build-up underfoot.
