We have been waiting for a boot this good to replace our old faithful Salomon’s. My husband and I have done many long hikes and would feel confident wearing these boots on overnight hikes and day walks with uneven tracks. There’s been a huge improvement with traction, no more slipping on gravel for us, a very comfortable boot, good toe protection and has kept our feet warm and dry. Easy to adjust the ankle laces to give good support or loosen off. Maybe a tad warm if you were in a hot climate but that’s what you get if you want goretex. Our reliable leather boots can be bulky and heavy, the quest is a great alternative.

I read a number of reviews and having worn out my Ellipse leather GTX was excited. What I love about this boot is the reinforced toe, the laces are secured, colour, and higher ankle but they are heavy. I hiked for 90 minutes and had ankle fatigue. I feel I'm walking in ski boots. If you are a petite person then don't buy. They are also too roomy around the toe. So sadly I've gone and bought a new pair of Ellipse at another store because you're out of stock. I'll keep these Quest Prime for shorter walks, or in the rain.
