Salomon Quest Rove Mid GTX Men's Boots US 10.5 Black Phantom Magnet

These have become my "go to" rucking boot while moving under load or with load bearing equipment. The interior is easy to break in and feels comfortable even on long marches while also maintaining firm stability throughout the toe box and heel. I usually can't wear Goretex lined boots for long because generally speaking my feet sweat abnormally compared to other guys so it's surprising I can hoof it out with these. The selling price is also outstanding compared to many other similar products for the same quality. I honestly want another pair as a back up, even though my current set has a lot of life left on them. I've rucked an estimated 150 miles in these do far both on maintained trails and rough terrain. They still look new besides some obvious wear on the heel. ... MoreThese have become my "go to" rucking boot while moving under load or with load bearing equipment.

As a mail carrier that walks 12 to 16 miles a day, six days a week, I am constantly on the hunt for the perfect pair of shoes. This is certainly not them. I was excited about trying them on a friends suggestion and reading reviews. My experience was the complete opposite. In the beginning I grew sores on my ankles from where the top lace eyelets hit. I brushed that off as being new and maybe I was lacing them too tight (which should not be the case). I kept wearing them thinking they needed to be broken in. After the first rain, my socks and feet were soaked. These are absolutely not waterproof. After only a couple of months, the rubber on the toe is coming unglued, the inner heal is wearing holes in my socks and blisters on my heals. Maybe because I can't lace them ... MoreAs a mail carrier that walks 12 to 16 miles a day, six days a week, I am constantly on the hunt for the perfect pair of shoes. This is certainly not them.

Maybe because I can't lace them tight because the eyelets will rub sores into my ankles? Seriously the worst money, lots of money, that I've ever wasted. Do not by these if you plan on walking or hiking a lot.

I’ve gone on several 5+ mile hikes with my new Salomon boots and felt like they were instantly ready to go without a break in period.Each step feels securely planted whether I’m scrambling, walking around town or running up on loose gravel. I love these boots and I can tell they will keep up with me for a few years at the very least.
