Grrrrrrrrrrrrreat!

Rating:*****
The best boot I've ever worn! They are ultra comfortable right out of the box. They hook up in everything from sand, to mud, to hardpack. They stay cool even with a sock and liner on in 90+ temps. Not sure how well they'll do in the snow but I'm sure with the right sock combo on you should be fine.
I've only had them a week now but looking at the fit and finish, running them through the gamet of terains, and packing a 60lbs plus bag around in them I can say that should hold up great. They should wear great, and deal with everything that I'm going to throw at them.
The only thing that I can say is buming me out about them is that the brown is fugly. And they are a bit heavier then I expected....
Check back in a month and I'll have a follow up review on how well they are surviving some serious abuse....

Awesome Boot!

Rating:*****
- I've had the boots about 1 month, and I am extremely pleased with them to date. The comfort was exceptional right out of the box -- they required no break-in whatsoever. The boots were also a little lighter than I was expecting!

- Good ankle support is a must for me -- the boots fit the bill perfectly.

- To date, I've only used the boot for light hiking. I will be taking them Alaska this month and New Zealand next month, and will update my review upon my return.

- While I'm not wild about the color, given the excellent fit and comfort, I can live with it :)

These are the greatest boots ever! I’ve only had them a week now, but I’ve already put 15 miles on them. They come out of the box ready to go. They hook up in all terrain from sand, to hard pack rocky trail, and even sticky mud. They allow quick movement in technical terrain, they do a great job of moving large (heavy) loads. I can’t say enough good things about these shoes/boots. If you want to see trail in less time and feel strong at the end of the day, then these boots are the ticket! The only draw back about them is the brown color. And they are a bit heavier than I expected.

Super comfortable

Rating:*****
For my size 12 feet these boots were super comfortable right out of the box! I have not tried them for any climbing but they have done well on trails. I've loved a pair of Salomon mountaineering boots I've had since 1994. So far these hikers appear to be another winner from Salomon. Regards, recommending them to others...I've already advised my brother to get them. One note, the "brown" color is more of a pumpkin shade. I'm getting used to the odd look but I have seen the gray ones on other web sites. REI might do well to stock the gray color too.

One boot for all occasions

Rating:*****
These boots are probably my favorite piece of gear and that is really saying something with all the different gear i have. I take these boots with me on hikes and when i go fishing. They are extremely waterproof and durable. The only change i made was to get an insole for some extra arch support. With this add on the boot is the complete package. i would recommend this boot for anyone who wants a reliable sturdy boot. These boots are comfortable enough for everyday use i just don't wear them everyday because i do want the treads to get worn down.

Perfect Quest! I love these shoes. I had a 3 day hiking in Colorado & they were the best hiking shoes I ever had. Incredibly light & supportive. I also enjoyed their great comfort & grip!
