Thank you very much for this helpful video. I ordered my first pair of Salomon Quest 4D 2 GTX in 2018 and did my high altitude snow treks in India and Nepal Himalayas. Gifted my wife the same in 2021 as I'm in love with these shoes as they withstood every odd and are tough and super comfortable. The waterproofing is again an added advantage as there is no chance of feet getting wet.The grip on steep and slippery muddy or snowy ascents is superb. Fellow trekkers use crampons and gaitors but i don't. It keeps my feet warm throughout the adventure journeys.Though i wear 8.5 size but even 9 size fits as expected. They look bulky but surprisingly they are not.
Nice video - short and sweet. I love my Salomon boots and have worn them for 1000s of hours on walks with dog and camera.
Beautiful plain and simple!! 👍
These are my exact hiking boots lol love them ❤
Thank-you ❤
Hello, in the US what NST proof spray do you recommend?
astounding video Salomon TV. I smashed the thumbs up on your video. Maintain up the high quality work.
Big thanks!
Calm down
Hola dónde puedo comprar el spray impermeabilizante?
Hey Salomon, I wish you would launch a re-soling service. Salomon shoes are well known for having quick wearing soles. I love my Quest GTX hiking boots and the upper portion is still great, but the soles are starting to fall apart after a few years. Seems a waste and not very sustainable to throw them away!
Maybe not Solamon but most cobblers will resole boots. For about £60 you can get get vibrams fitted or buy the outsole yourself if you are confident to DIY
Thank you madam. What country are you from?
Thks for the vid. Never knew have to respray water repellent for gtx... always thought gtx is waterproof by nature... now I have to get a bottle for my x ultra 3 gtx...
So will the gtx waterproofing be gone if I don't use the spray?
The spray is a DWR (Durable Water Repellant). It helps water and dirt not stick to the outside. It does nothing to affect the waterproofness of the Gore-Tex membrane. It can help with air permability (breathability). If the face fabric gets saturated with water the Gore-Tex won't be able to allow expel water vapour.
Used my quest 4d 3GTX boots last weekend hiking in the rain, and they got completely soaked inside. I saw the newspaper method to place inside, however I do have a boot drier made by RedWing; would that help dry it faster? Thanks!

thats a really nice boot what model is it ?
X-ultra 4 gtx
Hi, no info in the video about how to clean shoes Inside... ? After a wile all the foot-sweat will remain inside.. or ? What about the breathing ability ?
You are right. I soak my shoes in Vinegar and water. Never a problem and cuts the biologics out of the insides. Surprised they don't mention that thorough cleaning inside. I don't think it damages anything to do so.
Hi Salomon
Recently (Aug 2023) I've bought a pair of boots Salomon Quest GtX 4D in Costa Rica, we hace tropical weather 🌧️ 🌞 🌡️. I use liquid hands soap for cleaning but I don't have Gore-Tex liquid for reapply protection. Can I use water repellent for leather/ sintetic shoes in spray ? Thanks and pura vida ✌🏽😎!
Hi there! You can check our cleaning guide here: www.salomon.com/en-us/outdoor/outdoor-advice/how-clean-and-care-your-hiking-shoes 🙂
@@SalomonTV thanks
Why is it not recommended to leave them out in the sun to dry?
I'd also like to know?
@@think_fool Shrinkage
UV damage on rubber/plastics is my guess. I use 303 Aerospace rubber/plastic protector spray on all those materials, so I spritzed my shoes with it.
@@tomrobsmith4410I second this, I did that to mine and they shrunk a little so I had a hard time wearing them for a bit
I accidently get my Quest4d gtx focre2 soaked with the sea how can I do ? It's completely wet inside and outside of my boots Can I soke it with water?
Hi Olan! Sorry to hear that. Let them dry far from heat sources (electric heater, drying machine and direct sunlight), with paper in the inside, so the shoe doesn't lose his shape. This should work!
We used the butlers didnt we? 😂
Thanks came from boot camp and my crucible jungle boots look like trash !!
Glad you found this helpful! See you out on the trails 🙌
Why not wash the inside? I soak in vinegar and water.
Hi, we do not suggest soaking them or use vinegar, it may damage the glues and materials that attach soles to the mesh and also the colour/fabric. Learn more, here: www.salomon.com/en-us/outdoor/outdoor-advice/how-clean-and-care-your-hiking-shoes 🙂
Best shoes best hiking boots Iv ever worn got a pair of hiking shoes I take on work trips rock hard never let me down in boggy ground or rocky terrain 🏔️👌
Pressure washer! It takes seconds, and does the best job 👍
Reactivate the goretex with a spray... Wtf???????????
Yes I think it's DWR spray for Goretex shoes.
Yeah, you’re really pretty
