When wild places and unknown paths call, you need a backpacking boot designed for adventures. With premium Nubuck leather, Gore-Tex protection, and a higher and more protective cut, the Quest Element GTX protects you from obstacles and the elements.

Salomon's further buttressed the Quest Element with a higher cuff, offering a bit more ankle security. A stabilizing ADV-C chassis keeps you agile on uneven and variable terrain, while the iconic Mud Contagrip outsole serves up max grip on loose, soft, and rugged surfaces.
