Salomon quest 4d gtx absolute brown for free#

Have also worn them on a week-long backpack trip in the Unitas (40-45 lb pack) and my feet, ankles and legs were fine. In the 4+ years I've worn the Salomon Quest 4Ds I have not experienced a single major ankle incident, which is little short of amazing given that most of my hiking is in Western PA/WVA where - on many of the rock piles that masquerade as trails - every step is a potential twisted ankle. I can - and have - turned them badly on cracks in the sidewalk. Both have been sprained, twisted, and turned more times than I can count. I'm in my 60s and my ankles feel like they are in their 80s. They have started to leak, but I have abused them and sorry to tell every one, waited a few days to clean them. They have been in heavy rain this year in California and mountains.

They gave me the last set for free and I thank them. I have now had the second set for more than three years. The bottom line is I would buy these boots again, and use them almost all the time. The reason I bought these boots is for wet grass and some protection from the rain, also the weight of the boots influenced me. The other thing that should be noted is with Superfeet and this type of boot, I feel this restricts the movement of the boot and could cause sole failure this is only my feeling. It took me two months to find this out I guess I am slow. I now use the ones that were provided with the boots and I went 10 miles with no problems. Then I checked my feet and found out they are flat. I thought I was getting weak and/or some underlying problems. I changed to Orange and this helped, but I still had some problems. This went on for a while until I realized it was my insoles. I had knee problems and major pain on my arches of both feet. I always start with just a few miles hike and work my way up. I put Superfeet Green into these boots when I bought them. I have put another 400 to 500 miles on the new set with no problems. I also need to add that the new boots had a different toe cover and the sole was a solid color from a different factory. While the boot may have a durability issue, this is not a problem because they will replace them. This is outstanding service and without the phone call I would have never known about this.

I gave the information and in one week I had a new pair of boots. They told me to look inside the boot for size sticker this also has the date of manufacture and what factory made the boot. I contacted Salomon Company and asked what type of glue should I use to repair my boots. I knew I had the boots for less than two years, but no way to prove it. I did buy these boots from Adventure 16, but didn’t have my receipt. The following is pictures of the boot failure. I tested for leaks and it was OK the soles are soft so I feel the rubber just closed upon itself. The other thing, which bothered me was on my very first hike I stepped on a cactus thorn and it went about 1 inch into the sole. I have been carrying approximately 25 pounds and bushwhacking when I started to feel the boots coming apart. I put about 400 miles and the exact thing happened to me. They had a few that claim the boot comes apart at the sole. This was correct for all the reviews I read. They are light and the lace system is great. I read the reviews and went to Adventure 16 and REI to try these boots. The disadvantage is a larger group can help you make more informed purchases and not spend countless hours or hikes with equipment failure. As a solo hiker I love the freedom to hike where I want as long as I want.
