A rugged backpacking boot featuring a 4D Advanced Chassis for ultimate stability on the most technical multi-day routes.

As you prepare to head out into the wilderness, you need a boot that is as resilient and adventurous as you are. The Salomon Quest 5 GORE-TEX Mens Shoes is designed specifically for those multi-day backpacking trips where the terrain is unpredictable and the demands on your feet are high. You’ll feel the difference of the 4D Advanced Chassis technology, which provides you with ultimate stability and support on the roughest trails while still allowing your foot to roll naturally for a more fluid stride. Whether you are trekking through a sudden downpour or crossing a muddy stream, the GORE-TEX membrane ensures your feet stay dry and comfortable. 

This 5th edition boot is built to last, acting as a reliable partner for your most ambitious mountain journeys.

Key Features

  • Lightweight: Each boot weighs 595g, prevents leg fatigue and ensures fluid movement on multi-day treks, offering high-level protection without the heavy, clunky feel.
  • 12mm Drop: For a balanced, cushioned feel.
  • 4D Advanced Chassis: This specialised plastic construction provides you with extra stability and support on uneven ground without compromising your freedom of movement.
  • All Terrain contaGRIP: Gives you maximum durability and grip whether the ground is wet, dry, hard, or loose.
  • GORE-TEX Membrane: Keeps your feet fully waterproof from the outside while remaining breathable to manage moisture from the inside.
  • EnergyCell Midsole: A high-performance ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam that absorbs shock, protecting your joints from impact during long days with a heavy pack.
  • SensiFit Construction: Cradles your foot from the midsole to the lacing system to give you a secure, snug, and customised fit.
  • Moulded OrthoLite Sockliner: Matches the contours of your foot to provide superior cushioning and breathability for all-day comfort.
  • Nubuck Leather and Ripstop Fabric: High-quality materials selected for long-term wear, durability, and resistance to tearing or abrasion.
  • Toecap and Mudguard: Wraps around the base and front of the foot to protect you from sharp rocks and trail debris.
  • Gusseted Tongue: Prevents debris from entering your boot and keeps the tongue centred for ongoing comfort. 

The boot provides moderate cushioning utilising EnergyCell technology, a high-performance EVA foam that provides superior shock attenuation. It also includes a moulded OrthoLite sockliner that matches the contours of your foot for upgraded breathability and comfort.

Yes. Salomon officially lists snow and alpine terrain as suitable environments for the Quest 5. The GORE-TEX membrane keeps moisture out, and the All Terrain contaGRIP is designed to maintain traction on cold or loose surfaces.

The Quest 5 is officially listed with a regular or standard width. However, the SensiFit technology is designed to wrap the foot securely, providing a snug fit for various foot shapes within that regular width profile.
