i wanted to say how impressed i am with the salomon quest 4 d gtx boot , last yr i snapped 2 ligaments in my ankle and have just come off cruches 2 months ago , these boots are allowing me to walk on fells and have my outdoor life back , my ankle is still not great but these boots are really helping it ! , yes they are expensive but they are worth every penny , anyone recovering with a snappd ligament badly spraind ankle these are a must and u will be impressed, i also think it wud be very difficult to go over again as the support is amazing . .
