Which Salomon Should You Choose?
Maximum Support
Choose the Quest 4D Forces 2 range if support and stability are your main priorities. Its more substantial construction is particularly suited to rough terrain, prolonged use and carrying additional weight.
Higher Ankle Support
The Quest Tracker High GTX offers the greatest ankle coverage in our current range. It is ideal if you prefer the security and protection of a taller boot while retaining GORE-TEX waterproofing.
Best All-Round Waterproof Boot
The Quest Tracker GTX offers a strong balance of support, waterproofing and all-terrain capability, making it a versatile choice for walking, hiking and demanding outdoor use.
Lightweight Waterproof Option
The X Ultra Tracker GTX is a lighter alternative to the Quest models. It suits users who cover more ground and want waterproof protection without the weight of a more substantial boot.
For Mud & Loose Ground
The Forces Speedcross 6 offers the most aggressive low-cut grip in the range. For similar terrain with ankle support and waterproofing, look at the Cross Hike Tracker GTX.
For Maximum Agility
The Forces Speed Assault 2 is the lightweight choice for customers who prioritise rapid movement, flexibility and low weight rather than waterproofing or ankle support.
Understanding Salomon Footwear
GORE-TEX
Models marked GTX incorporate a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane. These are the models to choose if you regularly encounter rain, wet grass, mud and changing weather conditions.
Non-GORE-TEX
Non-GORE-TEX models prioritise airflow and breathability. They can be particularly useful in warmer or drier conditions, or during high levels of activity.
Quest vs X Ultra
Quest footwear generally offers a more substantial and supportive construction. X Ultra models are lighter and place greater emphasis on mobility and faster movement.
Mid vs Low Cut
Mid-cut boots provide additional ankle coverage and support. Low-cut models such as the Speedcross 6 and Speed Assault 2 give greater freedom of movement and lower weight.
Contagrip®
Salomon uses Contagrip® outsole technology throughout much of the range. Different tread designs are used depending on the intended terrain, from aggressive soft-ground grip to more versatile mixed-terrain patterns.
Forces Models
Salomon Forces footwear takes technology from the brand's walking and trail-running ranges and adapts it for more demanding professional and outdoor use.
Salomon FAQs
Which Salomon boot offers the most support?
The Quest models are the most support-focused footwear in our current range. The Quest 4D Forces 2 provides a particularly stable platform, while the Quest Tracker High GTX provides additional ankle coverage because of its taller construction.
Which Salomon boots are waterproof?
Models marked GTX use a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane. In our current range this includes the Quest 4D Forces 2 GORE-TEX, Quest Tracker GTX, Quest Tracker High GTX, X Ultra Tracker GTX and Cross Hike Tracker GTX.
What does GTX mean?
GTX indicates that the footwear uses a GORE-TEX waterproof and breathable membrane.
What is the difference between Quest 4D Forces 2 and Quest 4D Forces 2 GORE-TEX?
The main difference is waterproofing. The GORE-TEX version incorporates a waterproof membrane, while the standard Quest 4D Forces 2 offers greater breathability and is better suited to customers who do not require complete waterproof protection.
What is the difference between Quest and X Ultra Salomon boots?
Quest models have a more substantial, support-focused construction and are particularly well suited to rough terrain and prolonged wear. X Ultra footwear is lighter and generally better suited to customers prioritising agility and faster movement.
Which Salomon is best for muddy ground?
The Forces Speedcross 6 is the strongest low-cut option for soft and muddy terrain because of its aggressive outsole. If you want similar off-road capability with a mid-cut boot and waterproof protection, the Cross Hike Tracker GTX is a strong alternative.
Which Salomon is best for lightweight walking?
The X Ultra Tracker GTX is a good option if you want a waterproof mid-cut boot without the more substantial feel of the Quest range. For maximum agility and minimal weight, the Forces Speed Assault 2 is the lightest style in our current range.
Should I choose a mid-cut boot or low-cut shoe?
A mid-cut boot provides additional ankle coverage and support and is generally better suited to rough terrain or prolonged walking. Low-cut Salomon footwear provides greater mobility and is better suited to customers prioritising speed, agility and lower weight.
Are Salomon boots suitable for hiking?
Yes. Several models in our range are designed around Salomon's established hiking and trail footwear platforms. The Quest Tracker, Quest 4D Forces 2, X Ultra Tracker and Cross Hike Tracker are all particularly well suited to demanding outdoor terrain.
