>>1998623I didn't see a "boots general" so I'll post my question here.
Hi /out/ I'm a /k/ommando up in the PNW. I need to get some hiking boots. Before now I've been using my Salomon Speedcross 3's but they have no ankle support and the tread is worn out. I usually went with trail runners before but now I want some better ankle support.
I loved my Salomons and heard that the Quest 4D 3 GTX is elite. Any opinions on them?
I'm not sure exactly *what* I need and that's why I'm here. Here's some info that may help.
>Fatbody, 255 lbs (but I'm down from 300)>day hikes, probably limited multi-day>carrying heavy pack often>waterproof or water resistant (it's wet in Washington, shocking I know)>Probably not much off-trail>Don't need speciality support or insoles>Probably not hiking anywhere with ice Pic related, the view from my house
