>>2396265nah there's nothing wrong with them. the older models were slightly better because they had metal eyelets. but it doesn't matter because you're wearing the midsole out first like any other boot. and rei will replace them.
quest 4/4d's are one of the best boots on paper (i agree with anon
>>2396314 its all about fit and the best boot is personal.) i consider it a 3+ season boot; it works great with crampons/spikes but its not insulated enough for sub 0* temps being such a light weight boot.
if you want boots that feel like shoes the solomans are the most boot-like choice. keens and merells are also good for that but they're more 3 season boots. merells aren't durable but they're the cheapest. ive had my quest 4d's since 2016 mostly used them in swampy or icy conditions and they're probably going to look brand new when the midsole hits the end of its mileage.
