Salomon Quest 4D GTX Forces 2 EN
The crossbreed of a sneaker and a mountain boot is just that - works well in rough terrain, but fits like a sneaker. This means it's possible to give a good sprint if necessary. Lined with Gore-Tex and has a bit of shaft too. "Military" color scheme, i.e. black. A popular choice among many special forces etc. these days.

The crossbreed of a sneaker and a mountain boot is just that - works well in rough terrain, but fits like a sneaker. This means it's possible to give a good sprint if necessary. Lined with Gore-Tex and has a bit of shaft too. "Military" color scheme, i.e. black. A popular choice among many special forces etc. these days.
Features
Because we live in the 2000s, the features & materials have all sorts of flashy names ending with ® and ™. However, here's a down-to-earth rundown of the boot. First the new features of the Forces 2:
- Lamella features on tread lugs for even better grip
- Models with EN suffix have nail-protected soles (EN ISO 20344:2011)
- Instep reinforcement for rope descents
- More sizes available
The good ol' features are still there:
- Non-marking, stiff sole with a very intricate cushion midsole and rough tread pattern.
- Upper made of nubuck leather and Cordura.
- Inner lined with breathable fabric.
- Between the layers sits the Gore-Tex membrane.
- Cushioned, porous insole.
- Traditional lacing with lace locks in the middle. The upper eyelets are made of metal.
- Weight for one shoe about 600-700 grams, depending on the size.

Below is the official measuring guide for Salomon footwear.
Tools:
- Use a shoe box or a wall with a 90° angle.
- Find a sheet of paper or a sheet of cardboard, a ruler and a pen.
What should you do next?
- Make sure that you are wearing the same socks that you would normally wear with this type of boot.
- Wearing these socks, stand on the sheet of paper and place the outside of your foot against the wall or place your foot in the shoe box with your heel wedged firmly against the back.
- Then use your pen and ruler to draw a line just in front of your big toe.
- Measure the distance between the wall or the side of the shoe box and the line that you have just drawn.
- Find this measurement in millimetres in the drop-down box. If you fall between sizes, pick the larger one.
Care of Gore-Tex Boots
We recommend that you read our shoe and bootcare article. You should not use the regular shoe polish for gore-tex boots and shoes, instead use the stuff specifically designed for them. Regular grease/polish can block the holes in the membrane after which they won't breathe anymore.
Made in Cambodia, but with some pretty tough specs.
Manufactured by Salomon
Known for sports & hiking shoes and boots, Salomon also makes black and non-reflective military footwear under Salomon Forces. As one could imagine, they are a great mix of military requirements and sports shoe features, which certainly isn't a bad thing. These are worn by military special forces units and law enforcement officers around the world.
Salomon gives a 2-year warranty for their shoes and boots.

Haix Pro R malliin verrattuna suurimmat edut ovat pohjan pito, sillä Haix pohjat menivät vaarallisen liukkaiksi jo pikkupakkasilla, joten talvella olivat vaarallinen vaihtoehto. Askellus tuntuu myös hiukan tarkemmalta Salomonin kengissä.
Näiden kahden kengän eroa kestävyydessä on vaikea sanoa tässä vaiheessa. Pro R kesti 3 vuotta ennen kuin pohja halkesi, Käyttö molemmilla kengillä on ollut samanlaista.

Miinuksena vain pari asiaa:Kengät kesällä vähän liian kuumat ja järeät nauhat eivät pysy normi solmuilla kunnolla kiinni.

Vuoden päivitys: Tiivistetysti arvion tähdet tulevat hyvistä kävelyominaisuuksista ja vedenpitävyydestä. Kengässä itsessään ei varmaan ole mitään vikaa, se ei vain ole minua varten.
Kyseinen kenkä ei oikeastaan sovi itselleni. Jalkine on hiostavin mitä ikinä olen jalkaani ikinä laittanut, jos kumisaappaita ei lasketa. Ainoa asia, joka vähentää ongelmaa taitaa olla alkuperäinen Ortholite-pohjallinen, joka ei valitettavasti minun askellukselleni käy. Muita pohjallisia käyttäessä hikoaa jalka puolessa tunnissa läpimäräksi, ja Gore-kenkänä tämä ei kuivu koskaan. Talvella myös hämmentävän kylmä. Oma kenkäparini myös muuttui parissa kuukaudessa mustasta homeisen vihertäväksi, nupukki nimenomaan. Näyttää rumalta eikä ole musta.
Pohja on pitävä ja kenkä rullaa todella hyvin maastosta riippumatta. Se onkin ainoita positiivisia huomioita noin vuoden käytön jälkeen. Kun alkuperäiset, säälittävät rimpulanauhat vaihtoi pois, saa kengät myös todella tiukasti kiristettyä; nilkka ei pääse pyörimään ympäri pahemmallakaan virheaskeleella. Kenkää mainostetaan vedenpitäväksi ja sitä se todella on. Huuhtelin maastopäivien jälkeen usein liat pois vesiletkulla, ja neste pysyy kyllä ulkopuolella vailla vuotoja.
