I bought these boots because they don't have a membrane and I needed something to wear in hot and dry climate. Not as cool and well ventilated as I hoped, but that is due/thanks to the comfortable padding. Good grip and very rigid so they support the foot well. A bit time consuming to tie - hooks like the ones Lundhags use are much quicker. Will soon try them out "for real" in hot & dry but so far I have only had them in Swedish winter/spring weather.

3rd pair of these boots I’ve owned and will definitely keep coming back. Super comfortable and sturdy.

The construction of the boot is excellent, however I have found over the last couple of months of use I find the plastics used in the boots to be very stiff, the foot is naturally flexible however the boot doesn't lend itself to aid in that movement, and the boot I find is too heavy, a military style boot needs protection in the toes, ankles and heels which the quest 4D provides but without the flexibility, it doesn't combine well with the movement of the foot it almost acts as a separate entity to the foot, this boot would be great over rocky terrain, like you might find in Norway some parts of the the Falklands or the mountains of Afghanistan. But an all round combat/military boot it isn't, it's far too stiff and heavy a construction to be flexible enough to run a 8 or 10 mile combat fitness test or for urban warfare, but. A military boot needs to fit like a glove and work with the foot not against it, it has to work in all conditions and all terrains and all situations, and the stiffness and weight of the Quest 4D forces 2 limits it's use to only a few. I give it three stars,because it doesn't cover all the bases just a few.
