I would not say I have problems every time I use them but am starting to notice a drop in performance. Similar to their waterproofness, it started out as excellent, and I even took them on scrambles, but the tread is not very deep and the grip now has issues on grass. I'm going to try and glue the seam back together and see what happens, or return them. After some recent walks in wet conditions my left foot has stayed dry but my right foot is wet. I have since heard that they are best suited to wide-footed people and that the sides are known to crack if your feet are too narrow, or just normal. Unfortunately this is now in the past as a crack has developed in one of the seams on the right boot. I waded through streams and got wet in the rain but my feet stayed dry. There is no doubt they started out as waterproof. I have never experienced rubbing or sore spots. Despite offering great ankle support, as all boots should, they are flexible and feel as though you could almost run in them. Superb on both counts, the boots are both light-weight and very comfortable. As with any piece of kit there are good and bad points, but instead of giving a list of pros and cons, I wanted to consider each aspect in turn. They've gone pretty far over the last few months, from summer days in the Cairngorms to last weekend on a wet and muddy Dartmoor, and including 14 days continuously in Snowdonia. After nearly always using Meindl leather boots, I thought I'd try something different so a few months ago bought the Salomon Quests, which are mostly fabric.
