With the lightweight design of a running shoe and the reliable stability of a hiking boot, the Quest Element GTX allows us to go further, faster.. Higher boot and leather allow you to pass through rocks and bushes and patented chassis technology allows our ankles to move like this as if we were walking on smooth, solid ground. This couple equipped with a GORE-TEX air membrane, prevents water and sweat from penetrating our socks as we cross streams and climb steep slopes.
