SALOMON FORCES RANGE
Soldiers and professionals need dedicated equipment to operate in hostile environments, beginning with footwear. In addition to year-round comfort, outstanding traction in changing terrain, footwear for armed forces and law enforcement units must be stable, durable enough for intense conditions, and provide complete weather protection. Salomon’s FORCES Footwear 2021 program includes specific versions of some of our highest performance models, dedicated to the needs of Special Operations Forces professionals in the field.
When your operation takes you into the most rugged terrain, the QUEST 4D GTX FORCES 2 EN gives you the support and grip of a mountain boot, but still has the flexibility to take a knee or sprint to position in tough conditions.

comfort keeps wearers fully concentrated on their job which increases situational awareness.

Good video. Id recommend turning the volume down on the background music. It was a tiny bit challenging to clearly hear what you were saying over the guitar solo that played almost the entire time.
Thank you for feedback! Will do it!
Advertising is advertising, but I will share my personal experience. I don't know about Salomon Forces, but Lowa TF (I have Lowa Z-6n GTX and Lowa Zephyr Mid GTX TF) is very slippery on surfaces like metal, wet metal, tiles, wet or winter concrete, wet rocks and ice. At the same time, the Prabos Phantom showed better grip in the city on surfaces such as metal, wet metal, tiles, wet or winter concrete, wet stones and ice, there is also an anti-puncture layer inside.
Also, the model has a minimum number of seams, which has a positive effect on strength. Of the minuses, in my opinion, I can note less amortization, which can be compensated by special insoles. I would recommend adding the Prabos range to your store - it's a pretty interesting company. Most importantly, they manufacture footwear in the Czech Republic, not China, Vietnam, etc. The quality of workmanship is excellent. Personally, I noticed the best quality in shoes made in Germany, Italy, the USA and the Czech Republic. It is produced, and not in the country of the brand. Shoes from China, Vietnam and even from Romania(some models of Haix) and Slovakia(Lowa Zephyr), which were either poorly glued or had a worse quality of seams and fell apart faster. Just facts.
I am ready to overpay for shoes made in Europe or the USA and be confident in the quality and durability, as opposed to reducing the cost of production and moving factories to China, Vietnam, etc.
British boots brands are also excellent quality and very well made.
Thank you for your detailed feedback!
@@Legionnaire7777 Absolutely!
I bought exactly the same in green color Salomon boots before 8 months.... I was trying over than 15 different boots the last 30 years.. These are ONLY THE BEST,,,,EVER.....
Wow, you've amaizing experience!
What jacket is that?
if i wear size 44 should i buy it 44 or 44,5 or 45 ?
great video.....what brand is the jacket?
Thank you so much! Carinthia ISG 2.0 jacket.
@@Militaryshoplv Thank you, I was going through the comments to see if someone else was wondering that :)
Clearly you advertise them, so here is my experience:
The Salomons 4D Forces are among my favourite boots, but... I have returned 2 pairs of Mk1 in 3 years with major sole defects and GTX failure. I am now on my 3rd pair, the Mk2 let's say, and I nootice that also in this 2nd version the sole is not as good as it should be. To fair, Salomon replaced the boots 2 times without a problem because of their 2 yr warranty, so that is nice. But it is a big flaw on these boots. And ok, I use these boots hard, but that is why I have the Forces version and not the Tourist as you call them. So for the harder jobs I always use my military Meindl Island Pro MFS boots, indestructable and reliable.
The Z6N I find is way lighter that Salomon and not as cushioned, the Salomon truly has a sneaker feeling to it.
Have you tried Lowa Z-6N boots ? Thank you for your detailed experience! Manufacturer support - it's worth it!
@@Militaryshoplv yes I have. The mid gtx version. I think they miss the cushioning of the Salomon or even their brand family member the Lowa Renegade. It's a tough shoe, but not as comfy as others out there.
@@den_bosmens_outdoor Thank you so much for your experience!
I’ve given up on salomons.... still the comfiest boot out the box but i was burning through at least 2 pairs a year . They are not what they used to be on the quality front. I’m lowa all theway now... non goretex zephyr for hot dry sandy shite holes and z-8s for normal use both with sorbothane insoles. I’m getting 2 years out the lowas ..... but as you said about meindl i have some that must be 10yrs old and still going strong.
@@Dan-wo4bx totally agree. I now have three pairs of Meindl and they rock. Indestructible boots and if the sole wears out I get them resoled.
Also looking at a pair of Lundhags shell boots at the moment.
From another comment I've seen, supposedly the quest 4d forces have a more durable 1000D cordura fabric vs the regular quest 4.
Useless video, basically just a Solomon promotional video. Doesn't really do any analysis or comparison between the two boots. He just says that they are the same. Also, the music is too loud - I had to use closed captions.

BUYER BEWARE: I never review but have been looking for a tactical boot for a long time now. Out in the country we cant just go to the store to try them on so I have to purchase online and send back non-stop.
This Salomon Quest 4GTX forces boot "DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT AND IS VERY UNCOMFORTABEL" on the inside, inner sidewall/side arches. The OUTER PIECE USED FOR FAST ROPE is nice HOWEVER you can definitely feel the bulky stitching on the inside of the boot footbed side arch area and it feels terribly very uncomfortable.
Does anyone have this same problem?? I literally purchased 5 pairs but kept sending them back thinking the were defective. I thought it was the individual pair but it was all of them. The fast rope piece travels down and is stitched inside and it can 100% be felt on the inner part of the boot where the lumpy stitching on the side meets the footbed/arch area. Definitely feel it like a lump/bump inside the inner wall arch area. I am literally sending this 5 pair back for a refunds this week because none feel right and they all feel like your walking on a lump under the insole.
Anyone feel the same thing or have this issue? If so what boot did you guys go with?
PS: I never write reviews but have been soooo fed up trying to find a pair. Arcteryx is great but their boots are to narrow and your heel sits too high,. Salomons feel like they have a lump under the insole. Danner, in a hiking low to mid boot, ONLY HAS BROWN not balck. Ect Ect..
Salomon is made Chinese... Lowa in Europe with much better standard and quality. I had both models, the lowa lasted 6 years, the Salomon only 3 years with the same level of use...
lol, there are no mountains in Latvia.
We can travel around World 😁

What store you bought these ?
Directly from Salomon.
Noticed exactly the same problem
Boots are new, right out of the box that they brought along on canoe trip and clearly have never been on anyone's foot. Nothing of value here to see.
He's telling about his Quest 4D outdoor version a lot of his experience and tell about updates for task force. Check that guy in Nomad.lv, his expedition/hunting/field experience. He's very knowledge!
@@Militaryshoplv I understand That he may be very experience. However, how about actually putting some boots on your feet before you make a review of them and try to sell them. I’m certainly not impressed.
@@fletcherbrown728 What excatly you would like to hear from him with foots on knees at review ? If he was on feets Quest outdoor model, doesnt mean he didnt tryied Quest 4D GTX EN2 forces.
@@fletcherbrown728 He tryied this model. If he doesnt fit on knees in review, it doesnt mean he doesnt tryied them.

In this year the 100th anniversary of #CCP, thrilled to know Salomon is now owned by Anta of China #MadeInChina2025 #BeltAndRoad #BeijingOlympics2022 #OccupyMars2024
Thank you for sharing this. Will avoid Salomon from now
