After a full day of wearing filled with standing, walking i can officially say these shoes are an all in one package. Lightweight, durable and comfortable. Washed my truck yesterday with em and my feet were DRY. Standing and moving at work feels effortless! I love how light these are! 10/10! Would buy again Mikeotto · dsw.com

I bought my 1st pair of Quest 4D boots back in 2020, and I am still wearing them to this day. (Have them on right now actually) Not sure the mileage on them, but I've worn them ALOT. I was quick to order a 2nd pair in 2021 that I slowly rotated in from time to time. Now, 6 years later, my trusty original pair are starting to show signs of wear where the toe cap is slightly separating from the boot Greg S · backcountry.com
