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

I bought these for a recent trip to Alaska and they were exactly what I needed!! They provided me with all day comfort for the many miles of hiking we did while being completely water proof standing at the waters edge or on those rainy Alaska days! I highly recommend this hiking boot, and would definitely buy it again! I was recommend the brand Keene by my son because of their durability, quality basspro.com
