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
