I wasn't all that impressed with the Quetico Trekkers.  As BrownTrout
mentioned. my boots started comeing unglued after on thier first trip, and the bungee style shoelaces blew out on the third or fourth day.
I sent the boots back to Chota, and they reglued them, and I switched out the bungee cord for paracord, so they are ready for thier second trip.  Hope they do better.  They were comfortable enough- didn't have any issues there.I guess the traction was OK, but I remember slipping on wet rocks a few times when I didn't expect to.  As far as quick drying - mine weren't.    Boots stayed wet and "clammy".  Not saying that they are bad boots, just not worth what they cost - obviously, my opinion seems to be in the minority regarding these boots, but I would not buy another pair (nor would I throw out the ones I have)

I also have a pair of those Play Boots that db recommended, and they are really comfortable.   I've only worn them once or twice though, and not in Quetico.  With limtited experieces, I like them so far.  

I will probably give one of the NRS boots a try for my next last great solution to the great portage boot question.  Or maybe just a pair of non-waterproof lightweight hikers with nylon uppers and vibram soles, if I could find them.
