Sizing:
Feels true to size
Cons:
Not Water Resistant
Best Uses:
Day hikes, Everyday
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I took these boots almost immediately on a six day hike thru proper back country in Tasmania and was disappointed. They're fine for everyday use (which I do use them for) but couldn't offer the support for more challenging, longer hikes. They broke in TOO much and I don't feel I have good ankle support in them anylonger (owned them less than a year). They also couldn't support the added weight of a decent sized pack. I definetly need to step up to a more aggressive boot. They also couldn't take the wet (I'm from the Seattle area). The narrowness makes individual toes go numb. I took them hill hiking in Ireland and Scotland as well and rolled my ankle on uneven rocky terrain. All in all, I'd say fine for short day hikes and running errands.

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Years ago I owned a pair of Vasque mountaineering boots which I used for backpacking. I loved the boots and had them for many years. After raising a family and, once again being able to get out in the hills, I needed a pair of boots that would be comfortable, water resistant, and of good quality. I was delighted to find Vasque boots once again and knew I would be getting the quality I had experienced in the past. I love these boots. The only thing that could be improved is to have a more orthotically shaped insole with better arch support. My everyday shoes are generally shoes which really fit the foot, such as Merrel's, K-Swiss. The Vasque boot does not have that feature and, for me, it is very noticeable.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I've hiked in these boots 3 times and they already feel broken in. They are my 2nd pair of Vasque's - great for someone with flat & wide feet. I used them today in 3 inches of snow & Smartwool socks while trail running. My feet were toasty warm & comfortable. If you order 1/2 size larger you can wear your orthodics.

Pros:
Fit feel like slippers
Best Uses:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These boots were purchased blindly as a gift for my new sweetheart. She is an entry level hiker that was really interested in seeing more of the great outdoors. I've been summiting for years in the Whites, the Daks, and RMNP. I also own Vasque boots. All I had to go on for this purchase was a shoe size and my experience. We we're totally able to skip the "Break-in" mode on these boots. So far...she's given me nothing but praises on the fit, form, and function of the Micas. Currently we've been trekking through some significant snow and she has yet to get cold feet...so to speak.
