By Lainer from Seattle from Seattle Wa on 08/16/2008 Cons: Cumbersome, Heavy, Very stiff Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I love Vasque and have never been disappointed until now. I am 58 and an avid hiker who needs good ankle support - that is what drew me to this boot. When I tried them on, it felt like I was wearing boots made out of cement. They are heavy, stiff and cumbersome. I walked around in them for awhile and it was painful. Had to return. This has not turned me off to Vasque but I will be cautious when I pruchase again.
Tough, reliable, waterpoof boots By daera from San Jose, CA on 08/07/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Great Traction, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Day hikes, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I love these boots! I took them on an eight-day Arctic backcountry hike and they held up beautifully. Paired with Gore-Tex gaiters, they kept my feet dry through hundreds of streams and standing water bogs. They provided excellent ankle support on tough terrain, including tussok and shoe-sucking swamps. I've only had them for a few months so I can't speak to their durability, but they broke in very easily after only a few days of hiking and I look forward to taking them on more day hikes and backpacks. As other reviewers have pointed out, the rubber over the toes is a great feature because it protects the shoe from damage when going over rocky terrain. I also like the flat laces because they don't get torn up as much from gaiter hooks as round ones, and are easier to tie and untie as well. All around, this is a great shoe and an incredible deal at this price.
By dlpwaters from Duluth, MN on 07/13/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Non-slip sole, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Day hikes, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I love the toe cap on these boots. I haven't used them a lot yet, but they are very comfortable. They are a bit heavy for me, but I suppose they need to be because of how sturdy they are.
