Comments about Vasque Mantra Cross-Training Shoes - Women's:

Wow havent had it a year and I now need to get a new boot, this one has already worn out. My feet feel every rock on the trail - good for light hiking if you want to buy a new boot once a year. I got new insoles from REI and still not enough cushion. I would consider Ive hike maybe 30 - 40 miles in them total.

good rock scrambling shoe

Comments about Vasque Mantra Cross-Training Shoes - Women's:

So far I have used this shoe for some short hikes (2-3hrs) over rocky terrain and all day field research. They provided good traction while I scrambled over big rocks in the desert and were still comfortable after a hot day in the field (I tend to blisters). The upper leather looked worn pretty quickly which I didn't like. I have a wide foot and they feel a little narrow. (Normally I'm a 6.5, this shoe I got in a 7, I'm thinking b/c of the width). With a normal/narrow foot they should be true to size though, coz they're a bit long for my feet.

Not good for hiking

    Comments about Vasque Mantra Cross-Training Shoes - Women's:

    I bought this show because I was looking for a good lightweight hiking shoe for summer. But the first time I tried it, I had to cut my hike short after only three miles on pretty easy terrain. It doesn't rub, and the shoe is comfortable, but it barely has any cushioning.

    This shoe would probably be fine for city walking and light hiking, but not for much else.

    Exactly what I needed for light hiking

      • Mixed Terrain

      Comments about Vasque Mantra Cross-Training Shoes - Women's:

      I've been a hiker and backpacker for over 30 years. I have always used mid-height all-leather boots because I liked the stability, but I decided to try a trail shoe for light hiking. I was a little hesitant to do this because I have put on some pounds in my later years and am a bit heavyset, but I have no regrets so far.

      I've had these two weeks, including 4 days of hiking various terrain in Death Valley National Park. I found them comfortable and stable, with no problems at all with hotspots or blisters. At the end of hikes, I usually pull off my boots for more comfortable shoes, but I found myself choosing to keep these on. They aren't clunky and have a casual enough look that I was fine wearing them to restaurants for dinner.

      The only down side I noticed: on a trail consisting entirely of large gravel, I did feel the rocks a little bit through the sole of the shoe. It wasn't uncomfortable, just different from what I am used to with a heavier boot.

      They were perfect once I got some custom insoles in them. Wear them daily to work and walk an average of 3-5 miles per day.

          I am so bummed I bought these! They felt fine when I tried them on in the store. But on the trail - that was another story! No cushioning. That's the bottom line. I used to be a big fan of Vasque. Not anymore.

            mantra is great ! good looking shoe with excellent traction. my 95 pound dog sometimes pulls me down trails, but i can keep up wearing these comfy shoes. reminds me of mocassins...nimble like a runner, but more of an outdoor sport shoe. great for hiking canyons & rocks. fits like a glove! nice!
