Comments about Vasque Wasatch GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:
I bought my first pair in 2006 for a trek to Mount Everest Base Camp in Nepal. I didn't have time to break them in, but they were comfortable from the first time I wore them. Mine were the only feet in our group that stayed dry when crossing a snowy glacier.
My job as a forester has me hiking 10+ hours a day, year-round, in the Sierra. I've gone through many pairs of boots, but I keep coming back to these. I just ordered my 7th pair. Heavy? Not to me. I think they're light compared to other boots I've worn. Yes, the laces sometimes do come untied, so I automatically double-tie the bow now. No big deal.
Two of my co-workers (1 male, 1 female) wear the same boots and swear by them like I do. We get a $100 boot allowance every year from our company because the rugged terrain eats boots fast. But these still have decent wear left when I order my new pair. It's worth the additional out-of-pocket expense because I love them so much. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Comments about Vasque Wasatch GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:
I bought these boots for a study program that I did through my college in the Sierra Nevadas. I used them when hiking the Merced Crest Trail (In Yosemite) in January, and they kept my feet warm and dry when most other people's boots had soaked through. The sole was thick and rigid enough for snowshoeing, and the boots were comfortable right out of the box. They had good traction (I also have used them to hike the Upper Yosemite Falls trail on a very windy day when the trail was very slick) and remained comfortable even after long days of constant wear. These boots provide great ankle support. The only downside to these boots, is that they are very heavy. They are best for long hikes in wet weather or snow, but not great for shorter day hikes or in warm conditions because they tend to make your feet sweat if it isn't very cold.

Comments about Vasque Wasatch GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:
Purchased this woman's boot in size wide as the old standby Montrail Torre was not offered anymore, in fact is not made anymore by Montrail. I believe REI replaced the Torre with this boot, and as a hiker with wide feet/bunions, I had to go with it. This boot is not as comfortable on the foot as the Torre and took a bit longer to break in. It irritates the bunion on my left foot from time to time and the arch support is also not as good as the Torre for my foot. On the positive side, the boot is waterproof, verified by hiking in the rain, or as waterproof as a boot can be. The outside of the boot also resists wear and tear and I really put a boot through its paces. I wish that Montrail would bring its Torre back, or I wish that more bootmakers would make boots for women in size wide. But until that time arrives, I am making do with the Wasatch.

Got these Boots for preparation to climb Kilamanjaro. Started using them in local hikes to break them in for my big trip. Yes they are heavy but they are comfortable, durable and withstand harsh terrain. they have kept my feet dry and warm. if i wanted less heavy, then i'd use my hiking sneakers. ofcourse they dont provide as much ankle support as these boots
my only issue is that my laces come undone easily. i thought it was only me but reading other people's reviews- i see i am not alone.
otherwise i am happy with my choice

They were awesome boots.. until the sole spit in half near the toe. They were less than three months old.

Boots to be used "treking" in Nepal this fall. Boots are still new as I had to take a break to go on recent trip that had no hiking opportunity! Have worn them on short hikes to confirm the fit and comfort. All seems well.

Great boots - based on use so far they will be excellent for any adventure. Will update the review after hike to Mt. St. Helen's crater this summer.

I am new to hiking and these boots were my first pair. They were very comfortable even during the first hike; which was about 10 miles. They required little to no break in period and I got NO blisters. I spent more than I planned but these were well worth the money.

Comments about Vasque Wasatch GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:
I bought these shoes to replace a worn-out pair of Vasque leather boots, and I have been very happy with these boots so far! The break-in didn't take very long - just wore them around the house for a couple days, and the first 9 mile mountainous hike I did I got blisters, but none since then and it's been 2 months of wearing them hiking and in the field 2-4 days a week. They are water proof, and have held up so far in rainstorms, snow, and small creek crossings. One downside, and this isn't unique to these boots but any waterproof boot, is that they are not breathable and by the end of the day my feet are a little sweaty, but a change of socks and you are good to go again!
When these wear out, I will definitely be replacing them with another pair of Vasques boots!

Comments about Vasque Wasatch GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:
I have worn these boots while snowshoeing in the mountains and hiking at the coast. They were extremely comfortable the moment I put them on. During a moonlight snowshoe hike the temperature was in the teens yet my feet stayed warm and dry. The coast hikes were quite muddy and parts of the trail were covered in ice and I had to traverse slippery gravel...the boots provided excellent traction and excellent ankle support on uneven surfaces.
