Lightweight and packed with comfort-minded features, the Vasque Briza GTX hiking boots feature Gore-Tex® waterproof protection and plenty of support for weekend jaunts in the backcountry.

  • Waterproofed full-grain and suede leather uppers with air-mesh nylon panels keep boots light and breathable in warm temperatures
  • Gore-Tex® liners are seam sealed to stop water leakage while allowing moisture vapor to escape
  • Wicking nylon linings absorb this excess moisture and disperse it for fast drying
  • Gusseted, padded tongues keep out trail debris and relieve pressure across insteps from lacing
  • Padded collars add comfort around ankles; heel loops offer easy entry
  • Dual-density EVA footbeds are anatomically shaped for support
  • Molded EVA midsoles offer lightweight cushioning and flexibility for all-day comfort on the trail
  • Thermoplastic urethane shanks add rigidity for support and control on uneven surfaces
  • Vibram® Contact Lite rubber outsoles provide solid traction on varied terrain

Average weight specification is per pair, based on size 7.

Imported.

      Comments about Vasque Briza GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:

      I have a very narrow foot and never thought I'd find a hiking boot that would fit properly. This boot paired with a smartwool medium cushion sock is the perfect fit (even for those of us who have one foot that is a full half size lager than the other)!

      Headed for Alaska next month with confidence that I won't fracture my ankle this trip!!

      Great Boot!!

      Comments about Vasque Briza GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:

      I have used these boots during day hikes and have been pretty satisfied with them. They are not super flexible, but I wanted something that was sturdy and provided good ankle support and traction. My feet are never hot in them, even with the Gore-Tex. I have had some problems with the laces untying during moderate wear though.

        Comments about Vasque Briza GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:

        These boots have a narrow fit which was perfect for me. After sliding around in other boots these fit my feet snugly and comfortably. First tried them out at the Great Sand Dunes, CO. Walked right through the river and up the dunes never got my feet wet. They are warm yet breathable especially when paired with a good pair of wool socks but I also wear them around with regular socks. So far the only downside is that the lace hooks take a couple tries to force the lace into. I also added inserts for arch support. Overall nice light hiking shoe that still provides great support and traction. Great boot overall. Definitely worth the investment.

          Love these boots - great for my day hikes, no slippage of my heel or smooshing of my toes - it's so hard to find for my narrow feet but this is the holy grail for me!

          Worst hiking boot I've ever had

          By 14erbound

          from Sedalia, CO

          About Me Avid Adventurer

          Pros

          • Ankle Support

          Cons

          • Difficult Laces
          • Not Comfortable
          • Too Stiff/Not Flexible

          Best Uses

            Comments about Vasque Briza GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:

            I purchased these at the beginning of the summer. I wanted a boot that provided ankle support and they seemed to be the best fit out of the boots available at the REI ParkMeadows store due to my very narrow feet (quad A). However, after several hikes (Colorado Trail, several 14ers) they remain uncomfortable. It feels as if there is no cushion between the bottom of my foot and the rocks. I just got back from hiking Windom, Aeolus and Sunlight and after the 2nd day of hiking all of the skin on the balls of my feet peeled off in a giant blister. I've never had issues with blisters in the past.

            Disappointed in the Gore-Tex aspect of these boots. A short walk through some high wet grass in Maine, and my feet got soaked. An all-day hike in the rain with these boots would be like wearing water sandals.
