Vasque Taku GTX Hiking Boots - Women's
Offering trail-ready support and comfort, the Vasque Taku GTX hiking boots feature waterproof protection and lightweight performance for hikes.
- Waterproofed, 2mm thick nubuck leather uppers with air-mesh nylon panels at collars keep boots light and breathable in warm temperatures
- Beefed up rubber toe bumpers help protect uppers and feet from abrasion and premature wear; heel loops offer easy entry
- Gore-Tex® liners are seam sealed to stop water leakage while allowing moisture vapor to escape
- Wicking nylon mesh 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
- 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 plates add rigidity for support and control on uneven surfaces
- Vasque Taku GTX hiking boots have Vibram® Neo Day Hiker rubber outsoles to ensure solid traction over varied terrain

Comments about Vasque Taku GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:
I bought this product to wear for work (8-12 miles of hiking per day). Within a month, the gore-tex lining bunched up near my toes. This created sharp edges and a ridge that gave the top of my toes blisters. I returned them to the manufacturer, and they were replaced. The new pair had the same problem within a few weeks. I used to have a high amount of brand loyalty with Vasque, but now I'm looking for a new brand of boots. Vasque no longer makes durable, quality products.

Comments about Vasque Taku GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:
Finding the right boot has been a never ending saga for me. For one thing, I do not like to hike in boots. Early season in the mountains with snow still on the trail and more stream crossings or trails that are acting like streams, I want more than a trail runner. So, I wanted a lightweight, all leather, full size hiking boot with some flexibility, a wide toe box, and OK all-around comfort. This seems to be it. I put probably 300-400 miles on these in a couple months last year, and they did what I wanted them too. I don't want to have to think about my boots after I put them on or be afraid to put them back on the next day. These I wore all week for work, hiking and clearing trails, then put them right back on for a weekend recreation backpack trip. Looks like they'll hold up for another season too, with a fresh coat of mink oil to keep the leather happy and add a little more water proofing.

Comments about Vasque Taku GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:
I got these because water proof boots were recommended for Mt. Kilimanjaro. They worked great on that trek! Traction was great, they handled mud and wet well, my feet were toasty and never a hint of a blister. Only downside was my pre-trip break-in period took longer than I expected. A couple pressure point problems with the lacing... experimented with lacing techniques and resolved nicely. Well worth the patience. This is my second pair of Vasques... the first I wore for years as a wilderness ranger and they lasted through 3 re-solings.

Comments about Vasque Taku GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:
I ordered these boots after multiple failed attempts at finding the right pair and they are fantastic! I was able to immediately lace them up with no ankle or heel rubbing, plenty of toe and ball of foot room. I trudged through creeks and hiked through caves, and they have been wonderfully comfortable.

Comments about Vasque Taku GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:
These hiking boots have been great! I've been on day long hikes as well as short hikes with them and they've kept me dry and comfortable on all of them. They also provide great traction as well as ankle support and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. I even used them to do some spelunking and they kept my feet dry. When I first tried them on I didn't think they were all that comfortable, but ended up buying them because they fit the best. I ended up just buying Superfeet inserts to give myself a little more arch support and now they are extremely comfortable. They didn't require much breaking in either which was nice. I've also noticed they're great for carrying heavier loads because the sole is quite firm and gives a lot of support. I would also suggest buying at least a half a size bigger than usually (I usually wear a 9 or 9.5 and ended up buying a 10). Whether you're just doing recreational hiking or going on a major trip, I would highly recommend these boots to anyone.

Comments about Vasque Taku GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:
I love these hiking boots! I got these as a present from my parents right before I left for Alaska! I have worn them a lot in Alaska going out hiking as much as I can through the mountains! I also wore them while on a camping trip in Seward and it rained the entire trip, and my feet still managed to stay dry! I have only gotten blister once wearing them, but it was because I was not wearing wool socks.

Comments about Vasque Taku GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:
I was initially hesitant to buy such a "sturdy" shoe for summer hiking and I am so glad I did! This shoe is warm but my feet do not feel overheated. They offer wonderful support throughout the foot and ankle and are easily adjusted if feeling too much pressure in any area. I use it for both my easy weekend morning hikes and longer more intense backpacking. My feet never get tired.

Comments about Vasque Taku GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:
These boots seem so perfect but when you get down to it they won't last long enough to be worth it. I work as a field technician meaning I hike for hours a day and I got these boots in March. There is so much I love about them: no break-in time and a good supportive fit plus good waterproofing. But it all means nothing due to poor construction. It took less than two months for the rubber on the toe to start peeling off. I thought I could just get the rubber reglued but now the rubber has several splits in it. It's not worth the price to replace them every 4-6 months. Also, a coworker of mine bought some Vasque boots of a different model and hers did the same thing. Until Vasque improves the sole design or materials, I'll be staying away from their boots.

Comments about Vasque Taku GTX Hiking Boots - Women's:
I am a natural "read every review possible" type of buyer, especially for outdoor gear. I had tried on many boots, and a friend recommended these and I'm so glad I bought them! I bought them to be an all season hiking boot, and thus far they have worked pretty well for the winter.
I went snowshoeing all day in them and they held up great in the deep snow. Super waterproof, although not the warmest boots. My feet got cold but I just stuck some foot warmers in there and I was good to go. I don't think their intent is for winter, but I have used them multiple times in the snow and they are great. They're also super light weight and comfortable for such a sturdy boot.
