        Comments about Vasque Breeze 2.0 Mid GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:

        I use this for both hiking around Red River Gorge and for long days when I'm standing all day. There are quite comfortable even during break in and are a good weight compared to my last boot. The water proofing is fantastic and I pretty well just don't worry about them ever.

        The only downside is that they slide easily when wet. This could just be a mold release agent on the rubber that needs to come of through use but be careful early on.

        Otherwise great boot and I would recommend it to other people.

            Bought this boot for hiking and light backpacking. Initial impression is this is a comfortable, lightweight, secure feeling boot. Haven't taken it out on a hike yet but on the way home from purchasing stopped and laced em up and went for a 2 mile walk and they felt great, like I had been wearing them for weeks. Look forward to getting them into the woods!

              Like the title says so far, so good. I came from the Merrell Moab to this boot. It's very comfortable laced up tight for the trail. Also doubles as a good camp boot. They feel like a soft pillow around my feet when combined with a good pair of hiking socks. Excellent lacing setup as well.

              So far they've been on a three mile backpacking trip with a 45 pound load and were great. No hint of soreness, blisters or raw spots anywhere on my feet. Also took them on a six mile hike with a light daypack and had absolutely no problems. Also they are actually waterproof. Although I do wish the Gore-tex liner came up farther on the ankle support. Overall an excellent product that I would highly recommend to anyone.

                After 20 years of use in my old Vasque Sundowners, it was time for new boots. I knew my new boots were going to be Vasque...just had to choose the best boot for me. I have enjoyed my new Breeze 2.0 Mid GTX Hiking Boots immensely...hiking all day in total comfort and security...not too hot or too cold...just right. They remind me of a pair of boots I purchased 20 years ago...

                My first real hiking boots. Very happy with the fit (size 12). Tried on 4 or 5 pairs of various name brands and the Vasque was the only one that was perfect. Has performed well on a number of hikes up to about 5-6 miles. Traction on rocks is great, waterproof function works well, and ankle support is very good. Feels a little heavy, but it's not marketed as lightweight, and I specifically wanted a sturdy boot to give ankle support and avoid rollover, and those are high points of this boot. I plan to give them lots of use this summer and expect they will serve me well. I would recommend them.

                    This product fit me perfectly once I found it was available in a 'wide'.

                    Service and delivery comments:

                    I made this purchase at my local store in Durham, NC and the service was terrific. I went in on a very busy day, but sales associates were giving excellent service, multitasking appropriately when possible. After trying on the standard width, my salesperson made a special effort to find the same boot in a 'wide' for me, and it fit perfectly.

                      Comments about Vasque Breeze 2.0 Mid GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:

                      I recently went on a 4 day backpacking trip to Zion National Park. Before that I had probably hiked in these boots about 60 miles, and then I added another 40 in Zion. After 100 miles they still look great, I haven't gotten a single blister yet, and my feet have survived. I give them 4 stars instead of 5 because it felt like I was getting a blister on my heels, although I never did. Maybe it was just some weird pressure.

                      As far as I can tell these shoes are waterproof, however I hike in tall grass that regularly reaches above my knees and even soaks through my gators, so the times I have had wet feet I blame on the water running down my legs. That said the boots get very heavy and retain water on the outside of the boot.

                      Service and delivery comments:

                      I was told that buying superfeet insoles with my shoes would help a lot. They almost made me return my shoes, but I decided to go back to the regular insoles. The regular insoles are far more comfortable.

                          My son & I both got these boots for our scout high adventure trip to Philmont scout ranch in Cimmeron NM. They are the most comfortable boots! I used to always were my tennis shoes most days and now I wear my boots almost all the time! So far they have held up well - will let you know if that changes after our 2 week hike/camp in the mountains!
