Vasque  Horizon Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots - Men's

I recently purchased these boots, At first I thought I would have to send them back because they caused blisters on the back of my heels. But I liked that they were light weight and had sticky souls for scrambling so I stuck with them, It took about 20 miles but I got them broke in to my feet. I have scrambled up rocks , walked through mud and water, and I like them no leaks my feet aren't tired so I am glad I stuck with them.

This is my third Vasque hiking boot, and by far the most comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised by the cushioned sole as the 2 older boots were quite firm. The tread is a nice design and seem so shed mud better than most other boots. They run a bit warm as there is no ventilation other than the tongue so probably not suitable for Colorado summers for me, I like to keep my feet cool. I'm a size 12.5 US so had to purchase the 13 which is a little too large, but a pair of thick socks makes the fit perfect.

I wear a size 14 mens shoe and have a low/flatter arch and narrower foot. I tried in mens size 14, both the Vasque Horizon Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot and the Moab 3 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots. The Vasque was more comfortable from the first time I tried it on. The Moab was shorter in length (even though it was also size 14). Plus it was positioning my foot so that when I was standing, I felt like I was tipping forward. I wore the Vasque nearly every day on a 12-day trip to Alaska including Denali National Park. I hiked through through small streams, on a dry rocky river bed, up steep mountains with tundra and loose rocks, and on top of snow and ice. I found the traction and grip are amazing. I did not slip once even on loose gravel going up a mountain. They are waterproof up to where the laces begin. And they required no break in time for me. I hit the trails wtihout wearing them more than 5 minutes to try them on. I know most people like the Moab's but these worked better for me.

Trail slippers? Light enough, flexible, fit well. 4th pair of Vasques - quite lighter and more day hike friendly than the long trek, hike over any terrain St. Elias boots I have.

My husband loves these boots! They are light & good for rough trails. Nice fit for him,too!

It seemed risky to buy hiking boots online, but these are amazing. I went into the store and a sales associate measured my feet and made a suggestion for which size, and they fit perfectly. Amazing value for the price, super comfortable, great shoe for an occasional hiker.

It’s a beautiful pair of boots but it’s made half size narrow. Too snug around my toes. REI is out of 9.5 size and I went ahead to buy the Merrell. I ordered it the same size 9. Sale associate told me Vasque is true to size. My shoe width is only D.

Great hiking shoe very light liked so much bought a second pair
