As good as my first
Bought a pair of hardshell hikers in the mis '80's. The hardness put me off. All I could think of was the blisters I would get the first hike. As it turned out, the boots were surprisingly comfortable, especially with a pair of thick socks.
Recently bought a pair of Skywalkers. The fit is about the same, plus the very much appreciated Gore-Tex liner. The first hike in either pair did not bring blisters.
On the contrary, I trust(-ed) both pair to take care of my feet. The Sjywalkers are a little bit more comfy.
The only thing I would change is the ability to have the soles replaced.

Had these in the 90's
Greatest boots that I ever bought in my life. Felt good wearing them. Amazing styles and colors that can combinate with different clothing. Please come out with the different colors and I will buy them all.

lightweight and comfortable
I bought my first and only pair of Vasque Skywalk hiking boots in 1987. I only wear them a few days out of each year when hiking and treking around when it snows or working in the yard in muddy conditions. These boots fit nicely and are so lightweight and comfortable that I sometimes forget that they are not my everyday dress shoes. This past year the soles have finally started to separate but nothing some good adhesive cannot easily repair. I hope to get more years out of this pair.

So far so good!
I brought the all black pair and the brown and green pair that were out in 2008 and i honestly can say these look and feel much better. Ive been getting all types of stares cause of how good these boots look. Im still trying to understand why the soles were made much thicker but other than that im very happy with my boots

They can take serious use in the woods
I went to a guide and outfitter school in montana and bought these boots. and they stood the test and were comfortable......... going down slippery slopes hunting the heel design is fantastic and works very well.

Vasque Skywalk Boot
I had a pair of these in the 90's and then they stopped making them. When I saw that they were back, I ordered them that day. These are hands down the best boot I've ever owned. Super easy break in period, supportive, light enough weight, great water/snow protection. I would recommend this boot to anybody. I usually wear an 11 1/2 or a 12. A 12 is what I ended up going with in this boot.
Buy this boot and you will NOT regret it.

Would anyone recommend these boots for 3 weeks on the JMT? If not please provide suggestions.
Although these are great day hiking boots they would not be the best option for a trip of that length. For a trip of that length, we recommend a backpacking boot that has a bit more support and are designed to carry heavier loads. Below is a list our men's backpacking boot options:

Is it possible to order the wider width available from Vasque?
We are not able to place special orders here at REI.com.

Hi there, do these boots fit true to size? Or should I size up or down? Thanks!
These boots do fit true to size. We recommend ordering about half a size up from your normal shoe size to allow for some extra space in the toe box.

Back in the '80s and '90s these boots came in a narrow (B) width. How does the width of this "revived" version compare to that of the original? How does it compare to other Vasque all-leather models in general?
These boots are a standard width and are wider than the narrow B width that was sold with previous models. These boots are strong and sturdy and are a great choice for someone looking for a boot with a lot of support.

Can they be re-soled? In one of the reviews, someone said that they could not. I have an old pair that I purchased in the 80's. Still good except the soles are very worn. Might consider re-soling if reasonable.
These boots can be re-soled. Vasque recommends sending the boots into Dave Page, Cobbler.
