I purchased these shoes to replace some Altras that simply did not hold up as well as I thought they should. I have to say I am sad to see Vasque going away. I have used their shoes/boots for many years and many miles on the PCT. These shoes appear well constructed and felt great from the get go. I put them to the test on a recent backpacking trip and they were great! I found them very comfortable and sturdy. Again, it is unfortunate that the quality built into these shoes and other Vasque shoes I have worn in the past is going away forever.
Comfortable, great fit, and sturdy
Good hiking boot not a hiking shoe, too stiff will require breaking in like a boot.
Great fit and style--really happy after a few weeks.
Ordered on line and at delivery found them very narrow, and made of material with very little give / stretch. Tried on and immediately returned to REI.
Nice sturdy leather low ankle hiking shoes; truly waterproof. Used it twice and fits perfect; however, needs to be worn a few more times to break-in.
