Vasque Breeze Hiking Boot - Men's - 2007

I've been using them for about 1 1/2 mo hiking about 2 mi 3-4 times a week. They fit great from the start, no noticeable wear yet. Boots are light, and provide great traction on the loose dirt. I probably won't use them for backpacking as I have a heavier pair for that.

The Vasque Breeze boots are great hiking boots. I've hiked 150+ miles in my pair in varying terrains (from the deserts of AZ and UT to the Mtn.s of WY) and haven't had any problems. The support is great - I typically backpack with 25 lbs or less, but I've used these boots on extended trips of 1 week +, hiking with 40 lbs. They really handle loads well; I haven't had any blisters or sore feet. The durability is very good as well. After many trips in the UT deserts, they're holding up well with only minor scratches to the leather uppers and no signs of unstitching (though I've discovered red sand leaves a permanent stain in the leather). They breath better than any other pair of boots I've owned too. (I typically rotate between the Asolo Fugitive and the Vasque Breeze and have found in dry climates the Breeze is supeior in breathability). The fit is also excellent for people with narrow feet. I definitely plan to purchase another pair, possibly the GTX model.

I am old and have owned several hiking boots, but these are the best. They are the most comfortable shoe of any type I have experienced from "out of the box". I hike in North GA, Eastern TN and Western NC and have had nothing but great results form these boots. Whether these are your first pair of hiking boots or your tenth, you will choose to purchase another pair when and if you need them.

I also loved these boots, but after two long backpacking trip they were largely destroyed. The edge of the soles started to tear and the mesh on the upper boot ripped entirely. If you are not on loose scree or in the brush they may hold up better. I know that their 100m mile lifespan was a disappointment to me.

Vasque hit the target again with this Vasque Breeze Hiking Boot.
I live in the Dominican Republic and it is a hot tropical country.
I am a real estate and tourist project developer and usually have to walk in a variety on surfaces like mug, rock, grass, etc. Besides, I was a mountain hiker for the last 15 years.
These boots have responded to every surface adequately; they are soft but firm and you keep your feet dry and fresh.
If you work in a hot climate and want a boot that can keep you safe in almost any kind of surface...this is the one for you...and it is very low price tagged.

These are an excellent lightweight hikers. Good traction, solid construction, and surprisingly breathable. They fit great out of the box. Probably not great for a hardcore backpacking trip, but for the long day hike they are spectacular.

I hike primarily in the North Texas Hill Country around the Dallas metroplex.....uneven ground and some broken rock along with a stream jump now and then....

Purchased these because I was aware of the Vasque name and quality reputation....and because I was looking for a LIGHTER hiking boot than what I had. So far, after a week, they've pulled hiking duty perfectly. They are EXTREMELY lightweight (around 2 lbs 11 oz) and "breathe" as promised - allowing my feet (and therefore, all of my body) to feel much cooler than it has in previous hiking boots. And best of all....I wore them right out of the box for a six mile hike the first day and they felt broken in within the first 100 feet of trail. Absolutely NO break in period needed...and that alone should make them a winner to anyone considering purchasing them.

They have a wide toe box which I feel is another plus....and they look good on top of all the other pluses.

HIGHLY recommended for beginners and intermediate hikers....not much more weight than Trail Running shoes but offering much more support and much better ankle protection...from sprains and the snake that you may encounter along the trail.....

Overall, a very good light trail shoe that I would recommend to anyone.
The Vasque Breeze performs as advertised:
- Fits well out of the box - an understatement actually.
- Very comfortable, with a thicker sole than some other light trail shoes I have used. I would have given the shoe a 5 rating if they had made it a bit thicker though. I would be willing to trade off some weight for greater cushioning, but this is a personal preference as my feet are kind of sensitive.
- Extremely light, probably even more so than my sneakers

I think the shoe is best used during a hot summer hike on a clear trail. I read an earlier post where the reviewer mentioned that the shoe got torn up by underbrush on a desert hike and I can certainly believe this. I wouldn't call the Vasque Breeze a rugged shoe, but it is rugged enough given what it is designed for.

Overall, a great light trail shoe that most people will really like.

Right out of the box the most comfortable footwear I've ever owned. Period.

I took these Breezers on a 5 mile break-in hike and then headed straight to Joshua Tree NP in the California desert. Temperatures were in the high 80's all day, the wind was dry and the ground was hot and rocky. The Breezers truely live up to their name, seeming to pump hot air out with every step. They fit, they breath, they stick to the ground-a great hiking and light packing boot.

This is a great Boot, it fits like a glove. They were comfortable from the first time I put them on. After the first backpacking trip while wearing this boot I ordered the Breeze low too.

I totally dig the light weight of these boots. The build quality is great and they breathe really well. Since they breathe really well, expect your feet to get wet if you even quickly submerge them. I highly recommended these hiking boots.

Great full size boot for warm dry hikes. Comfy, supportive and sure footed with nice Vibram sole. A bit slippery on wet rocks.

This is a great lightweight boot. Plenty of grip and support. After 7 months of use, they're still in great shape and no problems yet to date.

Love the new Vasque hiking boots, very confortable

The wide version of this boot is great for anyone with fat feet. Mine are especially wide, which makes boot buying particularly difficult. The Breeze has plenty of room in the 6th toe area. All around, the boots are comfy and dry and provide excellent support.
