The Vasque Breeze Low Hiking shoe is a solid hiker that won't leave your feet hot and sweaty. Built with the breathable uppers of their trail running shoes and the stable hiking boot mid- and outsole, the Breeze low gives you the confidence you need for summer backpacking and hiking. Starting the Appalachian Trail from the south? Be prepared for heat and humidity with the Airmesh and waterproof leather upper that breathes far better than the other tough hikers in its class. A Flexframe 1 plate separates the outsole from the EVA midsole, and is clearly visible through gaps in the Vibram rubber. This plate has incredible forward flex combined with torsional rigidity—letting your foot flow forward on the trail without being deflected by rocks and irregularities. Further, Vasque's high-quality DryTech footbed (which features full arch support) rests directly on the midsole EVA, which equals instant comfort and zero break-in period.
Bottom Line: The Vasque Breeze Low provides ventilation, comfort, and stability for a better hiking experience.
My husband has a short, but wide foot. We are hiking in Denali National Park later this year and he needs a good sturdy hiking boot but needs a wide width. Any suggestions about who makes a wide hiking boot. He wears a size 8 EEE width.
I have an 11 EEE - F foot and have been hiking in KEEN TARGHEE II Mid-Hiking boot for almost a year now. I've had no problem getting my flippers into them and even after they get soaked inside and out they kept their shape. There was little to no break-in time, so your husband should be able to get them on and go. All in all KEEN make some of the best footwear for the man with a more robust foot. The only down side is they do look a bit like Clown shoes when you get them on. I got over that quickly and have taken these boots everywhere. I think if they can do Northern Canada in Spring, and North Carolina in Summer they should be good for what you need. Hope that helps.
The question here is fit. European shoes tend to have narrower heels. That seems odd at first blush since many Americans are European decent. None the less I have wide feet and I like vasque as opposed to solomon and solomon is a great shoe. Look for a rigid foot bed padded tongue and rubber welt coming up in front of the toes for water and toe protection. REI is a good place to shop. Expect to pay about $100. Quality here is no place to skimp.
