Vasque Sundowner GTX Backpacking Boot - Men's

Item #VSQ0021 | 101 in Stock
2 Star Rating

Miss the good old days...

By Ranked #7 - Men's Backpacking Boots January 2, 2009

I'm severely disappointed that Vasque chose long ago to move production of this boot from Italy to China. I owned a pair of the Italian-made sundowners and they were great. In the day of the sundowner and the skywalk, Vasque was THE boot to have. Sundowners are a legendary name on the trail and I think anyone purchasing a pair now will feel disappointed, to say the least. You can tell the difference between the old and new by simply looking at them. I give them two stars only for the memories I have of the better days. I now own a pair of Sundowner MX2's (made in Italy) and I am once again in love!
