Vasque Boreas GTX Hiking Boot - Men's

Item #VSQ0092 | 5 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Solid boots.

By Ranked #31 - Men's Hiking Boots February 10, 2009

When I first tried on these boots they were extremely uncomfortable. They seemed too narrow and they felt very solid and unforgiving. But I was able to buy them for 75% off at the store I work so I figured I could use an extra pair of hiking boots. I've been breaking them in at work for about 2 weeks now and I find them oddly comfortable. But by the end of a 9 hour day I do start to notice the lack of cushion inside the boot. It feels like standing on a big slab of rubber. These boots would be awesome for backpacking in really rocky areas but IMO they would get annoying on light hikes. They are good boots but not the best at this price range.
