Vasque Summit GTX Backpacking Boot - Men's
Best pair of boots I've ever owned!

Bought these on sale last year at a local store... probably the most comfortable pair of shoes/boots I've ever owned. They look great and are light enough for casual wear around town or at the office. Break in time was minimal; my feet felt great on multiple day hiking trips in and around New England last summer, including a 3 day backpacking trip along the Appalachian Trail in the NH White Mountains. On that particular trip it rained hard for most of the second day; unlike my companions my feet were still warm, dry and blister free by the time we made camp that night (even after sloshing through a couple of inches of water at a few points on the trail!)

I think the boots are stiff as hell and hard to break in. I don't think they are light at all and wouldn't consider them for casual wear. These boots are obviously made for tough trips and long days. I do agree they are good in the wet going...feet stay dry and they have GREAT traction.
