Vertigo High

By dwillisdrake Ranked #1093 - Women's Footwear March 23, 2009

It's maiden voyage was a 40 mile hike around the Grand Canyon. I had about 50 lbs. on my back and probably could have used a boot with a bit more support. Otherwise, as a light backpacking boot it's fantastic!! I have a narrow size 10 foot and the size 10 boot fits great. I also needed an after market high-arch in-sole support rather than the manufacturers support. Plenty of toe wiggle and my heel stayed where it belonged. Once I lighten my pack a bit, closer to 40 lbs., this boot will work out nice. All-in-all the boots a keeper. If I were to continue backpacking with a pack even close to 50 lbs. though I'll have to go with a more supportive boot. Oh, and the eVent liner rocks, very breathable for desert environments, much better than gore tex.
