Vasque Celerator Trail Running Shoe - Men's
Not Up to Par...

I wore these shoes for the last section of my A.T. thru-hike. I bought them in Massachusetts and before I had logged 50 miles on them the mesh was separating from the sole in the toe-box on both sides of each shoe. They continued to separate on each side until I had gaping 2 inch holes between the sole and mesh in two places on each shoe, clearly a manufacturing error. I tried to get Vasque to swap them out on the trail but they would not mail me a new pair until I had returned the defective pair. I had to wear them all the way to Katahdin with huge holes in them! When I returned home I did file a claim with Vasque and they replaced the shoes with the same pair, but that is little help since I have no faith in this pair of shoes.

Sorry to hear that. Sounds miserable. Add a suitable adhesive to your repair kit next time. The belt-and-suspenders type will carry a backup pair of shoes/boots as well. Huh? These have a Gore-Tex membrane (tech-specs)? I don't think so...
