Vasque Breeze GTX Hiking Boot - Women's

Item #VSQ0046 | 138 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Good gear, but not for sensitive feet.

By Ranked #484 - Women's Hiking Boots August 29, 2007

I bought my Breeze XCR Hiking Boots for my hiking trip in California, so I got to test them in Yosemite and Mt. Whiteny. My first experience with them was that they were heavy and during my short 4-5 hours hikes they managed to both blister and wound my feet. Also they did not seem very breathable to me. On my hike to Mt. Whitney I used proper hiking socks and my experience changed. The boots were breathable and in 14 hours of hiking they only moderately accentuated my wounds. They have good grip on granite type rock, but I never got to test them in wet conditions.
I would recommend these boots as long as you wear them with proper socks and you do not have very sensitive feet.
