Lightweight and absolutely NO Break In needed....
By Jeff R Clow
Ranked #1376 - Men's Hiking Boots
September 28, 2004
I hike primarily in the North Texas Hill Country around the Dallas metroplex.....uneven ground and some broken rock along with a stream jump now and then....
Purchased these because I was aware of the Vasque name and quality reputation....and because I was looking for a LIGHTER hiking boot than what I had. So far, after a week, they've pulled hiking duty perfectly. They are EXTREMELY lightweight (around 2 lbs 11 oz) and "breathe" as promised - allowing my feet (and therefore, all of my body) to feel much cooler than it has in previous hiking boots. And best of all....I wore them right out of the box for a six mile hike the first day and they felt broken in within the first 100 feet of trail. Absolutely NO break in period needed...and that alone should make them a winner to anyone considering purchasing them.
They have a wide toe box which I feel is another plus....and they look good on top of all the other pluses.
HIGHLY recommended for beginners and intermediate hikers....not much more weight than Trail Running shoes but offering much more support and much better ankle protection...from sprains and the snake that you may encounter along the trail.....
