I took my recently purchased Vasque Breeze XCR Hiking Boots on their first trip this past week. We were mostly day hiking in the Grandfather Mountain area of the Western North Carolina mountains. These boots were very comfortable for the entire week. Break-in was pretty much non existent. The grip provided on the trail and bare rock faces was tremendous. Even with temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s, my feet stayed nice and cool. While rock hopping the rivers my feet stayed nice and dry. I think these boots would work well for a backpacking trip as well.
