Vasque

Breeze Hiking Boot - Women's

I love these boots

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

9.5

I’ve had them for a couple of months and I love them. They were comfortable immediately and didn’t need to be broken in. They provide great support for weak ankles but are still light and somehow not hot on summer hikes. The color was more red than I was expecting, but it’s still muted.

Short shoe laces

I bought the new breeze 6 months ago and had to change the shoe laces. My old breeze has a 60 inch lace. The new breeze ls 56 inches. The lace is too short. Go back to a 60 inch lace!! The toe box is also lower than the breeze III-the top of my toes hit the top of the toe box, especially going down hill. And the sole has much less support than the breeze III. Cutting corners is very apparent in the new Breeze and is not appreciated.

Love these!

I'm so happy with this model. I really needed a good pair of hiking boots, not just trail runners, and these were great when I tested them for the first time. They're super comfortable and durable. I tend to like a wider shoe, so I just wore thin Darn Tough socks with them and they were fine. Good tread and definitely waterproof.

Helped feet with lots of issues

I love love love this boot. I have lots of inherited foot deformity and neurological issues. This boot fits. It’s light weight. Stable. And water resistant. It wears well even with a less than perfect step pattern. Thank you for making this amazing boot!

Falling apart.

I've owned these for about a year. The front rubbery top over the toe is peeling off. Two brackets have broken. The shoelace fell apart after months of getting it into the bracket to lace them. Comfortable, but not worth it.

Not waterproof

I had to get a pair of boots for my new job. I work at a greenhouse and am on my feet for 9 hours a day, pulling very heavy (900#) carts up to 15 miles a day. I was excited when I found the Vasquez woman's breeze. Loved the color, and they were the perfect width of I went up a size. Although the VERY flat soles made my feet hurt, I was mostly satisfied my first day wearing them. Unfortunately they aren't waterproof whatsoever. Every day I get home, take my boots off and find my socks wet. No, it's not sweat.... It's where the mesh parts are on the top of the shoe. Pan to today. I worked 2 days ago. Here I am getting ready for work, go to put my boots on, and they are STILL WET INSIDE! THATS 48 HOURS! It's summer, it's not humid, they should be bone dry even if they were wet. I'm super disappointed in these boots. The only thing I'm actually happy with is how light weight they are. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with them because I can't afford a new pair of boots.

New breeze

I bought a new pair because my old breeze 111 was g Ed tgg th ing older but these boots aren’t anything like the old breeze 111. I wear a wise to get more toe box room for my foot with a bunion. But the new model isn’t as wide putting pressure there. I had to return them . I’m so disappointed I really love my breeze 111 I’ve had three pairs . Please change them back

Nothing close to waterproof

My boots were brand new and I wore them once for a day hike last week. There was still some snow left in the trail, but I told myself it didn't matter as I was wearing brand new waterproof boots. I was so wrong. After just a few hours, my feet were soaking wet. I'm very disappointed by this first Vasque purchase.

Hiked It. LOVED IT.

Wore these on a 1.5 week long west coast road trip. No break in period at all. I wore them through Yosemite, 14 mile-hike through the Red Woods, and days in Washington (Mt. Rainer and Olympic National). I had to give my husband piggy-back rides through puddles and mud to keep his feet dry. I walked through ankle deep water and walked away completely dry. Not to mention I have wide feet and my feet felt fresh at the end of each day.

Survived the Camino de Santiago

I bought two pairs of these shoes to train for and to hike the Camino. They did not disappoint. While many of my colleagues shoe soles blew out - my Vasques remained strong. In fact, after a 900k - they still look and feel great.
