4.2 out of 5 stars.
For more than fifty years, Vasque boots have been helping hikers, backpackers, mountaineers and trail runners get off the beaten path and out into the wilderness. When company founder William D. Sweasy traveled to Europe in the 1960s and saw how recreational hiking was sweeping the continent, he knew it wouldn’t be long before the craze reached American soil. In the years since Sweasy created the Vasque footwear company, Vasque hiking boots and mountaineering boots have become synonymous with outdoor exploration. Whether your destination is a local trail or a craggy alpine summit, Vasque shoes and boots provide the support, all-terrain traction and top-quality construction that lasts for many miles of adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars. good deal hereReviewed by Frank from Kansas City on Monday, November 18, 2024These shoes are completely watertight, and yet they breathe, some. So, better than most waterproof boots. They really bite into whatever you're walking on too, the traction is great. Best, I think I like the fit. I have narrow feet that splay wide in the toes. Somehow these things manage to accommodate all that. Break-in was minor and short, two or three miles.
I walk about 2,500 miles a year and appreciate good shoes. These are good shoes. -
4.0 out of 5 stars. Such a cool shoeReviewed by Alyssa from IL on Wednesday, November 13, 2024I bought these for my husband solely (no pun) because they look so cool. The colors and shape of this shoe are very attractive. He says that they are snug, but comfortable once he wore them a few more times. He wears them almost everyday! Taking away a star because they run small

3.0 out of 5 stars. Snug forefootReviewed by Zack from Oakland, Ca on Sunday, November 10, 2024Maybe I'm just a size up in Vasque. I bought my usual size 9.5 M that i would rock a pair of adidas. These are a tad bit short and substantially narrower.
There is also a big padded buffer between the back of the shoe and the ankle which I can see creating problems with heel slippage on loose terrain.
the outsole seems pliable, well-cushioned but firm and responsive. the upper mesh appears well made.
full disclosure: i haven't tested them yet on the trail. -

3.0 out of 5 stars. high risk of blistersReviewed by Alexzinho from Miami on Wednesday, September 18, 2024You might try it yourself, it might be fine. The materials and the style are very good. But there is a strange solution for the back of your foot, it made me feel that I'm getting blisters while I tried it for 1 min. Probably not ideal and I don't take risk of creating a blister on a trail

2.0 out of 5 stars. Small!Reviewed by Sunny from Upper Mojave Desert on Monday, June 10, 2024This shoe runs really small. I wear a size 8.5 men and ordered same. Should have ordered at least a 9.5. Couldn't even get the shoe on.

4.0 out of 5 stars. Great shoesReviewed by mouseman from Colorado on Monday, May 27, 2024I don't normally write reviews, but these are a great deal. Supportive and comfortable, although more on the narrow to regular width side. I have a high arch and these hikers feel great. I've worn hoka's forever and I honestly think the sole is better on the vasque. They are a little warm due to the waterproofing but, not overly hot to wear. It would be an ideal fall or winter shoe.

5.0 out of 5 stars. Great but narrow. recommend sizing upReviewed by Y.W. from Arizona on Monday, May 6, 2024Great hiking boots. These are Gore-Tex boots with a grippy outsole and also provide ankle-support. My regular size is 6.5, but size 6.5 in these is too narrow for me. Finally, I got 7. If there's wide option available, you could try regular size with wide one first. Otherwise, size up at least half a size.

5.0 out of 5 stars. A steal at $80!Reviewed by Adam from Bloomfield, NY on Saturday, April 27, 2024This is one of those buys that keeps me coming back to Sierra. A fantastic boot at an incredible price. The looks of this boot are too notch. The build quality is too notch. Super comfy out of the box. Very sturdy sole. Seriously...a Gore-tex Vasque hiking boot for $80?? You can't beat it.
