I purchased the boots this spring and wore them everyday for three months. When I walked in the grass, my socks got wet. At about three months of use, the material on the lower part of the boot blistered. The sole split away from the side. See the photo. Really expensive for a boot that lasts three months. Yes. They fit great. Yes. they are lightweight. Yes. They have a cool green color. To the landfill? Don't think that matters. Sad.

I have been wearing Vasque coldspark a for 6 years but they have not been so waterproof last winter maybe it’s due to a tear I don’t know. I was looking for the same pair to replace these and I did but also bought the Breeze. I must tell You they are the most comfortable hiking boots I’ve ever worn. My feet are cushioned and they never hurt after a long strenuous hike where the others left my feet screaming after only a few miles. The breeze are super lightweight too! I will never wear another brand. Vasques will never disappoint in my Opinion. I am a size 7 and Unlike my last Vasques which were a a size 8 I bought a 7.5 and don’t need to wear heavy socks. No more hot spots and aches. My feet are happy!!

I bought these for a photography trip to Iceland. As with all my Vasque boots, they fit right out of the box. I hiked on rocky hills and through streams and wet sand beaches and they were a dream. Fully waterproof and comfortable after 12 hour days. Loved they were so much lighter than other hiking boots. Tread on bottom gave sure footing on wet rocks. I couldn’t have asked for more!

Lightweight and well fitting with the good quality Vasque is known for. (Returned since I was hoping they were less bulky in size for suitcase travel.)

I've only done about 20 miles in these boots so far, but am VERY happy with them! I read reviews all over the place and decided to follow the advice of ordering a half size up, I will always have to wear a thick sock with them but feel it was still the right way to go. After reading the reviews I was a little concerned about the "strange arch support" mentioned by many. I was worried it was going to be similar to Chacos, which I cant wear because of the large arch support, however it's not like that at all and gives more support under your heal (not sure how to best explain this (: ) and I find it very comfortable. These seemed pretty stiff at first but after one 5 mile hike they loosened up and feel very similar to a tennis shoe. I do have to mention that the heal box is oddly large, this doesn't seem to be an issue for me, but thought I would mention it incase it would be helpful to someone else. All in all I would say if your on the fence about these you should just go for it!

I have had many hiking boots over the years that were much more expensive, but none was narrow enough to hug my foot when hiking ascents and descents. Thus I was always getting a bruised big toe when my foot slipped forward. At lasy, a narrow boot that is really narrow enough to hold my foot in place.

Bought these boots mostly because they were lightweight. I followed the other reviewers' suggestion and sized up to an 8 from my normal 7.5. These boots are so comfortable and easy to break in. Looking forward to many hiking miles to come

I have plantar fasciitis and this shoes has great cushioning to cushion my feet for long distance hiking. Great for wet and dry conditions.

I have a wide foot and I struggle finding a pair that fit well. I normally settle for Solomon’s or Merrill’s but decided to give these a try so I went with the wide. It was a perfect match. Lightweight, comfortable with great traction. Money well spent!

I got my hiking boots today and they’re cool, but they run too narrow. My feet aren’t too wide. I’ll recommend you guys to order a little bigger than normal and wider, so you guys can be more comfortable

I will be moving to Alaska and I need a good hiking shoe that is reliable. It has a nice feel and a really pretty color. This shoe is also waterproof which is very convenient!

I recently attended a Backpacker Magazine event where the speaker asserted that taking a pound off your feet is like taking ten pounds out of your pack. This made perfect sense to me. And I have been wearing Voyager/Vasque boots--size 9--for over 50 years. This is the first time I have returned a boot because of fit. Luckily 9-1/2 fits great and required no break-in period.

If you are looking for a wide, light hiking boot, look elsewhere. The boot is very light and sole is stiff, which is what I wanted. It looks well made. I ordered and 8W because I have a wide forefoot. The boot felt like a vise-grip on my forefoot with no indication that it would eventually "mold to my foot" so I returned the boots. I tried on the Breeze III in 8W and it was wider than this boot.

Love this boot! Great construction, good traction, waterproofing is on point, and it is SO lightweight. It was great for backpacking in the desert and mountains on 7+ day expeditions with heavy packs. Highly recommend this boot for any hiker...
