This is my third pair of Vasque Breeze over about 7 years. The first two pair were exactly the same and I was a bit worried with the slight remake and some of the reviews before ordering my latest pair. I use them for work (dog walker) so I put 4-6 miles on them daily plus for light hiking. Other than the water proofing and sole nothing has changed! Fit is exactly the same, toe box the same, same wonderful support in a lightweight boot and same wonderful comfort. The laces were a little bit shorter but I could still double knot them so not an issue. I received them yesterday and put 5 miles on them today. They were comfortable and perfect!! I can't comment on the waterproofing yet but will update. Update 5/10: I wore them out all day working in the rain today, wet grass and some puddles and came home with dry feet! I'm very happy with my boots ☔️ Read more
For the trooper color, make sure you look at the 4th picture down and watch the video of the boots because that is a more accurate photo of the actual color. In the first few pictures, the boots look grey, but the boots are actually more of a green color, like a sage green with dark sage/emerald mesh inlays and olive-green accents on the heel and ankle. I'm actually pleasantly surprised because I prefer this color over the grey. I went a half size up, which I normally do for hiking boots to accommodate for thick, wool socks. I wear an 8 and the 8.5 fits perfectly with moderately thick wool socks. I have a regular/slightly wide foot and I did not buy wide width and I have no issues. My toe's are moving comfortably in the toe box and if I were to have gone a full size larger, they would've been too big. These do not feel narrow to me so ignore whoever said these run narrow. I cannot wear narrow shoes. These actually looked wide around the heel and ankle to me. The laces are WAY too short. I could barely tie them, let alone double tie them. I'm probably going to have to buy longer laces, but getting a boot of this quality at this price is worth having to pay for an extra pair of laces. Read more
I walk up to 10 miles a day for work and these boots are perfect. They are the most comfortable hiking boot that I have ever worn. I have (slightly) wider feet, so I’ve had a very difficult time finding boots that don’t irritate my feet, but these are perfect. I don’t typically wear them when there is a lot of moisture on the ground, but so far they have kept my feet dry. Highly recommend! No complaints after 6 months of substantial use. Read more
These boots were very comfortable, no blisters even after the first wear walking 2 miles. There is a little bit of a pressure point on one foot, top of the ankle, but with some lacing adjustment it has been fine. I like the ankle support, the fit is true to size. Read more
These boots are great as long as you order them an entire size larger than your normal shoe size. Vasque boots run small. I am a 7.5 normally and get an 8.5 in Vasque boots. They are very good for a narrow heel that tends to slip up while walking, eliminating blisters and holes in socks at the heel. I have put many, many miles in many pairs of these hiking boots over the last 20 years and have always been a fan. They are not quite as high quality as they used to be but are still a good boot. I wear them out in about a year but I also put tons of miles on them and sometimes in terrible conditions. I believe they do continue to be a good value for your money compared to others. They also have good arch and ankle support, lightweight, good waterproofing, and the styling is not bad. I hope this is helpful :) Read more
I just received them yesterday and ordered a size 9 (I usually wear size 8). I put them on with some wool socks, as I’m planning a visit to Iceland where the weather will be cool and rainy. My first thought when I put them on was that I was glad I ordered a full size larger. But then I walked around and they were super comfortable and felt like they were custom made. I have pretty high arches and slightly wider width across my feet right behind my toes. But they felt nice and I could definitely feel the ankle and arch support. I walked around the block and my feet were hot (it was 90 out) which is a good sign for colder climates, but they didn’t feel like they needed a ‘break-in” period. I think they’ll be great when shoveling snow, too, since they have good traction on the soles. Read more
These did not work out for me. I tried them on in my home. I walked around for about 5 minutes and began to feel pain on my right inner ankle. I took the boot off, removed my sock and already had a red indentation on my skin. I took a look inside the boot and did the same with the left boot and I noticed that the tongue on the right boot seemed to have more fabric on the inside corner. I put the boots back on. The left one was great. While putting the right one on I tried to maneuver the tongue fabric into place like the left boot. It was at this point that I realized the fabric would not fold nicely into place like the left boot did. I am returning these boots and will go to an outdoor enthusiast type store, try on several pairs, spend more money on a pair that suit my feet better. Read more
First impressions... I give this boot 4.5 stars, subtracting 1/2 star for the too-short laces that I will replace with longer laces. The ankle coverage is great, and these boots are very comfortable. I love that Vasque incorporated recycled materials into nearly every component of this boot. Construction appears solid, and I think they look great (Rum Raisin color). Some people might prefer a stiffer sole. I think it's a great value for the price, so I ordered a second pair. I am usually a size 8.5 or 9, but because the fit is tight I am wearing a 9.5.
