dam fine boots, dam fine, July 17, 2009
This review is from: Vasque Men's Breeze GTX Hiking Boot (Apparel)
I never write reviews ever... I always felt like I did not want to waiste my time. However I realized after spending hours and days of serching for the perfect hiking boots, how important reviews are to help one find the right boot.
I live in the rocky mountains of montana and needed a top level boot. I have serched and tryed a ton of brands, and I must say... vasque Rules!
I use to own the original zephers before vasque re did them and messed them up. I needed something to replace my vasque zephers, I hiked all over Iceland and montana in snow, mountains and volcanic rock with my 1st pair and they were amazing. So I figured... why not come back to vasque for a new pair of boots since almost every other brand i have tryed besides merrill have felt crappy to me.
I just got the breeze gtx in the mail and have not hiked in them yet, but have worn them around were I live. They feel even better than my 1st pair of zephers. They do not need to be broken in at all and they have a bit of a strech effect to them that felt like a custom fit around my foot, the boot felt to form fit around my feet and are not tight or stiff what so ever.
One big thing you must know about vasque before you buy them is this... Always order 1 size higher then what you normally wear. vasque is not true to foot size. I wear size 14, and with both pairs of vasques I have had to get size 15.

Truly excllent hiking boots.. Vasque Breeze rocks!, October 21, 2009
This review is from: Vasque Men's Breeze GTX Hiking Boot (Apparel)
I have now used my new Vasque Breeze GTX (Goretex lined) hiking boots on two challenging day hikes in the White Mountains (NH) and Baxter State Park (ME) and a weekend backpack in the Bigelow Preserve near Sugarloaf. Since all of these 'field tests' took place in New England, the conditions varied from dry to damp to the snow & ice of this past weekend. These boots are very comfortable and provided good grip in all conditions. You can hike in them with confidence and comfort. They are very breathable, as my feet stayed dry even as I hiked strong and when I stepped into some mud or water, not one drop penetrated. Prior to these hiking boots, I had been addicted to Merrills and thought that would be my boot company forever. Well, Vasque has pushed Merrill aside. You will be pleased with the Vasque Breeze. Happy and safe hiking to you.
UPDATE: Last month (July 2011), I finally returned to Yellowstone and did a five day backcountry backpack with these great boots and some fun day hiking, too. These boots performed very well, with solid support and real comfort. Next time I intend to get the version of these boots that has a rubberized front and sides to make sure they hold up to repeated wet conditions.
(By the way, let's welcome the wolves back to Maine and the Northeast. It will be good for the ecology of our region, for the wolves and for ourselves that we welcome them home here. It's time to make amends to the wolf for the horrific way they were maligned and mistreated in an earlier time and to finally correct that injustice.)
