This is without question the best shoe purchase I've made, I think, ever.
The fit is perfect, great support, solid build, super comfortable and attractive to look at. I wear them just for going out and about and they are fantastic for longer outdoor walks.
The next pair I purchase will definitely be the same brand.
Can't say enough about them!

These shoes fit! They are comfy, stay tied, keep on truckin' even when I'm jogging along trying to keep up with the dog. They are even handsome. I like 'em a lot. I took them on a trip to Africa last winter and wore them almost every day, even hot ones inside a bus and experienced no discomfort.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok after stretching and breaking in and buying larger size - but shouldn't have to do that!, June 1, 2010

This review is from: Vasque Women's Mantra Hiking Shoe (Apparel)

Finding comfortable, affordable footwear THAT FITS has long been my mission. Between my grueling job that requires walking several miles per day on hard and wet floors, and my love of hiking/outdoors - comfortable, durable footwear is a must, and I've been sorely disappointed for many years. Since top brands manufacturers have gone overseas the toes are almost always too narrow and stiff.


I found that Vasque shoes run narrow in the toes, and are usually stiff in the toes, and so I have to order 1/2 size up and then still have to stretch the toes. This is maddening because a good pair of shoes should fit and be comfortable right out of the box, and who has time to waste - stretching and breaking in shoes before being able to wear them outside th home...

Due to having to buy longer shoes to get the toes to fit, and the design which makes them look even larger as the perimeters of the outer soles extend all around beyond the body of the shoes to make my feet look huge.

These shoes look and feel very well made - except for size, and stiffness of toes, and once they are stretched and broken in they are pretty comfortable.

I'm giving these a 3 star rating only because they are otherwise well made, and are fairly comfortable after stretching. I remember when shoes were made in the USA and actually fit and were comfortable right out of the box.
