5.0 out of 5 stars Very good day hiking/light backpacking boot, November 2, 2007

By	The Irish Patient - See all my reviews

The Vasque Wasatch lives up to its reputation for unusual out of the box comfort. I took a brand new pair on a hard hike and rock scramble last weekend with no blisters or other problems.

The boots managed to stay completely dry even though recent rains had transformed the trails into small brooks.

Be aware that the Wasatch is a little on the heavy side for a day hiker. On the plus side, that heaviness translates into superior ankle support. The quality of the leather uppers appears to be a big step up over boots costing a little less. Also appreciated is the fact that the soles are softer and stick better to bare rock than is usual for a heavier boot.

The claim that the boot runs true to size is probably correct, but also a little bit odd because no one will buy these to wear with thin dress socks on sidewalks. Thick hiking socks will add roughly one-half size, and a hiking boot should also be sized with extra space at the toe. The bottom line is that my size (United States) in a dress shoe is 10.5 wide, while my best fit in the Vasque Wasatch was 11.5 medium.

Great boots. Almost no break in time needed. I put 40 miles on them in a 5 day trip, right out of the box! No blisters.

I've been using lighter Vasque hiking boots for serveral years - they are quite comfortable and supportive, but not waterproof. I anticipated needing a waterproof boot when exploring Ireland (and was right - plenty of rain, slippery rocks and mud). The Vasque Wasatch boots kept my feet comfy and dry throughout. My wife bought the same and was pleased as well. We recommend.
