Don't let the comfort of these boots fool you!

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

Don't be fooled by the comfort of these boots. They are easily the most comfortable boots that I have ever bought, but they are extremely poor quality and design. My first pair developed cracks in the side at the flex point after about three months. The higher section of that molded sole puts al of the flex into one spot. I had recommended these to a friend and his did the same thing. I had them replaced under warranty, and the second pair had the same problem. The person that I originally talked to at Red Wing was not surprised when I told him about the spot where they cracked. He had heard it before. Now that the second pair has cracked in the same spot I am out of warranty. I think that expecting to get more than one year of use from a pair of boots is not unreasonable. Save your money and don't spend it on disposable junk.

Liked them until I wore them. Very first hike in the woods and I was disappointed. The front of the boot where the toe wraps around peeled apart within 4 miles of hiking.

Great for hiking when it’s dry

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

Bought these boots a little over a month ago, wore them for a few hikes and they seem to be working good. Took them on a weeklong elk hunting trip in eastern Montana and they did great the first few days, They felt snug on my feet, were fairly comfortable and gripped the terrain really well. Then we had rain for about two days, not heavy rain just light rain in the mornings, but walking through the wet grass it only took about 15 minutes for my feet to be completely soaked, my feet were literally swimming. As I was hiking water droplets would fall onto the tongue of the boots and soak right in filling the boots up. It took 3 days to dry them out completely. They seemed to let water in no problem but wouldn’t let it out. So needless to say I’m very disappointed with this purchase, to be advertised as “ultra dry waterproof” couldn’t be farther from the truth. So PLEASE save yourself the disappointment/money and go with a better brand for waterproof hiking/hunting boots.

A good shoe

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2019

Size: 12 WideColor: Realtree Xtra CamouflageVerified Purchase

I bought these Vaprtreks for their flexibility and lightweight quality. They perform exactly as expected. It is a little bit of a hassle to get the foot actually ‘inside’ the footbed because the bend around the ankle is small, yet the footbox itself is ample enough for thick or thin socks and once the boot is on it feels great and not bulky.
Pros:
1.these Vaprtrek boots are well made and can EASILY last beyond a season.
2. They will NOT hurt the shinbone even when laced up tight.
3. They do not impeede mobilty.
4. Several months in and they are still just as waterproof as the day i bought them (which is more than i can say for (Vasque hikers)

Cons:
1. the laces which come with this boot are scratchy, grippy, clingy and just shy of being too short for tying. I chose to replace my laces with something else.
2. The ankle opening is tight.
3. Not the best traction for certain kinds of river rocks.
4. The tan color of the sole and toe rubber seems too bright and in the face. Kinda negates the whole camo thing in my opinion.

Super light!! These feel lighter than my Ecco dress shoes! Took zero break-in. Good ankle support and very comfortable.

Fit: I ordered a half size up and wider than normally wear. I'm glad I did because these fit perfectly.

These boots are excellent. I work as an underground utility contractor and in the 3 weeks I have had them have put them thru hell, and the still look new when i wash them off. They have excellent traction, very good ankle support, tough rugged soles, and are extremely comfortable for my 10-12 hour days on my feet. i have kicked and spread hundreds of pounds of gravel and dirt, stood in ankle deep mud and water and they still look new. Will definitely consider buying another pair when these wear out

Best boot for the buck!

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

First day with these boots and so far great! I hiked 6.2 miles today in various terrain and some of it quite difficult. I wanted to a: begin the breakin process and b: put them to the test. There are a couple of hot spots that will smash down a bit with time, but my ankle stayed locked in to the heel cup while ascending steep stuff and my toes didn’t smash into the front of the boot while descending. I stood in lace deep water for several minutes and no leaks. They have been on my feet for at least eight hours and still feel pretty good considering I really haven’t worn shoes since April (flip flops 24/7) and am wearing box sporting good cheap socks. They could use a bit more rugged if a sole, but every ounce gets felt with every step. I hope they stay durable!

Tread wore out

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

Great fit, light and good ankle support. My only complaint is the sole tread wore down to a flat surface in just one year. I hunt 2-4 times a month all year in tough terrain, so maybe that's the typical life of a rubber sole?, but would of loved to seen these last longer. The boots themselves outlasted the soles.

Great boot overall. One suggested change.

Reviewed in Canada on June 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

Great boots. Look good, fit good. Light. Waterproof. Comfortable. Good in heat and cold. I like the height. Seem to be built to last. Not to tall, not too short.

Only one reason for 4 stars. The instep/middle of boot grip. It’s a honeycomb solid hard rubber. Looks great and I like the looks. But when you step on a log using the middle of the boot, it’s crazy slippery side to side. Front and back grip great. But if you walk sideways down a hill and step on a wet log or rock, don’t use instep/middle of boot or you’ll slip. Use toes or heel and you’re fine. Just have to be conscious of this as you move. Otherwise they are almost perfect. Would be nice if they came in solid green or brown
