PROS:
- They’re sturdy and hold up really well to all kinds of use
- lightweight, warm and with good traction
- I never got blisters while wearing these boots
CONS:
- The boots tend to cramp the sides of the toes
- you need to order a larger size if you want to wear warm socks
- the sole doesn’t seem to be as long lasting as the rest of the boot
As someone who hikes a lot, I do need a good pair of hiking boots and I was very pleased once I got these Vasque Hiking boots.
First of all I really like the comfort they give when I hike and the confidence that, no matter how heavy duty the trail might be, my boots will be there for me.
Hear my pros:
- they are very comfortable to wear, even on long hikes, on difficult weather conditions or heavy duty trails
- my feet are quite narrow and I am happy with the size I got, but they come in various width options
- they are a great fit
- the boots give good support to the ankles
- they don’t need a break in period
- the boots have a wide toe bed
- I also wear them on cross country
- the traction is great on sand, rocks and even the slippery mud
- I never got blisters while wearing these boots
- the boots keep really warm and my feet remain warm and dry no matter how much snow or water is around
- the boots are lightweight
- there is good heel support with these boots and the insole gives great arch support
- I get great traction while wearing these boots
- my feet don’t get sweaty no matter how warm they are since the boots have good breathability
- the boots are pretty sturdy and hold up really well to all kinds of use
- I really like the looks of these boots and the subtle purple details really make them stand out
- the boots come in nice colors and I’m thinking to buy the same model in another color
- the sole is non-stick
- their look is quite professional and yet fun
There are a few cons, though:
- the boots come in different widths and you do have to check for the right width on your boots (not a real con, just something to keep in mind)
- the toes felt crowded when I wore a thick pair of socks and this is why I have to wear thin, wool socks
- the design could be improved. I think the toes feel crowded because of the construction of the boots. The boots tend to cramp the sides of the toes a bit of much
- you do need to order a larger size than usual, especially if your feet aren’t narrow or if you want to wear more than one pair of socks in the wintertime
- I tried to use these boots for my longest hikes (as I said, I do hike a lot), but my feet disagreed on this…
- the sole doesn’t seem to be as long lasting as the rest of the boot
I also really liked that these boots were delivered really fast, by the way.
All in all, these boots are comfortable, low priced and are great for high arch support. The minor things that need to be improved didn’t bother me that much and anyone wants working/hiking boots that are comfortable for many hours, without spending all their money, right?
