 dam fine boots, dam fine Jul 18, 2009
By S. Schneider
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! Oct 22, 2009
By Robert Goldman
"MaineBob"
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.)

By Peter Obrien
its nice and light weight and has a lot of support and cushion for your feet for those long days hiking or just doing nothing around town.

 true to size for me Jan 07, 2010
By Troy Olson
"stratoblues"
First of all they run true to size.I went to a local
outfitter and tried the exact same boot before ordering from Amazon
because of the controversy and I'm glad I did.Had I taken other reviewers advice
and ordered a size larger they would have been to big.
I do a lot of bushwack hiking in rugged desert terrain
and was very pleased with these boots until about two
months into them and the stitching,supporting the upper
lace hooks gave out on one of boots.

Excellent hiking boots Jan 31, 2011
By P. Fowler
"Arizona Jayhawk"
I bought these boots on my older brother's recommendation. He has had a pair of the Vasque Breeze boots for several years and he has only good things to say about them. He uses them regularly for Boy Scout hikes with his son. I bought my pair a year ago and have used them on several multi-mile backpacking trips over tough Arizona backcountry. I am similarly impressed. They have held up well. Good ankle support, good traction, stay dry when crossing shallow creeks, and most importantly, they are VERY COMFORTABLE. I highly recommend these boots. I tried on a pair at a large outdoor store to find the right size, then ordered them on Amazon and paid about $40 less than the outdoor store was charging.
