Great Arch Support

dp from Brighton, MA

These shoes are great for walking. I can walk 2 miles with a knapsack filled with groceries without any arch pain. I have a very difficult time finding shoes that will accommodate my orthotics. They fit quite well in these shoes. The uppers are well ventilated and the durable, Vibram shoes provide great traction Read more

Love these... just bought my second pair

Carsonsig from davis, CA

I bought these previous to a 2007 Hawaii trip for volcano hiking and just general walking around... I wanted a light hiker /running shoe mix and liked the look of these as well... they are very comfortable, and do not feel stiff when new. although they will break in some. I just unpacked my 2nd pair of these that I bought with xmas gift cards... I wore them every day almost for 15 months.... would highly recommend you try a pair on... Read more

Great, but concerned about durability

Lorenzo from Los Angeles, CA

I put these to a pretty brutal test over two weeks in Italy with a backpack. They have incredible traction on a great variety of terrain, sometimes for 6-7 hours nonstop (blister-free!). And though not claimed to be waterproof (there's a pricier Gore-tex version), they kept my feet completely dry while walking for two hours in real rain. They are a tad stiff, a bit more like a hiking boot than a true trailrunner. But I like that in this kind of shoe, for the support and bruising protection on rocky trails. My only concern, like another reviewer noticed, the rubber at the tip of one toe is just starting to peel off. I'll try to glue it down and hope for the best. The only shoe that competes with this in my experience are the Lowa "low-top" versions of classic Lowa light hikers (like the fantastic but expensive Lowa Renegade). Read more

One if the Best shoes I've ever had!

XC rider from Elmhurst, IL

I picked this shoe up on sale about 1 year ago and since then I have wanted to wear it every day! It is a great spring, summer, fall shoe, it breathes well so it is not meant for winter. I am a diabetic and my feet were always killing me with this shoe I have not had any foot pain after wearing them all day! Great traction and great fit. Read more

Best Shoe Ever!!

spotpetes from Bellingham, WA

I am a dude who loves shoes...honestly. This Vasque is the best overall shoe I have had, ever!! My ex-girlfriend actaully liked the way they looked. I never had owned a pair of Vasque's before, but decided to try something new...and glad I did. Super comfortable, good looking, fits well, multiple uses (hiking, b-packing, school, everyday use. Really...I don't rate many things 5 out of 5 but this shoe rocks!! I have used them in the North Cascades, Oregon coast, and around Whistler BC. Buy these shoes and you won't be sad! Read more
