These shoes fit my feet perfectly. I tried on a couple of other shoes and they were way too small. I've worn 10 D for a long time; it was as if shoes have gotten smaller. But the Vasque fit my foot. And they are comfortable -- cushiony. The other shoes that I tried were North Face and New Balance, both were small. I have shoes from both of those companies in size 10 D, a hiking shoe and an athletic shoe and the fit is good. I especially like the fit of the New Balance. But this Vasque Blur is just a great fit.

More than anything, I appreciate that Zappos provides the opportunity to sample hiking boot styles other than those available to me locally. It takes a while to find a boot that fits right, considering the 'intimacy' one has with a hiking boot. It's not like you can slip them off under the table and give your feet a rest! This is a sturdy boot, and includes a good combination of toe room + not too much slip in the heel, which I found after trying the wide option. The bottom is excellent in wet conditions. I also liked the extra external waterproof layer for the toe area, in addition to the GRX. Personally, as long as it doesn't pinch, I will forego 'cush on the inside for a boot that will push back, rather than flex. Padding can be added with socks and inserts. It's a boot, after all!

I bought these for my husband b/c he had a pair from this brand before and loved them. He wears a size 13 and a lot of shoes are too narrow for him. This shoe in a 13 normal width fits him great. Very true to size and he says VERY comfortable! They look great too!

Second pair - This is my second pair of Vasque trail running shoes. The first pair was used a little for trail running but then mostly for walking and running on the beach etc... I loved that they are waterproof. When the old pair started to age (after about 3 years of regular use) I ordered these and don't think I am going to be disappointed. The heel rubs a little bit, but this was day one of wear, I am sure it will break in well, but that's why the "4" on comfort. I don't agree with other reviewers who said the sole seemed too thin to them - it seems just right to me.

I was looking for a good waterproof boot for backpacking. As far as I’m concerned, a waterproof "membrane" inside the liner is pointless, since it allows the majority of the boot to get saturated with heavy water and mud. This narrowed my selection to boots that have waterproof uppers. I ordered this boot and the North Face Jannu GTX. I immediately ruled out the North Face boot upon arrival because the tongue was too short - when I tied it tightly, the knot would slip over the top of the tongue, then up against my shin. So there was that ridiculous flaw, plus the fact that the boot was way too roomy. Back to the Vasque. This boot is well constructed, with clean lines and tight seams, excellent ankle support and a rigid sole. These boots certainly aren’t as cozy soft as a pair of Keens, but when I have an extra 50 lbs on my back, I appreciate the support. The rubber toecap will help this boot last a while. I can’t really comment on the insoles because I replaced them with custom orthotics, as I do with all shoes. It’s worth noting that this boot has a roomy toebox.

A full footwear. If you have wide feet, this is the ideal footwear. True to size. Good support for my lower back. I noticed once I put them on the pain was alleviated in my lower back. A good work sneaker!

Vasque Ranger - I have 2 pair of the older (2007- 08) model. Flexible sole, which I like. Sort of a high top sneaker but more durable. Good grip on rocks, quality seems fine. I bought high quality after market insoles, which added to price, but worth it. Thin leather may wear quickly, but by then the interior lining will prob. be worn also...sizing seems true, maybe slightly large - I usually go for size 10.5 N.B. sneaks, take these in size 10...

More Cushion Needed? They were comfortable right away, and size is good, but when I was walking I could feel the stones under my feet. Might need to add more cushioning in the shoe. Has anyone else noticed this?

Comfortable, versatile and cool colors! No break-in time needed, very flexible and sturdy at the same time. Breathable, but waterproof thanks to the Gore-Tex mesh. I had to add arch support insoles because of my high arch, but with them in place they fit me like a glove. My favorite shoe!!!

Not enough shoe for the money - My feet got wet during the rain, the shoe fits good to my feet, but the bottom of my feet are sore from wearing them, almost feels like I’m walking barefoot. Not a comfortable shoe at all for the money, I will be going back to Salomon shoes asap.

Loving these boots ... from the first hike - I bought these boots anticipating having time to break them in before a big hike out west this summer. From the first hike.. they felt better than my boots Ive had for years. Feet are dryer and not a single hot or pain spot on toes or anywhere. Very comfortable. I bought 1/2 size larger to ensure space for double hiking socks.

Weekend Warrior - I love these shoes... the only thing I have a problem with - although it could be my feet - but when I'm descending after my hike the big toe starts getting a blister. I'm going to try different socks which will probably help a lot. I wouldn't trade them in though.

A bit disappointed - I've always respected Vasque for their serious hiking and outdoor shoes. However, I'm returning this one. After trying it on, I was very disappointed in the rather flat and lightly cushioned footbed. The heel is quite firm and the shoe just doesn't feel like there's much to it...especially for the price!! Geez, for the cost I really feel like this model is way overpriced! There are quite a few other brands of hikers I'm going to consider thru Zappos, and their features and price are a much better deal.

Trail Running Shoe - For a "trail" shoe and the price it seemed a little light duty. However, the soles are rugged and that is probably what is important. Very comfortable. Innovative lacing system works well, however, I'm not sure what to do if it ever breaks.

Rugged Trek Boot - This boot is rugged and appropriate for trekking with a heavy pack in rocky/rough terrain. The athletic fit is VERY comfortable for a boot this rugged, and it really requires almost no break-in period. I wore it around my house to ensure proper fit, then wore it on a 13-mile hike with a 40-lb pack... I had no problems at all. I could have purchased this boot from many different sources, but I chose Zappos because their customer service is truly fabulous - absolutely unequaled.

This is my first paid of Vasque shoes. I have owned La Sportiva's in the past (they have been amazing), but decided to try these out. They are great shoes despite having a defect that seemed to show after about 4 month of wear. The sole began to bubble up in the center of the heel. I am hoping this is just a rare occurrence. Despite this I am willing to give them another try. The have been hiked in Zion and Bryce Canyons for about 50 miles. Zappos was great and sent me a new pair for free.

So far these seem to be very comfortable boots. Wore them around all day and my feet felt great, and never got too hot. Vasque's last seems to fit my feet naturally, so perhaps I'm a little biased. Tried them out on an indoor ice climbing wall and the fit was great, with no heel lift. The BOA closure system seems effective -- we'll see how it performs in the field, how easily it breaks, etc. My only beef with these is with the useless little gaiters that come with them -- I could maybe use them as wrist cuffs, but there's no way I could get them over my calf, which isn't THAT big. Also, the hooks that attach the gaiter to the boot are a pain to use -- I couldn't imagine attaching them on a 3am alpine start with gloves on.

Perfect for travel - I have two pairs of these and they're great. They're nice for travel because they work well for a light hike or zipping around town. The toe box is roomy and your toes don't feel constricted. I wish they made them in a nice brick red or a more fun color. Neutrals are fine but get boring.

Still maybe the best out there - Until they were left in a cabin in the smoky mtns., I had been wearing a pair of sundowners for about 12 to 14 years over all types of terrain and never really had a complaint. These were to the best of my knowledge the old Italian model. The soles were outstanding and I often found myself making a step or a leap and they always stuck to the rock. Sometimes I must admit I was amazed when I didn't slip. When they disappeared, I bought myself a pair of Vasque Wasatch, just for a change I guess. They fit just fine, but early on I found myself flat on my bottom when they slipped out from under me twice. Once routinely walking down some wooden steps. Maybe the soles weren't "seasoned' but I have been wary ever since and they do seem to slip around on wet surfaces more than the sundowner. I bought the Sundowners for my daughter in preparation for a big trip later on and we headed to the foothills to hike and break them in. We went on a rainy weekend, she had no problems with instability (unlike her dad who slipped around in the Wasatch like he was on roller skates) and no problems with fit or break in. The only thing I would complain about is the leather on the toe shows quite a bit of wear that I never experienced in more than 10 years with my original pair. Might just be her carelessness, I don't know. So, daughter loved the retro styling, happy with the fit, great unparalleled sole, with questionable leather quality, that superficially looks no different than my old pair. A pretty good shoe for the money. I will buy another pair when my Wasatch wears out.

Great Hiking Boot - This is my third pair of Vasque Sundowners in the past 20 years. The last pair I had over 10 years. The soles were too worn but the leather was still in good shape except for a few cracks. I stopped taking care of them after a while. I know how good the new boots look. The Italian leather is so nice. You can wear these boots all day and your feet won't get sweaty. Very light boots, hardly know they're on your feet. They look like quality and they are.
