Vasque Juxt SKU: #7604331

from Kaneohe, Hawaii

Shoes made for a Hawaiian! To start off, I normally wear a size 15 EE, so finding the right shoe is not always successful. These shoes felt great as soon as I put them on. They are lightweight and perfect for hiking or hunting in Hawaii. They have stood up to some rugged terrain and have some decent grip for the wet slopes and rocks left behind by passing rain showers. The low-top design worried me at first due to the lack of ankle support, but I came to appreciate the mobility and less weight as opposed to the hunting boots I used before. If you live in Hawaii or are planning to visit, these shoes will suit you well for any outdoor adventure up in the forests.

I was looking for a good shoe that I could walk to work in but also do some trail hiking/walking and occasional mountain biking in. I had never heard of this brand but the style, design, and construction looked good so I gave them a shot and I couldn't be happier. They're fairly light and feel like they have good arch support. My only complaint is that despite the aggressive tread on the sole, smooth wet concrete sometimes is too slick and it's easy to suddenly lose balance. Almost like walking on ice. Based on the only other review before mine, I ordered a size larger which turned out to be too big. I quickly exchanged them for a 12 (my actual shoe size) and they fit perfect. Unlike some other shoes I've had in the past, these don't feel at all like they need to break in. The laces stay tied with the standard single knot/bow and the tongue has not slid off to the side in the slightest degree. It may seem funny to mention something as mundane as the laces and tongue, but I can't tell you how frustrating it's been that every shoe and laced boot I've bought previously has required double knots to stay tied and the tongues slide off to one side. I'm happy these don't do that.

I bought these shoes for my boyfriend who walks on a concrete floor all day at work. He has very flat feet, so he did put in a different insole, but found that the shoe provided great support. He does not have the knee and arch pain anymore that he was experiencing prior to having these shoes. I would definitely buy these shoes again for him!

I own these and the Synergist Low Vasque shoes. They were both extremely comfortable the first time I put them on. The Juxt are better for everyday wear. They are flat on the bottom and the heel is lower. The Synergist has big tread knobs on the bottom and a higher heel for hiking. The Juxt are much better for rain. They are a little narrow near my little toe but hopefully they will break in. I am very happy with this shoe.

Fantastic shoe, several small local hikes and a lot of just utility use - to and from work. Comfortable and looks great.

Hadn't worn Vasque before but thought I'd take a chance. Loved the look of the shoes, but the comfort level was poor: the shoes were extremely narrow in the forefoot -- in fact, they were essentially the same width from heel to toe, so even out of the box they look as if they aren't contoured to the human foot (and they weren't, at least not for mine). Probably good if you have a very narrow foot -- and in any case, Zappos makes it easy to try 'em out. Great customer service!

Let me first say that this shoe is very comfortable and reasonably priced. However, they are quite ugly, look kind of like I'm wearing hippos on my feet or perhaps bowling shoes. Still, with the amount of shoes I go through for work, I'd buy these again. Also, nice support in the toe.

The shoe is so snug on the sides that is was hard to determine the length. Unfortunately the fit could have been at least a half size smaller in length. Next time I'll loosen them up so that I can slide my foot around. Otherwise seems like a nice shoe.

I love these shoes! Very comfortable right out of the box, look great too. Love the slate color with jeans. These are not for rugged backcountry hiking, but well worth the price for casual use. I usually wear 11 1/2 so I ordered a 12. Just right. Startlingly fast delivery! Love Zappos!

I have had these for a year now, and they are totally worn out (I guess to be expected). I did hope they'd wear a little better though. The sole wears very quickly and is not very thick and gets down to foam rubber too soon. They should have gone with vibram soles.

These shoes are comfortable and surprisingly very lightweight - good for hitting the trails or the urban jungle.

Runs a bit small. I usually wear 10.5 and needed an 11. I've had the shoes for a while now. Comfortable and durable. I am buying another pair for my son before they're all gone.

These Shoes were great and comfortable, perfect fit-nice and light, yet very durable for light hikes or any outdoor activity. They also look sweet. I have very flat feet and even with a moderate arch, they still were comfortable!

Nice wide toe box. Sizing was right. Have hiked about 15 miles in these shoes without any signs of blisters. This is my third pair of Vasque hikers/trail runners and would recommend these to anyone looking for a quality fair priced shoe. As always Zappos' free delivery and returns makes this the site to buy from.

Even though some reviewers thought the toe box was a little narrow, some thought it was okay, so I decided to try a pair. After a hike, I found the toe box to be narrow too. I only have a med width forefoot, but very long toes & they get pinched in toe boxes that aren't roomy - unfortunately I also have a narrow heel, so based on reviews, that eliminated the Keens from consideration My heel did not slip up at all in these Juxts. I stuffed paper in the toe box area after each hike & the toe box is better now. The rest of the shoe is impressive, steep ascents & descents on rocky trails don't bother this shoe at all, they grip really well! Protection under the forefoot from rocks is better than with a trail-running shoe. Although I wish the toe box was roomier, overall I think it's a good day hiking shoe. Bottom line: if you have a wide foot get another shoe, if not, this is not a bad day hiker, & it's great in mountainous terrain.

These are great for both light hiking and kicking it around town. Sizing is right on for my size 11 feet, although they seem to run a bit narrow (which I greatly prefer). I really love these shoes.

Best low cut hiker I've ever owned! Zero break in time, I just put them on, and did a 10 mile hike right out of the box, no blisters, rubbing, chafing, nothing. The shoe was also sure footed on uneven terrain, slick rocks and loose gravel.

I have owned and abused similar footwear in Iraq and Afghanistan for several years now. I have owned a pair of these for about eight months. These shoes look great, get compliments all the time and are fine for daily wear around town but are terrible for serious outdoor use. They provide no ankle support and have some of the worst insoles I have seen, they are a thin hard foam that wore useless after a couple hundred miles. The stitching on the outside not very durable under extreme conditions. Buy some Merrells or Keens instead if you are going to use them hard.
