Vasque

Very comfortable right out of the box. The lace up system works much better than the Vasque Talus AT Ultra dry hiking boots that I purchased previously. Haven't had a chance yet to run these new hikers through their paces when I'm up in the mountains. Turkey season is here, so it won't be long.

Have been wearing Vasque products for over 40 years. They just fit my feet well. This is about the 4th pair of St. Elias. I used to not have any significant break-in time, but now at 70 it takes a little bit longer as feet are more sensitive.

I've been wearing Vasque shoes and boots for years. They're extremely comfortable, reliable and last a long time. The Talus is a model I've purchased four or five times. The look changes a bit. The fit is perfect for me.

My husband wore these walking and hiking and loved them.

I selected these shoes for the wonderful round toes to accommodate my straight across wide feet, and other reviews that said they ran wide sealed the deal. No problem there, but the height of the toe box was low and rubbed the tops of my toes. The neoprene fabric is very grippy on socks, pulling them tight across your toes when you insert your feet, but this could be overcome by really opening them up before you put them on.. Great tread and cushy soles, but the low toe box was a big problem in my case and they had to go back.

Too narrow

These are now my walking shoes for winter. They are comfortable, have great treads, and are warm.

Pros: This hiking boot is relatively light. The heel cup is snug, feels better than most Above average toe box room. Sole seems stiff enough to take on rocky terrain. I did not hike in them but felt OK walking around the house Cons: Do not like the tongue which is not padded and the gussets appear poorly made. Questionable defect where mid sole meets the outer sole

These boots hurt the front of my ankles. I cannot wear them.

I have purchased Vasque hiking boots for over 20 years now, and I have always loved them. This purchase was different. I ordered the usual half-size larger to accommodate thicker hiking socks, however the left feels true to a half size smaller and the right shoe feels like a whole size smaller. I understand our feet are sometimes different sizes, but with the thinnest of socks the boots are just not near the size advertised. Needless to say I was very disappointed with this pair of Vasque boots.

I could wear these shoes the day they arrived! No breaking in needed. And they work great in the snow. NOT ice, but snow.

Just what I needed. I’m normally a 10, but had to go up to a 10.5.

Really small, tight and restrictive fit compared to my other Vasque boots. Just doesn't seem well designed. Looks nice, but really poor fit.

I love that these are vegan. They are super comfy. I've searched high and low for a hiking boot and finally landed on the right one. And as a bonus, no animals were needlessly killed. These ARE NOT ebony. They are navy.

Wonderful Vegan hiking boot. #1 it’s not ebony. It’s blue’ish but whatever it’s a comfortable hiking boot. Bless zappo’s hearts, but I went through multiple hiking boots before finding this great comfortable perfect for. Thanks zaps! And thanks vasque. I also love that it’s not made from animal carcasses which is a requirement. I mean, why hike in nature to see the free wildlife while supporting the leather industry and their cruelty towards our animals and planet? #gogreen #goNTX

Comfortable as heck. Looks cool. (It’s blue’ish not real black) Ordered 1/2 size too big to account for foot swelling while hiking. I’ve searched and searched for this boot! Finally at last. 8 pair later. Plus.. it’s vegan so no animals needlessly and brutally murdered to make this shoe. “Treat the animals as our inferior brothers and sisters. Be kind to them and take care of them.” -SDM <3

These are my go to hiking and work boots. They broke in fast, are extremely rugged and have been comfortable in every terrain.

Works well with othodis and keeps my feet dry.

I normally wear 7W and bought these in 7.5W. After two years of hiking and backpacking these have become my all time favorite waterproof, leather, heavy duty boots. I have had these boots from Zion, Death Valley. Bryce, Smokies, Shenandoah, ANF and MNF and a handful of State Parks. I have not experienced the thin soles others mentioned (I've been on some very rocky trails MNF) but they always had a squeak up until my last trip. I had 36 hours of nonstop rain and everything was soggy at the end, including my boots. Squeaking stopped though. They had a slight break in period and while I haven't done so yet, I usually tell myself I should drop different insoles in them. After two years they are still I'm good shape.

I've had many pairs of Vasques and really loved them, but these were the strangest pair I've ever worn. I have fairly wide and thick feet, so I usually order men's sizes and they are comfortable. But I could barely get these tied, my foot looked like it was bursting out of them. The length was fine, but the width at the mid-foot was super narrow. Even so, the heel slipped constantly as I tried to walk around the house. My husband, who has very thin feet, usually has to put an extra insole in his shoes or else they will be loose even tied as tightly as possible. He tried these on and even he was like "I can't even comfortably tie these!" I have no idea why these are so different than any other Vasque shoe but what a disappointment. They're so cool looking too. Too bad!

Felt stiff and the collar seemed high.

Could not believe how light they are. The 1st thing I do when receiving new shoes is replace the insert with "Superfeet". No need with these as they provide just the right amount of arch support. Very comfortable on 1st 4 mile walk. These feel like the size 13 ordered but have the appearance of size 10 if that matters. Overall, I am very pleased and hope their durability is as good as their feel and look

Nice shoe, but way too narrow.

Shoe looked great. However the fit was not. Very narrow shoe. Upsizing isn’t an option as it’s so narrow, not good for wider feet

for my usual size these were more narrow. vasque has changed their width on their hiking shoes
