comfortable but not waterproof Jun 29, 2010 By cachkn46
I am on my 3rd pair of these boots. They are by far the most comfortable hiking boots I have ever had on my feet, but that is an individual thing. I have slightly wider than average feet. I normally take a size 8.5 or 9, and take a size 9 in these boots.

They are not the most durable boots: I hike about 15 miles a week, year round, and use these boots for about 3/4 of that. They begin to fall apart after about 8 mos. of that activity.

They are somewhat water resistant, but NOT water proof. (That has been true for all 3 pairs that I've had.) If I am going to be hiking in muddy or slushy conditions, I wear my other, much less comfortable but truly waterproof, hiking boots.

As soon as I can find truly waterproof boots that are as comfortable as the Vasque Breeze GTX, I will stop buying these. Until then, I have no choice.

Quality Hiking Boot! Aug 15, 2010 By CaitF
I have really bad feet - flat, bunions, wide, the works. I got these boots for a trek through the Andes to Machu Piccu. I went on a few hikes and a backpacking trip in NorCal to break them in and then walked on them for about a week in Peru up and down mountains, through mud, creeks, gravel, large rocks, dust, snow, inca ruin steps - basically every possible terrain one could imagine. These boots kept my prone-to-blisters-and-soreness-feet comfortable, blister and black and blue toenail free, and dry (even when fording streams). My friend, who has completely opposite feet than me (narrow, high arches) bought the same boots for this trek and didn't even break her boots in before, but also reported feeling wonderfully comfortable in these boots. Can't go wrong buying these!!

Great But Runs Small Feb 05, 2009 By Cathee
I picked this after careful internet searches. Women rated this boot well. It is very light and comfortable. There is no break in time. The sizing is a big issue. I have always worn a 6M in any boot I have purchased in the past. I am wearing a 7.5M in this boot!! The picture makes the shoe look as if parts may be blue...it is not. They are grey-green suede, grey and yellow.

Comfy, Secure, Stable & Well-Performing Nov 04, 2011 By Sensual Satine
Most people associate me with stilettos and when they hear that I hike, jaws drop. I have been solo hiking segments of the Cumberland Trail in 5 day sections. I did a lot of research ahead of time regarding reviews, durability, etc. I have somewhat wide feet, so I even tried on Men's hiking boots to expand my options.

Did I mention my feet are baby-soft due to my regular pedis? I hate callouses. This causes a propensity for blisters. I've been plagued with blisters even with my athletic shoes when doing cardio. I have at least 8pr of "professionaly fit" shoes that all still cause blisters.

I have oodles of special wicking / cushioned socks. I preventively spray feet w/ moisture-absorption powder. I've bought enough moleskin to carpet my house...

And I've hiked about 65 miles since getting these boots 3 weeks ago - remarkably few blisters. (I blame them more on moleskin that didn't stay in place). Toe box was good - not tight, roomy enough. My ankles felt very supported. (Numerous ankle sprains in my past)

I wore them around running errands to "break" them in. Comfortable. Light. I've been on wet leaves, mossy slippery rocks, jeep trails, steep inclines - I didn't feel that the traction, etc was an issue at all.

I normally wear an 8 in flats, 8.5-9 in heels (depending on heel height). I went with a 9W. Whether wearing very thick socks & liners or thinner light-cushion socks, the size was a good fit & could accommodate difference.

I haven't had issues with testing water-resistance. They have gotten fairly dirty - going to try Nikwax cleansing gel on them. I might spray afterwards with waterproofing spray - more for dirt protectant than waterproofing.

I have to make sure tongue (right term?) is even before lacing up - can get uncomfortable after few miles. The laces are too long for me - I don't like wrapping laces around back. Not a major deal, more of a personal preference.

*sidenote, I had to assist a woman hiking in Tevas who broke her ankle hopping on rocks at Signal Mtn last wk. Not pretty. Had supplies to wrap it, ice pack, Advil & we hobbled 1.5miles back to trailhead. Please wear appropriate footwear & don't head out to trails you're not experienced for.

Lived up to my hiking test Nov 12, 2008 By VFox "VFox"
Needed to replace my hiking boots after many years. Found these Vasque Breeze and read a number of articles and reviews on them. They did not require much break-in time as I expected, felt good right out of the box. I did insert my DownUnder inserts in them after a few test hikes. The real test was 16 miles on the AT in Pennsylvania (AKA Rocksylvania) in the pouring rain. Kept checking for hot spots, none ever developed. Dry as a bone at the end of the day. I am extremely pleased with these boots. So much lighter than my old favorites. Not sure when the water proofing will wear off.
