The Vasque Sundowner GTX Backpacking Boot for women is a stylish boot that provides ample traction, support, and comfort for long-term use. The higher price point and the differing opinions of fit may deter some, but as long as you try on the boot before purchasing and ensure that the fit will work with your foot, this boot should provide weather protection, adjustability, and support for miles.
Vasque’s Grand Traverse Hiking Shoe for women is a midweight shoe that is best suited for hiking, slickrock scrambles or mountain biking. It is comfortable to wear around town or if your job has you standing on your feet all day. The Vibram soles are grippy and flexible, but thin, so they do not provide enough support underfoot or at the ankle for technical trail runs or backpacking in rough terrain. The sizing runs small, and this shoe will best fit women with a narrow foot.
The Vasque Mantra 2.0 Hiking Shoe for men is a comfortable shoe that is suitable for hiking in moderate conditions. Some concerns about durability issues, lack of stability, and waterproofing failures may deter some hikers who frequent very-rough terrain in extreme weather, but for those who hike in milder conditions and prefer moderate support and a comfortable fit, this is a good option.
The Vasque Grand Traverse Hiking Shoe for men is a lightweight, versatile, and well-constructed shoe that provides a balance between approach shoes and trail running shoes. The narrower fit, limited cushioning, and sensitivity provided may not be suitable for some, especially those who prefer pure climbing performance in a shoe. However, the versatility this shoe provides makes it good at both hiking and approaches, but not the best at any one category.
The Vasque Sundowner GTX Backpacking Boot for men is a comfortable and seamless-upper boot that has garnered some mixed reviews in recent times, due to manufacturing issues. The reports of durability problems with the soles cracking, soles coming off completely, and the boots wearing-out much quicker than the older models will deter most from purchasing this boot. Once the quality-control issues are fixed, we look forward to seeing how this boot performs on adventures, but for now, we would say to purchase with caution.
The Vasque Mantra 2.0 GTX Hiking Shoe for men is a comfortable, breathable, and moderately-supportive shoe. Possible durability and thinner tread issues may deter more heavy-duty hikers, but the moderate support and mostly waterproof material make this a good choice for casual hikers.
The Vasque Juxt Hiking Shoe for men is top-rated for its comfort and versatility, as it is able to take you just about anywhere, as long as it is not wet. This shoe does well on desert hikes because of its ventilation and stability, but does not preform well in snow, mud, or other slick surfaces, and does not offer any waterproofing. People love this shoe as a fantastically comfortable all-around option that can take you around town and on shorter hikes, but also as a hiking shoe that can be used on some short backpacking trips because of its lightness and good traction in most settings. It is recommended to try on this shoe before purchasing because of the narrower toe box (wide sizes are available).
