Decent boot after a couple hikes
By pk from mexico city on 09/02/2009
Pros:
Great Traction, Lightweight, Water Resistant
Cons:
Too Stiff/Not Flexible
Best Uses:
Harsh Terrain, Wet Conditions
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
I bought these boots for multi-purpose hiking, including light mountaineering, in central Mexico where I live. After three weeks, I've worn them walking to work, on a day hike at a 15,000 foot volcano, and on a weekend backpacking trip. They don't flex at all in the sole and gave me a moderate heel blister on the day hike, but they seem to be breaking in okay. Synthetic materials mean they're light, which somewhat compensates for the stiffness from a comfort standpoint. Durability doesn't look like it will be a problem. I'm doing a four-day backpacking trip in Peru this month and plan to attempt a 17,000, glaciated volcano next month, so those trips will be the real test. For the price (about $120 with rebates), I can't complain.

Better uphill than down
By Grumpy old guy from Sierras on 08/21/2009
Pros:
Ankle Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Sturdy/Durable, Water Resistant
Best Uses:
Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Long-Distance Hiking, Wet Conditions
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments:
I used them on a week-long off-trail mountaineering trip. The only issue was on steep downhill on-trail with heavy pack. There is a ridge that runs across the footbed between the ball of the foot and the toes (probably for gripping with your toes). I needed to fiddle with the lacing to keep my foot from slipping forward and over that ridge with the ball of the foot.

Comments:
I hike at least 4 miles everyday year round in rocky terain. I have 3 other pairs of boots (Asolo) that I rotate . The Vasque boot is so stiff it does not flex and causes blisters. I have 2 other pair of lite weight Vasque boots that are great but the LT Mountaineering boot is a very poor design.
