By K9 and Kids Mom from Alabama on 11/08/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Stable, Water Resistant, Well made Best Uses: Day hikes, Everyday, Night walking, On a running track, Walking the dog, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These are great shoes. I have owned mostly Merrels and Solomons over the years and this is my first pair of Vasque's. I will definitely keep them on my list of comfortable shoe brands. I usually wear an 8.5 to 9 and the 9 fit fine. The shoes are roomy in the toe area and fit great. They were a little stiff on the top when I first put them on, but after wearing them around for a couple of minutes it disappeared. This continued as I wore them around the house on and off for 2 days. I then wore them out to meet the girls at the running track and walked 3 miles pushing a double stroller with no issues or stiffness concerns. I think they just need a little breaking in period. With my Solomons and Merrels they were definitely more supple on the top of the shoe and lacing area from the beginning and needed no break in period. However, they were a different shoe material( softer suede-like/mesh) and not waterproof/goretex/smooth leather like these. The traction is great and I feel my feet/ankles will be well cushioned and supported when I do take them on the trails to run. Laces have been great too and no issues with coming untied. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because for 5 stars the shoe should feel like it was molded perfectly for my foot and need no breaking in.
Solid all terrain running shoe By Spok9 from Spokane, WA on 10/09/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Day hikes, Everyday, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I like this shoe. Most of the comments were from hikers, but I run daily, often on varied trails. I prefer a touch more flexibility, but overall, I am very satisfied with this shoe, and am happy that I can run in wet weather now.
Great trail & rainy weather shoe!!! By On the trails with my dog =] from Upstate NY on 09/29/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Compatible with orthotics, great arch support, Great Traction, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Everyday, Trail running hiking, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have a 1-yr-old Jack Russell Terrier who needs a LOT of exercise. This shoe has been great for walking or running with him on trails. I've worn it in the pouring rain & my feet have stayed dry as a bone. I have pronated arches, and this shoe provides excellent arch support as well as ankle support & stability. A Jack Russell in the woods is wont to charge towards little critters, this shoe helps me hold onto the leash without twisting an ankle!!

These shoes feel so secure. They are sturdy without being stiff or cumbersome. And so far my feet don't get tired of being in them!

But, I love the price and the gore-tex membrane. They support my arches nicely, breathe well for waterproof gear, and have not caused hot spots or blisters on my day hikes.

Most excellent & comfortable By mayqueen from Rochester, NY on 09/07/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day hikes, Everyday, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Excellent fit and comfort right out of the box. I walk my dog in wet grass and on a creek trail daily. My feet are dry as noodles -- aah...
They are neither too heavy or light; just right. Nice reflective touches as well. Very helpful. Very glad I chose them.
These shoes make my feet sing:) By Alaskan Outdoor Girl from Anchorage, Alaska on 08/31/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Stable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Cold weather, Day hikes, Everyday, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: They fit perfectly the moment I put them on. I have worn them hiking, crossing streams, exploring wet tundra, berry picking, running, and walking around town. These shoes are warm and waterproof which will come in handy for running in snow and slush this upcoming winter. The only thing I do not like is the insoles, so I removed them and put in a pair of Superfeet, now they are perfect.

They look great on and have been wearing them with jeans around town. They are very comfortable and not as heavy as some trail shoes. I am pleased. The toes are a bit narrow. I will look to this brand again.

The fit was good but they were very stiff and didn't have much give to them at all. They were also quite heavy.
