Comfy right out of the box By kr from ca on 09/21/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Runs NARROW! Great boot - felt good right out of the box. I ordered the wide and it still felt narrow but ended up being fine. Wore for a 1 hour hike before tackling a 9 hour hike - great traction on granite, very sturdy.
not a good fit for backpackers By shipper shopper from Honolulu, HI on 09/18/2009 Cons: Not Comfortable, Too Stiff/Not Flexible Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels half size too small, Feels too small Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I must order all good outdoor products online (not available in my state) to find what fits. For these boots, ankle and arch support was remarkably weak for a backpacker-toted boot - but perhaps that's why I prefer all-leather boots anyhow. Arch support was relatively weak as well and toe-box was shallow, so they fit surprisingly small, and I intentionally up-sized a half-size to account for extra socks for long hikes. Too bad...

I wore these boots for the first time on a 15 mile hike in the Ozarks as my starter backpacking trip overnight. They were excellent! I didn't get a single blister.

Nice boot, but, tight in the toes By occational walker from Billerica, MA on 09/16/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels full size too small, Feels too small Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The boot was too tight (with one size over) for comfortable walking. This was with a very thin sock.

By Adventure Girl from Little Rock, AR on 09/14/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day Hiking, Harsh Terrain, Long-Distance Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have had to buy boots/shoes for trekking and hiking a size too big in the past to accomodate a wider foot. These boots come in a WIDE so I was able to buy my true size and they fit very comfortably and very well.
By Happy Hiker from Eagle Creek, OR on 09/09/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Sturdy/Durable, Water Resistant Cons: Needs more arch support Best Uses: Cold Weather, Day Hiking, Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Light Loads, Long-Distance Hiking, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer, Casual/Recreational, Environmentalist Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Just got back from a quick one-night nine-mile backpack outing in the Cascades, crossing creeks, dancing on boulders, going straight up and back down again in my new Vasques. Boots fit well, with no rub spots (did have to readjust the tongue on my right foot a bit). Would like a little more arch support for my flat feet, but still love the boot and the price.

I would like to exchange for a larger size[...] I really, really like the boot and want it to work but I think I will have to return them.
