Vasque Axis Gore-Tex® Hiking Boots - Waterproof (For Women)

[...]the boots were fine. These are great boots and the price is the best I've seen

These boots have a stiff midsole material unlike other Vasque trail shoes that I own which have an eva midsole. The result is no cushioning and will get very little use.

I think the hiking boots would have been great if they had fit. I ordered a size bigger and they were still too small so I sent them back. Unfortunately there wasn't a lager size available to replace them.

The site recommends that you buy a half size up, which I did, and it fits perfectly. I didn't have to break them in at all, they were very comfortable on even the first wear and have terrific ankle support which I definitely appreciate. The grip is good, and although it doesn't have significant arch support, orthotics are easy enough to slip in. I haven't tested the waterproof functionality yet but I already know I am happy with these shoes.

Very comfortable - durable and clean up easily
