Reviewed by Chad from Knoxville, TN on Tuesday, June 22, 2010No break-in required. Very comfortable from the first day. Hiked about 25 miles in them plus wore them at work. I have high arches so the arches could have been taller but my feet are very comfortable in them anyway.

Reviewed by the blanc from wisconsin on Sunday, June 20, 2010I travel to Haiti twice a year and work in some remote & rugged areas that make running a challenge. These shoes should hold up great, and the price can not be beat. Some villager will get a great gift on my last day when I leave these behind.

Reviewed by crispeto from Portland on Sunday, June 20, 2010I rubbed a little bit of vaseline on the heal of the inner sole and re-inserted it. Now there is absolutely no squeak at all. These shoes are extremely comfortable, lightweight, great traction, and excellent for light hiking. I love them. Great price too.

Reviewed by The Bird from The North Star State on Tuesday, June 15, 2010I have owned 3 pairs of Blur shoes so far. Two were the men's version, and one was the women's. They are excellent running/light hiking/walking shoes; can be worn at work, on the trail, on the street, and in the gym. They have OUTSTANDING traction in both dry and wet conditions; on both ascent and descent of very steep hills. I have high arches, narrow heels and wide forefeet, with a longer second toe than first. These Vasque shoes accomodate every 'problem' area... one of the few brands that do this, aside from Keens. I do get some foot slippage if I don't lace them aggressively. I've only three minor gripes about the Blur. First, once they get thoroughly wet (from external water or internal sweat), its difficult to keep them from acquiring a smelly-shoe odor. Once they have, it's impossible to get rid of it. Second, the sides of the toe rands tend to start peeling after a few months of daily use. They don't detach, but they lift away just enough to occasionally catch on long grass, etc... otherwise these shoes are bombproof no matter what you throw at them. Third, if you do a lot of bending of the sole (for squats at the gym, crouching at work, etc.), the shoe will start to make a soft "popping" noise whenever you walk, just like the sound of a shoe with a broken nylon shank. Every pair I've owned so far has eventually begun to do this. One of the guys reviewing the men's Blur said it is a problem with the sole squeaking against the footbed. Could be. The 'popping' is minor, but annoying once you notice it. Nevertheless, I love these shoes, and will keep buying them. These have been my everyday, everyway shoe for the past 3 years.

Reviewed by Maine Mountain Trekker from Bangor, ME on Thursday, June 10, 2010For about the same price as a pair of standard running shoes, these do double duty as light hikers. Unlike running shoe manufacturers who bill some models as trail runners, these shoes actually have a sturdy mid-foot plate which protects from sharp rocks or roots. They also provide enough support to use with a light pack. They are definitely not waterproof, so are only recommended for fair weather. That said, they breath incredibly well, and are great in the heat.
