Vasque Clarion Impact Hiking Boots (For Women)

casual hiking in the foothills; my only problem is the top part of the boots chafe my ankles somewhat; I have to adjust the laces -

This is my second pair of Vasque boots and the quality is better on these. They're very comfortable and great for hiking. My only complaint is that the lace eyelets catch on each other occasionally.

I had hoped these would fit. They were narrow and very stiff. oh well...

I always have the best of luck with ordering via Sierra Trading Post and I have had this style and brand of hiking boot before, but this boot was small and created a hot spot on the ball of my foot. Unfortunately, I will need to return them.

A very versatile, comfortable, hiking boot!!!

I'm 72 years old and have a lifetime of weak ankles and very flat feet. My usual shoes are Birkenstocks, however I need a very stable supportive shoe for outdoor activities. These fill the bill. [...] Up here in north central Montana we have limited choices so I love your online service....Thank you

Looking forward to long hikes with no pain.

The boots are very sturdy, but to stiff for the kind of hiking I do.Good for work boots

This is the one I keep coming back too. No frill very reliable boot. Great for almost any type of hiking. Take a little breaking in but once they do very comfortable fit. I spend upwards of ten hours a day five days a week in these and have happy feet with no complaints. I am flat footed with high arches, go figure. Have two bad knees and one bad hip. These provide the support I need while not being to heavy. My only complaint is no toe guard. The way I walk the leather gets scuffed pretty quick on the toe. So the last pair I had a toe quard put on. Also, the lack of color choices. I have them dyed black for work. Do have an older model that is Gor-Tex. Not sure what the thinking was when they were dicontinued. Love them enough that I had them resoled. Leather and sole on these wears very well. On me the leather will eventually fail on the toe crease were it meets the sole but by that time the sole itself is about see through or has already been replaced.

I bought the high ankle support to protect two plates on either sides of my ankle...don't purchase for that purpose. I have to leave that foot unlaced....It irritates more than protects. But I liked the boots so much I kept them. Unlaced and all.
