Vasque Ranger Hiking Boots (For Men)

great value for the price. Purchased a second pair after receiving the first pair. Great mountain footwear for the summer.

I have used these boots on only one hike so I cannot comment on their durability. Comfortable out of the box but I swapped out the insoles for superfeet to increase the arch support and walked in them for the day doing chores. The next day hiked 14 miles on muddy trails and herd paths in the Adirondacks. Knowing they would not be waterproof I was nonetheless pleased with the overall performance. Good grip on dry and wet rocks and light but reasonably protective underfoot. They dried quickly as did my socks and by the end I had minor hotspots on the heels but no blisters. Their best use is on drier trails or bushwhacks with daypacks.

Got these at a "special, special" price and they are worth it! They are a light boot more suited to formed tracks or travel. Wouldn't bush bash or river travel them though! MORE than happy to recommend and repurchase.

One boot is obviously larger than the other, but it just so happens that it's for the foot that is slightly larger, so fit is not an issue. Looks a little weird if you focus on it.

I just use the hiking boot for casual walks and everyday use and it feels great.
