Vasque Sundowner MX2 Gore-Tex® Hiking Boots - Waterproof (For Women)

day hikes short break in time

I really liked the look of these. Just basic brown leather - like my old Timberlands. At first they seemed great. High comfy arch and solid treads. I wore them around the house and they started rubbing funny on my ankle and top of my foot where the tongue is on the boot. It sort of broke my heart cause I was really into having another pair of great where everywhere, jump in the mud and climb up a hill type boots. I think these would be great on another person's foot - just didn't work quite right for mine. They'd really be worth a try however. Solid, beautiful, nicely made - in ITALY and a great price too.

Good quality shoes, very sturdy. But it is stiff and requires long time to break in. I returned it. I need 1/2 size bigger.

First of all, these pair looks great and professional! I've tried it for two weeks and have to use band-aids everyday. Moreover, the insole in the right moves all the way up while walking. I guess I'll wear it more before I launch my first trip. I still want to use it because it's water resistant and provides ankle support. Hope the stiff upper will be softer soon.

[*] They are pretty stiff to start with but worth the break in time.
