Vasque Breeze Hiking Boot - Women's

 Brand : Vasque
Item : VSQ0004
The Vasque Breeze Women's Hiking Boot is a lightweight and stable boot designed specifically for backpacking with light loads or long distance fast hiking. The last thing you need on a 30-mile day is a heavy pair of boots weighing you down. So Vasque combined technology found in the breathable uppers of their trail running shoes with a stable hiking boot mid- and outsole to create a sure winner on the trail. Supporting the Breeze from below is Vasque's proprietary Vibram outsole, featuring aggressive lugs and a super stable heel and toe-off pattern. A nylon plate separates the outsole from the EVA midsole, and is clearly visible through gaps in the Vibram rubber. This plate has incredible forward flex combined with torsional rigidity—letting your foot flow forward on the trail without being deflected by rocks and irregularities. Further, Vasque's high-quality DryTech footbed, with full arch support, rests directly on the midsole EVA for instant comfort and zero break-in period. Not too shabby! Finally, the Airmesh and Nubuck upper is super breathable and light, making the Breeze perfect for use in warm, dry climates. Should you get your boots a bit wet, the Airmesh dries quickly, making this boot great for all but the wettest conditions.

Vasque Breeze Hiking Boot - Women's



Breeze Hiking Boot is all that and more!
I don't know if I qualify as a bonafide hiker because my sport is endurance horseback riding. But Wow! When Vasque says "no break-in time" they mean it. I hiked out of canyons and ran down into ravines in these boots and felt great. No weight to them at all. Don't think I could get my ankle to turn over if I tried and as a bonus they felt great in the stirrups. I am buying my husband a pair for Fathers Day.


dry and cozy!
The Vasque Breeze Gortex is worth every penny! I just got back from a hike up Mount Washington on May 28th. There is still snow on the mountain so the trail from the Cog Railway was like one long stream. I was with 43 highschool kids on an outdoor ed. trip and when we reached the top I was the only one with dry feet. The boots had no break-in period to speak of. After two long days of climbing, the first up Mount Washington from the Cog and down Tuckerman's Ravine to Pinkham Notch, and the second day to the summit of Mount Chocoura, my feet were very comfortable with no blisters at all. The grip was amazing even on the slippery wet rocks at the summit of Chocoura as we encountered thunderstorms and hail while we were climbing. The boot is nice and light and that pale yellow along the bottom makes it pretty sweet looking.


great hiker, but not good in wet conditions
I am happy with this boot because it doesn’t need to break it and it’s light. It is great on the ankles; however, I did fall in a brook and had cold and wet feet for the remainder of the hike. I was under the impression, from the review of the hiker on Mt. Washington, that this boot was good in those types of conditions, but was shocked to find it was not.


Comfy right out of the box
Finally- a boot that fits well right out of the box. I have difficult feet to fit and I'm a notorious blisterer- so I'd say I'm extra sensitive to tight fitting boots. These are comfy, light, and breathable with a decent sized toebox. I've actually spent the past 2 seasons backpacking lightweight in trail running shoes or Keens, which has been fine, but I've been trashing my shoes too quickly. After half dozen backpacking trips with these, they're holding up well, and light enough that I can bring sandals too and transition in and out of them without being too burdened with extra weight. The only downside to their breathability is that I get a lot of sand in them (in sandy conditions I have to unload them every few minutes). On hardpack, it's no problem. Perfect desert and dry condition hiking boots.


My best boots...
I needed lightweight, sturdy hikers for my twice weekly hikes in the Sonoran desert. These boots are perfect, required no breaking in, and have been comfortable from day one. They provide protection to my once-broken ankle without any rubbing or hot spots. Whether on a trail, or scrambling up a brushy hillside,I would recommend these boots for anyone who does day hikes.
