 Brand : Vasque
Item : VSQ0032
Vasque Blur Men's Trail Running Shoes won the 2006 Outside Magazine Gear of the Year award for the amazing control and stability on rough trails. The key to these Vasque shoes is the Keystone Control System. By utilizing mid-foot straps that connect the lacing system directly to the sole, the Blur Trail Running Shoes assure that your foot stays in place to take full advantage of the dual-density EVA midsole and traction of the Vasque Blur outsole. In addition to the Blur's excellent support, their light weight of only 1lb 7oz (size 9) lets you get more miles out of the day.

Vasque Blur Trail Running Shoe - Men's



Solid Trail Shoe
Very stable shoe, in the muck, through the roots and on the road - esp if you are a big guy - I weigh in at a reasonably fit 245 and need a shoe that will hold up under the abuse that weight puts on a shoe - Strong lateral support, good cushioning and light enough to be agile in the technical stuff. I hit trails 2-3 times a week so I do not know if it will be durable enough for a daily runner - but if it is like any of my previous Vasque's - it should do just fine.


Best shoes I've owned to date!
I've been running trails for over 5 years, putting in on average of 4050 miles a week in. I live in Germany where the weather is much like that of Northwest--rain and wet! These shoes are the best I've owned to date--a must buy!!


more like a boot feeling...
Maybe I have vastly different feet from the 2 reviewers here.... I have half a years use in Alaska in my Gore-Tex version... they are ruggedly built no doubt... a somewhat narrow and straight fitting last (Salomon like) as well as spot on sizing, it would pay to try these on vs. buying them blind.. Excellent heel cup! But to me, they have a very firm footbed, not much in the way of cushioning and the leather lace holes grip the laces and make it difficult to open the shoe to slide your foot in... a good shoe but I find myself wearing my Asics or NB's more due to their much more comfortable fit... maybe cushy foot beds would help these..???


Solid performer
I tested this pair by running a fast 10-mile wooded trail. I found them a bit stiff, but responsive. They moved twigs and stones and such out of the way with relative ease. And yet the shoes do not feel heavy or clunky. Just a bit "stiff" compared to my Anurva's (North Face's BOA shoes - which seem lighter and more flexible; sometimes a bit on the mushy side. But I digress, for comparison). Anyhow, I got used to the Blur's and really got to like them after a few runs. The Blur's are as good as advertised. Can't go wrong with them. Good luck.


Blur Trail runners go anywhere
I wore my trail runners in the mountains of Kenya through thick mud and on stone and gravel roads.. I pushed suv's through thick mud and the trail runners kept my footing, and I was comfortable wearing them for days at a time..
