VasqueWomen's Talus Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

I purchased this same boot several times in the past few years. I used to buy a size 6.5, until this last year, based on my feet changing and possibly a change to the boot fit. They have always run narrow in the heel and arch, and appear to maintain these features. I now order a size 7.5 for roominess in the toe box area. You might want to order these a half a size larger if you plan on wearing heavy socks for activities.These are a light boot for trail/hiking activities, and not for serious backpacking. They are light and sturdy, have great traction, and will last. There are no mesh vents since they are ultra-dry, and have a tendency to be very warm in the summer months. I love the thick, soft padding on the inside and top of the tongue, and all around the ankle support! You never have to worry about sore ankles when hiking for several hours! Like any good boot, they will need breaking in, but not for long. I plan on buying another pair or maybe two!

I have tried 25 different hiking boots that include every brand out there. I have bunions that make my toebox wide. Tough to find a good fit that are comfortable. These fit every checkbox for me. I can even wear my custom orthotics in them if I wanted to but aren’t necessary since they are so comfortable. I would highly recommend trying these hiking boots.

The boots are comfortable but the color is not the same as the pictures. It is a darker brown and not the tan color I expected. I wear a 6.5 but ordered a 7 and there’s room for thick socks. My feet are also narrow.Will return solely on the color.

My first pair of Vasques lasted 10 years of hard use. This is my second, and I expect they'll last as long. They're stylish, well-made with great detailing, sturdy all-season boots. Traction is great, even on ice (But not slip/oil resistant), and especially in fall-winter environments.Breaking the boots in took a few days, but even brand new, they fit well, and are lighter weight than earlier models with a good balance between breathability and warmth.The coloring is rich and deep and uniform red-brown.I'm looking forward to having these boots a long time and having them be my all-season go-to footwear.

I have searched for 3 months & tried on over 30 pairs of hiking boots. FINALLY I found these that fit my size 11.5 narrow foot. They are so comfortable right out of the box & don’t rub my ankle bone like others. There is plenty of room in the toe box. I am beyond happy with this purchase.

I used this pair hiking up over 22km at 2926 masl - and it was a miracle worker! It is very sturdy, stable and lightweight. Definitely recommend this. I’m also glad I studied the measurements properly. I got a size 9 wide (I’m usually a size 8 on regular shoes).

This shoe offers great support and was comfortable from the first try on.

Very disappointed in these. I have tried to get used to them, all weights of socks, all sorts of different lacing options but I strongly dislike these boots. I am bummed b/c I thought I was partial to Vasque but now I am going to have to finally break down and go buy something else. These create a lot of "hot spots' especially in the toe box. The are not comfortable and nothing like the Vasques I was replacing which I loved from day one. I compared carefully to try to get as close to the ones I was replacing but something about the way these are angled, they take the joy out of hiking and keep my feet in pain. I wish my other vasques were still available.
