Winter Use?I have found these boots to very cold for winter use. I thought the thinsulate would keep my feet warm but that assumption was wrong. I'm going to have find an alternative.

Not like the Breeze IIMy Breeze IIs are starting to show some end of life after 3 years of very rugged hiking in the mountains. These have been great boots. So stopped into REI to look at the Breeze IIIs. I had my old Breeze IIs with me which helped me in the comparison. I could see how my old ones had worn and the changes to the new ones. I was disappointed in what I found. The soles on the new boots are lighter, thinner and actually had about as much rubber as my mostly worn-out soles. this means they are about 1/2 as thick as the old ones. the next think is that in the old ones there are these hard plastic pieces between the soles and the thick cushion layer. These are part of what made these older boots hold up and have torsional rigidity. This is gone and replaces with of all things a lighter piece of foam rubber. In the pictures it looks like the same thing but not in real life. The next thing is the front toe bumper on the old pair has taken some abuse but is still there. The new bumper does not look like it would hold up. Bottom line is the new boots look like fashion boots. So I gave up and found some older Vasque Talus GTXs in the REI garage. I hope they work out, they probably will, nice thick soles and apparent toughness. I have no idea why they would change from what was a great boot they are already making and turn it into a fashion boot. Oh well.

Not as good as its predecessor in qualityComfortable boot, have owned numerous pairs of Vasque boots but it seems the quality has degraded significantly. The old boots including the Breeze II were better made. The glue on the toe bumpers started coming loose almost immediately and since I had wore them in the outdoors (where you are supposed to wear them) they could not be returned so I have parked them in the closet to keep them from coming apart. This is the only major fault and the others are wear related so I will probably end up with another pair after the older pair completely fails.

Lace hooks are too short on this versionI have been using the Vasque Breeze style boot for around a decade (replacing every 2-3 years).
Support and general comfort is around as good as it used to be although it appears some quality reductions in a few areas and a few improvements. (eg wet floor traction)
However 1 major flaw that has caused and issue, and nearly has made me rethink replacing these next year with the same type.
The lace hooks are shorter and have a tendency to pop off the hook. I have created some work around but this is an infuriating feature. Unsure if it was a cost decision or just asthetics. Will the next update have deeper top hooks?
The old shoes used a deeper hook with round laces, the new one used a shorter hook with flat laces.

Awesome for Elk Hunting and BackpackingI spent 20+ days in the backcountry last fall in the Breeze III, and it was excellent. As a sponsored ultrarunner for years (and current Vasque-sponsored athlete), I have used a wide range of "waterproof" footwear. This is the first shoe/boot I've had that actually keeps water out after multiple hours/days, even in slush, bogs, and wet grass. I really like the Breeze III and will continue to hunt and backpack in the same pair next fall.

Sole of Shoe Wears out Quickly and Comes ApartI had purchased a pair of Vasque hiking boots several years ago, and they were amazing. They lasted me for about 3.5 years of fairly aggressive use, having hiked the White Mountains of New Hampshire regularly. When it was finally time to replace them, I was set on sticking with the company that made the pair that had already served me so well.
I purchased these in June of 2017. By January of 2018 the sole is nearly completely worn out and is peeling away from one of the boots. This summer saw very few long hikes as I has a 1.5 year old with me. I'm very disappointed with the poor quality of Vasque's newest hiking boot. They certainly are not worth their price.

From Texas Red Dirt, To Sitka Green MossI bought these boots as my first hiking boots. They have performed wonderfully.
I live in Texas, and have worn these boots all over the state. Paired with nice wool socks (Darn Tough), the summer heat didn't bother me at all.
On a recent hunting trip to Sitka, AK in October, I wore these boots the whole time. My feet got wet two times: 1) when we tipped our row boat into the Pacific going to the island and 2) when we hiked to the top of Mount Edgecumbe during a sleet/hail storm.
All and all, these boots have been an absolute joy to wear! Thanks Vasque!
P.S. They look like the day I bought em, about a year and a few miles ago.
