High quality bootI’ve taken these boots on both local trails in IL as well as on hikes through Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Rocky Mountain National Parks. These boot have been fantastic. They are extremely comfortable and durable. The boots are fairly light weight which helps combat fatigue. The Gortex waterproofing works really well as I’ve crossed multiple streams and walked in wet conditions. I’ve strapped snow spikes on these boots and hiked packed snow trails in early spring in Rocky Mountain National Park. I would highly recommend these boots.

Breeze 3's good but with durability/engineering issuesI bought 3's in Oct 2017. I'm a photojournalist and boots are vital to safety and to my work. I'm average size, 200#, but carry 25-35# of gear, 80% on pavement, 20% on terrain.
These boots are comfortable; I broke them in very gradually, and they have been a pleasure to wear. They give good ankle support which is vital.
But two problems.
First, the durability of the soles is poor -- though every other part of the boots is in excellent condition, the soles are thinning, the lugs wearing off, and I am feeling the street or terrain more than I did.
Second, the metal of the 3 top hooks is crap. It bends with any impact, preventing hooking the laces through the hook --and straightening it --which is unfortunately easy -- is ultimately going to make this dross metal break, which will render the boot less useful, or useless. Vasque should make these hooks of steel so they won't bend.

Not for wide feetGot the Model 7482 Vasque Men's Breeze 2.0 Gore-Tex Waterproof Hiking Boot, which looks similar to this one. I go it in wide at R.E.I. cuz the other really wide boot was too tall. I ONLY wear this for walking in the rain. Big mistake. This boot looked great but after one wearing I could feel the snugness. AFter I switched to flat tennis shoes, I think my right foot widened a bit and the pain was excruciatin on my tailor bunion. Ugh. Also, it wasn't really too waterproof on the front. Maybe this model has changed but it looks like the same features. Also the rubber tip looks smaller than mine did, so it would seem to be less waterproof. Anybody know a good place to donate boots. Worn these 20 times for an hour or less.

Second pair of BreezeHad the Breeze II's and they lasted me a solid 5 years of daily wear during the winter season + weekend hikes and snowboard trips. The new ones have been going strong for about 2 years now under the same abuse and they still look great. Everybody seems to be complaining about the soles wearing out, but I wouldn't expect much less from a boot that's actually being used. Best boots I've ever purchased.

The Best Boot, Not Even CloseI used to hike in Asolo's... only boot I'd worn for years. I need something tough, comfortable, and durable, and they just weren't that. What seemed like forever passed before I stumbled on the Breeze III, and after giving it a try up at Desolation, I knew this was it. That's probably as adventurous as I'm going to get with them, but knowing they can handle the worst I could be able to throw at them is reassuring. Now I'm JACKED for the next hike.
They do fit a little loose - I usually double up on the socks, so this wasn't an issue for me, but it's something to keep in mind. Buy these boots.

UncomfortableI bought these boots when they had just come out! I was super excited to use them and broke them in a few times when it was raining, the grip is something else! My disappointment came in after my first hike, I could not stand the boots and wanted to throw them away. The grip is fantastic in wet or dry rock, no matter how steep the terrain, the boot is very waterproof, but man was I ready to dispose of these boots. I decided to give them several other tries before ultimately deciding. I have hiked a good number of miles in them but im just not comfortable to the point that I would rather use running shoes. Unfortunately it will be some time before I can save up for another pair, and im still not sure if I would choose Vasque or try something else.

Almost Premium ProductThis is a great quality of boot, I can actually feel the suction of the Vibram sole and the waterproofing is flawless. I have used these boots through rivers, over mountains, in dunes, and even for climbing, both in the forest and the desert, this boot is super versatile and almost perfect. The only downfall is that it is not very comfortable. I'm not saying this goes to everybody, maybe it was just me. After a few hours your feet start to hurt even if it is not used on tough terrain. This is my first time using Vasque boots and I am undecided whether I would buy another pair. I really love them, but comfort is as important as durability.
