This is actually a review of the Breeze GTX. As an avid climber, and soon becoming a hiking enthusiast I wanted a good all around packing/hiking boot that would last me through long treks as well as walks to the crags. This performed beautifully!!!! As a matter of fact on the first day I wore them they were SO sticky I climbed a short route in them! Vasque lover for life! No I repeat NO blisters yet. However, I have not hiked futher than 2-3 miles. They are extremely light and really allow you to pick up the pace when you need to book it. Plus they are stylish enough that I wear them around campus when there is Ice. Havent fallen yet!

A +++++++

If you are new to hiking/backpacking or just want a decent approach shoe for the crags give these a try. However, I would not carry more than 40 lbs on your back though.

I went on a 17 mile hike while breaking these things in and they were great... only got one blister on the back of my heal... duck tape saves me again!

BTW this was my first backpacking trip and i was expecting alot more foot related problems... but only 1 blister
