I've found these to be a solid shoe, that in some circumstances is among the best I've tried but some factors mean it's not my first choice for other situations. I find the well padded tongue and ankle cuff very comfortable making them ideal to spend a long time in, however, this padding also holds water so wouldn't use it when likely to be getting wet often. The aggressive sole works well on soft terrain and the midsole does a good job of preventing rock strikes from hurting the bottom of the foot, however, I found it a bit clumsy and heavy for running on harder ground.
All in all, a shoe that I'd rate highly for trail running, and worth looking at for expedition length adventure races, where the comfort, durability, and aggressive sole are more important than a lightweight, nimble slipper.For more details please visit: http://www.vasque.com  Page 3 of 3
