"These light-duty, waterproof leather mountaineering boots are equally comfortable on extended alpine treks or peak bagging expeditions.

Three-bar knit linings wick moisture and dry quickly; roller-ball lacing hardwear enhances lacing leverage for a more secure instep fit. Gemini double-tongue design enhances fit; outer tongues feature thick, waterproof nubuck while padded inner tongues have wicking nylon linings. Full bellows gusset closures keep out moisture and trail grit; full rubber randing protects toes and uppers from bumps and abrasion. Padded, contoured leather collars wrap comfortably around your ankles for support and protection. Removable, Dry-tech EVA footbeds cushion your feet, control heat build-up and wick perspiration. Bimodal 4 polyurethane/fiberglass insoles give the right amount of forefoot flex while still providing torsional rigidity. Lightweight EVA midsoles absorb shock and provide all-day cushioning. Durable Vibram® Granito rubber outsoles are compatible with most strap-on and hybrid-type crampons and perform well on any terrain. Outsole lug design offers superb braking, kick-off, traction and stability on uneven terrain."

"My first mountaineering boot. Comfortable right from the start and in no time felt like a part of my foot. Performed well keeping my feet dry and warm on long days cramponing, and light and sticky during rock climbing. Thumbs up!"

"I have been climbing for a long time. I have always had to go through a painful break-in period with new boots. This has changed with these boots. These are the most comfortable boots (out of the box) I have purchased. I will have to see how they do for the long-term endurance."

"Not sure what to say about this boot. I've had a tough time with it. Love Vasque. Have a pair of Clarion IIs that are 12 years old and a 10-year-old pair of sundowners with more than 400 trail miles on them and going strong. Had high expectations for the alpine but had trouble with the fit right away."

"Wanted a tough leather mountaineering boot that would keep me warm, dry, and stable and boy did I get it!

They should issue these boots in the armed services. I have always been a big fan of Vasque as I had a pair back in the mid eighties that I wore like slippers."

"I am a converted believer in gore-tex boots! These boots worked like a dream. It took a couple of days to break them in (mostly worn in house and office and on walks) but now they fit and flex better than any boot I have owned. They have a full length steel shank intagrated into the polyethlene insole."
