"Have over 300 miles on these in size 11. 5D (am in-between 11e-11. 5d) and these fit perfectly. Previously had Vasque Sky Walkers (light hikers) for 9 years (resoled with Vibram) and loved them as well, though I realized my feet grew and they became tight."

"I bought these boots for mountaineering, and they worked great. Great support, great traction, and very waterproof. I have had them for close to three years, and they still look and work like new. The sole has hardly worn down at all, over constant use in the alpine zone."

"I've put in over 400 miles on these boots and never had a blister. They are excellent. If fitted correctly, and given a proper break-in, they work perfect. Enough Said."

"Having had trouble finding a size 14 in anything comfortable, I wore these babies straight out of the box with heels cloaked in mole skin up Mount Whitney this past weekend. They performed great and I only have a couple nickle-sized heel blisters which were expected."

"I am amazed at the number of bad reviews I've read for this boot. I have always purchased Vasque boots, even when they were called Voyagers. My last pair, which were Hiker II's, lasted me 24 years, with several resolings. I think the problem everyone is experiencing is with the initial fitting."

"Purchased first pair from Campmor 2-97 and wore around house for about 4 months to break in. The shoes were very uncomfortable at first but appeared to fit properly. I noticed just before a trip to Colorado in July that the lining had worn through on the inside of one of the boots."

"I got the Apex because I wanted a heavy duty boot for backpacking and mountaineering. They accept step-in crampons and I had an OK experience with some Vasque Newbriers. These boots have pros and cons.

Pros - They are tough and provide good support."

"Where do I start with these boots. Nothing but blood, sweat and tears. I took then on several medium hikes with different sock combinations but nothing seemed to work. The initial fit in the store seemed outstanding. And still to wear them around town they are comfortable."

"I bought these boots planning to use them for heavy backpacking in the Rockies. After six months of constant use I still get blisters.

The boots are very waterproof, sturdy, and their Vibram soles give great grip on any terrain - but, if you plan to walk epic distances, your feet will feel like hamburger."
