"Free Shipping. Vasque Men's Blur Shoe (Spring 2008) - Outside Magazine Gear of the Year Award 2006 The supple, well-cushioned Men's Blur Shoe by Vasque has an exceptional feel for the trail.

[650 g] Upper: Microfiber and Airmesh Nylon Fabric Midsole: Molded EVA w/ Soft Crashpad Plate: Nylon Textile Outsole: Vasque Blur Lining: Nylon Footbed: Dual Density EVA Other: Gusseted Tongue; PU Reinforced Toe Rand; Reflective Trim; Strobel Construction"

From Backcountry.com:
"Vasque Blur Men's Trail Running Shoes won the 2006 Outside Magazine Gear of the Year award for the amazing control and stability on rough trails. The key to these Vasque shoes is the Keystone Control System. By utilizing mid-foot straps that connect the lacing system directly to the sole, the Blur Trail Running Shoes assure that your foot stays in place to take full advantage of the dual-density EVA midsole and traction of the Vasque Blur outsole. In addition to the Blur's excellent support, their light weight of only 1lb 7oz (size 9) lets you get more miles out of the day."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"For those making the transition from road to trail, the highly acclaimed Vasque Men's Blur Trail Running Shoe does an excellent job of combining sturdy off-road design with standard running shoe construction techniques. Although it's not as heavy duty as some in the trail running category, this makes it ideal for those who do some running on pavement, prefer a lighter shoe for fast-paced workouts, or do not plan on putting the shoe through a high mileage training regimen. With a Breathable microfiber and airmesh nylon upper and low-profile outsole, the Vasque Blur Trail Running Shoe for men is ideal for dry conditions, especially on routes where running over rock slabs and hard packed dirt are the norm. Winner of a 2006 Gear of the Year award from Outside magazine, the Blur offers the protection you need underneath the foot. A nylon textile plate provides a stable platform on uneven surfaces and dulls the otherwise sharp sensation when stepping on loose rocks. A molded EVA midsole with soft crashpad cushions the blow of repeated heel and toe strikes. And for those who share the road with pre-dawn commuters, the Vasque Men's Blur Trail Running Shoe includes reflective trim that shines brightly under the gaze of beaming headlights."

From REI:
"Blink and you'll miss him if he's in Blur trail-runners; they're lightweight, have a feel for the trail and can transition from trail to road. Breathable, abrasion-resistant microfiber and Airmesh nylon uppers are lightweight and flexible for comfort. Nylon linings absorb excess moisture and disperse it for fast drying; protective toe bumpers shield toes and uppers from abrasion. Padded tongues and collars add comfort and relieve pressure from lacing. Reflective detailing increases your visibility in low light. Supportive non-stretch strap harnesses your foot to the midsole to stabilize, reduce pronation and reduce load on soft connective tissue of instep. Removable dual-density EVA footbeds add cushioning. TPU shanks and nylon plates provide support and stability on rough terrain and protection from sharp objects underfoot. Molded dual-density midsole features Crash Pad a softer foam at the heel to cushion the heelstrike and assist in heel to foot transition. Vasque Blur trail-running outsoles feature aggressive, multi-directional lugs for superior traction and durability."

"I have been hooked to this shoe ever since the day I bought it. My type of running is mostly paved roads but I do a little trail running too. I have fitted the North Face XCR Gore-tex, but unfortunately, they didn't come in 1/2 sizes. I use 10 1/2 and this shoe fits me perfectly."

"Based on the other review on this web site and others I've read, I decided to buy a pair of Vasque Blur as I'm training for my first Trailwalker run held next May in Japan.

I don't like these shoes, I LOVE them. The feel I got when I put them on is the same confortable one as when I put on my hiking shoes."

"I have always been a huge fan of Vasque trailrunners, mainly the Velocity. Recently, the rep from Vasque recommended I try the Blurs after suffering a stress fracture I received while running in the Velocities. These shoes are EXTREMELY comfortable."
