User Review: Vasque Breeze GTX XCR

Reviewed July 9, 2009 by Jared Spokowsky

Rating:
Price Paid: $150

This is the by far the worst boot I have ever owned. I read all the reviews and against my better judgment i went ahead and bought a pair on the brand recommendation from several people I know.

Right off the bat the toe box is tight. They are no where near Gore-tex, at best they hold up to a light dew. I've only put about 40 miles on them and they have a rip in the mesh netting where the boot flexes (from normal wear not damage) and to top it off the sole is separating on one of the boots.

As for the comments about them being slippery on wet surfaces, it's worse than being on wet ice. I'm buying something different because I can't afford a header with a three year old on my back.

The only good thing I can say is they are light and aside from a tight toe box comfortable.
