User Review: Vasque Breeze GTX XCR

Vasque Breeze GTX XCR
Above: The current Breeze GTX XCR, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Reviewed June 2, 2006 by Joe

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Materials: leather and Gore-tex
Use: hunting, fishing, shed hunting, wandering
Break-in Period: a week
Price Paid: $130

These are the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. I have put in 16-mile fishing trips with the boots being completely submerged within the 1st hour and did not get a blister. I would almost liken wearing these boots as sex with your feet. They also have a nice short break-in time as is the case with most composite boots.

However, durability-wise these boots are lacking. I was able to destroy them from hunting and fishing in them in less than six months. Also, these boots are advertised under the guise of being waterproof but during my first real trip with them I crossed an extremely shallow stream and proceeded to feel my sock absorbing said stream.
