From Massey's:
"Looking to cover a lot of miles in a short amount of time? This aerobically-inclined boot is a willing companion. Airmesh and leather uppers make it breatable and comfortable in warm temperatures and under light loads.

From Backcountry.com:
"The Vasque Breeze Hiking Boot is a lightweight and stable boot designed for shorter backpacking trips with lighter loads or long distance fast hiking. The last thing you need on a 30-mile day is a heavy pair of boots weighing you down. So Vasque combined technology found in the breathable uppers of their trail running shoes with a stable hiking boot mid- and outsole to create a sure winner on the trail. Supporting the Breeze from below is Vasque's proprietary Vibram outsole, featuring aggressive lugs and a super stable heel and toe-off pattern. A nylon plate separates the outsole from the EVA midsole, and is clearly visible through gaps in the Vibram rubber. This plate has incredible forward flex combined with torsional rigidity letting your foot flow forward on the trail without being deflected by rocks and irregularities. Further, Vasque's high-quality DryTech footbed (which features full arch support) rests directly on the midsole EVA, which equals instant comfort and zero break-in period. Not too shabby! Finally, the Airmesh and Nubuck upper is super breathable and light, making the Breeze perfect for use in warm, dry climates. Should you get your boots a bit wet, the Airmesh dries quickly, making this boot great for all but the wettest climates."

"I am on my third pair, having worn out the first two in two plus years of day hikes and casual in the woods wear and I can't stand to have these on my feet! If I wear them for more than 10 minutes my legs and feet ache for the rest of the day or longer."

"I walk about three miles a day and then hike on weekends. I use these shoes a lot! I wear them with Red-Wing Wick socks for longer walks (heavier and more padding (also dryer). During the morning walks I used Costco sythetic fiber white socks. I slip around in them if the socks are not heavy enough (but that is how I wanted them)."

"I agree with the other reviewer here. These are very uncomfortable boots, no matter how I lace them my feet constantly slide forward. Even more seriously I do most of my hiking on Canadian Shield bedrock and the Vibram soles on these boots are extremely slippery on even slightly damp rock."

"Superb boot. Before considering any boot, it is wise to have your feet evaluated by a trained professional who knows boots and how to fit them. Also, a good insert instead of the cheap ones found in all boots, can make all the difference in fit. My Vasque boots are snug without an insert (my feet spread out 1."

"These are the most uncomfortable boots I have ever owned. They are ok for a few miles on flat terrain, but so are ordinary tennis shoes. I do mostly 8-15 mile day hikes in hot, dry climates. I have worked with expert boot fitters trying to salvage these boots, but nothing seems to work."

"I spent more than six hours during three trips to various stores and trying on countless hiking boots before deciding on the Vasque Breeze (Gore-Tex version). It had the perfect amount of stiffness in the sole and support around the ankle and forefoot."
