User Review: Vasque Clarion GTX

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

Reviewed June 4, 1998 by an anonymous hiker

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Materials: leather
Use: moderate/difficult trails with 50 lb. pack
Break-in Period: 3 weeks
Price Paid: $160

I purchased these boots to replace my first pair of Vasques which I had for 7 years. I broke them in on some trails around home but their first big test was the Minong Ridge Trail on Isle Royale. The ankle support was great on this difficult trail and after logging 50 miles in 9 days I had not a blister! I probably should have had a heavier boot for this trip but the Clarions did the job. I strongly reccommend these boots.
