Dollar for dollar, I have never had a nicer boot.

I'm 6' tall weigh 200lbs wear size 10 1/2.

Mine had the original V-Lug sole. Work's great for hard packed dirt. I've owned them for eight years and had them resoled once. I've spent days with them submerged panning for gold, the Goretex never failed.

As for hiking/hunting, I average about five miles a trip (I'd say average 15 trips a year), but the only trails here, are the ones you make (or deer trails). As for comfort, Never had a blister or sprained ankle. The Vasque innersole is replacable, so you can get different inserts to better fit your foot. I also use them for snowshoeing. The soles "self clean" so you don't have mud build up like a Vibram style sole. I'm buying another pair this year cause the shank in the sole is getting soft and bending, but I've jumped on a million rocks (basalt and A'a A'a lava) so I'm not complaining. I recommend these boots to anyone who does outdoor activities.
