Break-in Period: 3 hours

I put these on and basically walked 500 km in Spain and was one of the few who didn't have a blister. They are amazingly ocmfortable and sturdy. However I did have leakage and suspect that the Gore-tex is faulty and I will ask Vasque to replace. But comfort-wise they are amazing.
