Here's what other sites are saying:
From REI:
"Vasque Kota XCR waterproof multisport shoes deliver flexible comfort and weather protection on all your adventures. Combination nubuck/split-grain leather and nylon uppers supply long-lasting flexibility, durability and breathable comfort on all-day adventures. Seam-sealed Gore-Tex® XCR® liners offer extended comfort with enhanced breathability and waterproof performance. Quick-drying nylon linings disperse excess moisture buildup. Padded cuffs and tongues provide comfort on the go; rubber toe bumpers protect feet and uppers from bumps and abrasion. Keystone Control System incorporates nylon webbing supports to help lock feet into heel pockets and footbeds when laced snug. Velocity last shape with curved toe boxes is ideal for asymmetrically shaped feet; provides a low-profile ride for better stability. Removable dual-density footbeds add cushioning to compression-molded EVA midsoles for all-day shock absorption and comfort. Thermoplastic urethane plates protect feet from sharp rocks and uneven terrain while adding rigidity for stability. Aggressive Racer-X rubber outsoles bite into both loose and packed surfaces for reliable and flexible traction. Closeout."

From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Vasque Kota GTX Men's Hiking Shoes give you excellent support and completely waterproof protection on the roughest, wettest trails. As rain starts coming down, your feet laugh at mud puddles and streams while the Gore-Tex XCR liners keep them totally dry and provide superb breathability. The mud-covered rocks and steep, loose trails don't have a chance against the high-traction Vasque Racer X sole. Kota GTX Hiking Shoes use the Keystone Control System in their lacing to pull your heel back and anchor it against the cushy dual-density EVA midsole. This system increases precision on ultra-rough terrain and increases support when you're packing a heavy load."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"A multisport shoe that excels when carrying moderate loads on trails, the Vasque Women's Kota XCR Hiking Shoe earned a Best Low-Cut for Backpacking rating in Backpacker magazine's 2007 Gear Guide. Why is it so great? The reasons are many, not the least of which is the tremendous support, especially noticeable when the trail gets rough. A molded thermoplastic urethane (TPU) plate with heel stabilizer located between the Vasque Racer X outsole and compression molded EVA insole creates a semi-rigid platform that keeps the shoe from twisting when the trail fades away to nothing more than an unmaintained boot path. This makes the Kota XCR a little stiffer than some other hiking shoes on the market. But Vasque uses similar technology in their trail running shoes so the feel of the Kota is not a whole lot different than their lighter models. Waterproof nubuck and pig suede leather along with a tough rubber toe bumper cover virtually all of the upper, addressing the usual beating that hiking shoes take in the backcountry. For lack of a better description, the Vasque Kota XCR Hiking Shoe's incredible fit feels like it's a balloon inflated around your foot. Both the deep heel pocket and Keystone Control instep lacing feel comfortably snug from start to finish."
