"I bought a pair of Sundowners in 1988 and wore them for 16 years. I LOVED them. They finally wore out and I bought a new pair. This pair is NOTHING like my old ones. I have been trying for two years to get them broken in. I have to make myself wear them."

"I have had more pairs of the Sundowner than I can recall over the past 15 years. I wish I still had one of my old pairs. The new ones, for me, are horrible. They raised the toe box up and did away with the narrow sizes. I just sent mine back.

The tight fit that has saved me from more than a few sprained ankles is gone."

"This boot is not the same Sundowner Classic made ten years ago. I have worn an older pair for over ten years, countless miles and climates, without any problems. This newer version is garbage. What happenned to my old boots? Now what do I do? Anyone have any suggestions for comparable boots?"

"My Sundowners were made in Italy in 1996. I purchased them new in 1998. I then moved to an outdoor facility near Bucksnort, Tennessee, (yes, that's the real name) and lived for literally an entire year in them, all outdoors, all the time. In 1999 I moved back to Louisana and earned my Eagle Scout while wearing these boots (i."

"I had heard of the good reputation of Vasque Sundowner as recommended by many of hikers I know. However, I must say I am quite disappointed with the quality and the feel of my boots. Mine was made in China. And this may explain everything about the degrading quality I experienced.

Vasque has ruined its own reputation by having their shoes made in China."

"I bought my pair three years ago. The Classic GTX is made in Asia now they are still an awesome boot! Even though Vasque switched production of these to Asia, rather than Italy, it is based upon the same classic last (foot mold/shape) that has gotten awesome reviews for decades."

Sundowner Classic ( purchased 2003)
Reviewed by Josephine, Feb 15, 2004

"I tried two different pairs of these boots after hearing glowing things about them from friends who've had theirs for years and swear by them. The ones I purchased don't reflect this, though--they are terribly stiff, strangely narrow in the toe box (even the wider pair I tried), and loose in the heel--and I think I have fairly "standard" feet, perhaps slightly on the wide side."

"These boots arent what they used to be!! Made in China. . . . . . give me a break!

I just purchased my third pair of Sundowners but it was the first purchase within the past 5 years. These new boots are garbage compared to the old Sundowner. I ordered them online and when I first opened the box I could tell right away this is not the boot I've been used to for the past decade."

"As another reviewer noted, these boots have declined in quality as they are now being made in China. I have owned two pair of these magnificent boots and trekked many miles without blisters or tired feet. They have been amazing for my narrow and flat feet."

"When I bought these a year and a half ago they were $210, Now at $175 I am a little annoyed, but hey they are great boots.

These are excellent boots for a week or so on the trial to day hikes to around town. They offer good support, waterproofness, comfort, and good looks."

"I noted the wide range of experiences with these boots mentioned on this page and wanted to contribute my own observations. I have owned a pair since fall '98 and have done sixty or seventy (maybe more) dayhikes (always with 20 lb. pack) and a number of multi-day hikes with a pack at about 50 lbs."
