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. I almost bought a pair on sale today, but I noticed that they didn't look quite the same. Then I noticed the "Made in China," on the inside. I know that my previous pairs were made in Italy.

The Sundowner MX on the shelf above is a newer version that is still made in Italy, but it isn't the same boot. So I'm reluctant. Maybe Vasque will return to their senses and offer the Sundowner in its original form again someday. Until then, I can't recommend this boot as highly today as I did some years ago.
