This will be my 4th pair of Vasques since 1988. My last boot was the original Sundowner which after a re-sole, I have used extensively for 12 years now! I recently bought the MX2. I have had them a few weeks and have put 80 miles or so on them.

They are clearly the best boot I have ever worn. My last few pairs were Sundownwers, but the new MX2 is pretty much the same except for a better sole and the leather is thicker and the boot is about 1" taller, so the ankle support is wonderful.

It takes a little break-in time, but if you have had Vasque's before you know it's worth the effort. Yes, $210.00 is a-lot for a boot but if they last like my old Vasque's I bought this pair now and I am 30, so I will probably buy my next pair when I am 40 or 42.

Can you say that much about your boots?

They also come in widths (one of the few companies who do this) So if you have a AA Narrow foot like mine. These shoes fit like a glove!
