I purchased my pair of Vasgue Sundowners in 1989? They had no break in period. I put them on to go hunting over fairly steep terrain and not a blister to be had. They have worked well while kicking around in the snow and provided good support for my backpack and day hiking trips. I took them into the Saw Tooth Mountains in Idaho two years ago and hiked about 25-30 miles round trip with a 45 lb pack. Included in the pack was a tube of shoe goo. The sole finally started to come off, but with a couple of repairs, I made it in and out with no problems. Thank you Vasque. I have a pair of MX2s now, and will submit a review after our Idaho trip this year.
