I bought both the Vasque Breeze and Clarion boots. The Breeze is a good boot (see my Breeze review). On the other hand, these boots are much heavier and not as comfortable. Maybe they require more of a breakin period than the Breeze boots which do not. I've only worn these inside my home to test them out and I have some how picked up  dark stains on one of the toes. Can't get them out or I would have returned them and most likely purchased a low profile Breeze shoe to wear. The Clarions do look good. I got my regular size in wide and the boot is at least 1/2 size to large but I did that so I could have the option to test out a lynco orthotic insole for heel pain which only alleviates my heel pain by about 50%. With no added orthotic insole, my Breeze boots greatly alleviate my heel pain.
