These Vasque Breeze boots feel good, breath well, and are light. They alleviated my heel pain without any additional orthotic insoles. They look good and did not need any breakin period. I got them on sale at amazon for $75. Glad I did. The size just may very well be true to fit (I think I could have ordered my size), but I like a little extra room so I ordered 1/2 size larger and always in wide and I have plenty of room which I like with no slippage. I'm satisfied! I also ordered Clarions and would like to return those but they have some sort of unknown dark stains on one of the toes (only worn in the house so far) so I probably cannot do so. Less comfortable and heavy!
