I have been a long time fan of Vasque boots, purchasing my first pair back in 1975. This boot continues their lineage of high quality boots. The fit is exceptional, It feels like a natural extension of my foot. As I have a narrow foot, the Narrow size is an obvious advantage. The boot provides a sure-footedness that works on rough as well as paved terrain. That first pair of boots lasted for 10 years. I hope to see the same from this one.
