This boot has the potential to be a great boot except for quality control issues in manufacturing. I wear this boot daily and about 30 days into my experience, I found the outer rubber toe piece start to separate and it hasn't gotten any better, believe! Obviously some issues in the glue they use in China where this boot is now made and that wasn't always the case. I won't be buying another Vasque boot, they're just not the boot they once were!
