Vasque Hiking Boots

There are several styles of Vasque Hiking Boots to choose from.  Before purchasing a pair, you should decide what type of activities will be performed.  Long distance multi-day trail trips will require a different type of footwear than an afternoon walk in the park.  Vasque Hiking Boots come in heavy leather or mesh fabric.  The stiff leather ones are much sturdier and will protect your ankles when on rough trails.  A deep lug design helps keep traction on dirt, gravel and even wet paths.  All Vasque Hiking Boots need to be broke in before using on long journeys.  This one in particular you should wear on short one to two hour treks at a time until you are satisfied with they’re fit and feel.  Click on the image to read more.

On a ten-day trip in New Mexico at the Philmont Scout Ranch, three of us used this style of Vasque Hiking Boots and trekking poles.  All were different height and weight, but found them to be comfortable and held up to the trip very well.  This was seven years ago, and I still have mine.  They fit even better now that they have been worn for a longer amount of time.

When buying the softer type Vasque Hiking Boots, they do not require as much break in time.  Vasque Hiking Boots like these are great for flatter trails with fewer obstacles.  You could even do some light jogging in these after proper break in.  You still want to wear a wicking sock, to keep the feet cooler and dry.   They are also lighter in weight, which could allow you to cover more ground with out your legs and feet growing weary.  Run your mouse over this image to buy.

When wearing Vasque Hiking Boots, or any footwear like it, make sure to protect your feet from hot spots that cause blisters.  You want to keep your feet as dry as possible.  When the skin gets soft it bruises easily which causes blisters.  It is best to wear two pairs of socks, a liner and a heavier wool sock for cushion.  The liner wicks moisture away from the skin.  Let the movement  between the two socks and not your feet and the footwear.  If taken care of, Vasque Hiking Boots could last you many years.
