The brand new Vasque Breeze LT GTX boots are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn. They climb. They grip in dirt, on rocks, in mud, and in the rain. They support. They keep water out. More than any other boot I’ve used, these merge the support of a boot with the comfort and lightness of a trail runner. They are impressive.
I have small feet so I always worry about shoes fitting right. These are, so comfortable and durable. I have been wearing them every day during my walks and feels like I have worn these boots for a decade.
Vasque has made the Breeze line of boots for going on 15 years now, a dependable series of lightweight, easy-wearing boots meant for all-around performance. The newest iteration is a massive departure from the Breeze IIIs, which we already liked.
That lightness appears to be thanks to the Vibram Litebase outsole, a relatively new outsole material that can be found on a few different hikers. The midsole feel is cushy with plenty of rebounds. For a shoe this light, they don’t have the marshmallow feel that some trail runner-based hikers. They feel confident, snappy, and supportive while walking.
The uppers are light and, breezy, with microfiber panels that feel a bit like suede and are abrasion-resistant. A stiff rubber toe cap provides more protection than other boots, but can’t compare to a beefy leather boot. There’s just enough of a stiff rubber cup for your ankle/Achilles to provide backfoot support too.
You’ll be surprised at how natural these feel. I first saw these over the summer and wanted to try it, now that I have I can’t stop wearing them.
