 Soles split with very little extended useApr 23, 2010
By Betsy W.
"Betsy W."
I used these boots for about 10-15 hikes of about 10 miles each and they were very comfortable boots or so I thought. I really loved them at first.
Then quite suddenly the right and left boot developed a split across the ball of the foot. The right boot then literally fell apart underneath me. The leather uppers show almost no wear at all and the Vibram soles are less than half worn.
Vasque told me I was out of warranty so I should try the store (the hikes were over a 14 month period). I was very disappointed in their attitude overall.
I'm only sorry now that I recommended these to several of my hiking friends. The soft rubber under the sole makes them very comfortable boots but in my opinion it also causes the Vibram sole to split after it weakens at which point the end of the entire boot comes swiftly.
IMO, some of the "glowing reviews" here of these boots were done by well intentioned people who have likely done a few less miles in them than I have. Check out my photos of the boots that accompany this same review on other websites.
If you want boots that will last choose something else. Bob.

 Decent boots, but bewareJan 17, 2010
By M. Clarke
"MC"
The Wasatch GTX is generally a pretty good boot. They are comfortable and maintain good support on the trail.
Generally they have held up pretty well in the two plus years that I have owned mine, but they have developed cracks where the rubber toe cap meets the upper near the sole* that will soon render them useless once the GTX liner is exposed. This happened WAY too quickly for a (nearly) two hundred dollar boot. It's sad, because other than this detail, the boots were pretty good. *I should note that this is NOT something that regularly happens with boots
that I wear due to sizing or foot anomalies.

 Very good day hiking/light backpacking bootNov 02, 2007
By The Irish Patient
The Vasque Wasatch lives up to its reputation for unusual out of the box comfort. I took a brand new pair on a hard hike and rock scramble last weekend with no blisters or other problems.
The boots managed to stay completely dry even though recent rains had transformed the trails into small brooks.
Be aware that the Wasatch is a little on the heavy side for a day hiker. On the plus side, that heaviness translates into superior ankle support. The quality of the leather uppers appears to be a big step up over boots costing a little less. Also appreciated is the fact that the soles are softer and stick better to bare rock than is usual for a heavier boot.
The claim that the boot runs true to size is probably correct, but also a little bit odd because no one will buy these to wear with thin dress socks on sidewalks. Thick hiking socks will add roughly one-half size, and a hiking boot should also be sized with extra space at the toe. The bottom line is that my size (United States) in a dress shoe is 10.5 wide, while my best fit in the Vasque Wasatch was 11.5 medium.

Comfortable, waterproof, but not durable.Nov 25, 2010

I wore these boots very lightly for about a year and was happy with the fit and weather protection they provided. They were warm and always kept my feet dry. This last summer, however, the instep of the boot ripped when my foot slipped off of a shovel doing yard work. I own a pair of Raichle boots that I purchased in 1996 that are way tougher than these $180 boots. I spoke with a rep from the store where I purchased the boots to find out that the warrantee period had expired, so I was out of luck. The warrantee provided by Vasque is very poor. There are companies like Land's End that will guarantee their products for as long as you own them, provide you with excellent customer service, give you a full refund if you're not satisfied for any reason---and then there is Vasque.

Poor QualityOct 23, 2010
By Carrie Rinderle
I purchased these for my husband, who has always worn vasque with no issues, for his birthday. He wore them around the garage and backyard putsying along and never had the chance to hike in them before they fell apart (3-4 month period). We are very disappointed with Vasque. I don't know if we received a bad batch, I have the women's version and have yet to have a problem. Amazon only warranties for 30 days and good luck trying to get ahold of anyone at vasque.
