| | About Mountaineering Shoes: |
|---|
| | | Mountaineering shoes are footwear designed for the sport of mountaineering. This sport takes place in either rocky or icy terrain, so mountaineering shoes can handle those conditions as necessary. Mountaineering shoes must be not only sturdy, but also have good, strong soles that can grip the rocks and/or ice to prevent slipping. Mountaineering shoes also tend to be waterproof or water resistant for protection from mountain weather conditions. |

Vasque Rift
Quickly among my favorites

Reviewer: High Pockets Drew from Kintnersville, PA
The fit of the shoe is a bit narrow, but nonetheless extremely comfortable. I put them on to "break them in" for a few hours, and instead found they were excellent out-of-the-box. Strangely, you can still feel pebbles through the vibram soles. Not a problem, though. Overall extremely comfortable and a definite favorite. I used a waterproofing product on mine, which significantly darkened them (from golden to brown, which I actually like better.

A+ shoe!!

This is my first Vasque purchase. I am so pleased with the shoe. I am not a runner but wanted a shoe that I could wear for hours and hike around various cities. The color is great, the fit is perfect. No break in period at all. I am a full size 10, normal width foot and this shoe fit exactly how I like shoes to fit. I travel overseas every so often and this shoe will be perfect for exploring cities and trails. No need for a heavier hiking shoe. Highly recommend.

Vasque Rift
Perfect choice

Reviewer: Sandi from South Carolina
I bought these for a trip to Alaska. Needed good quality boots but wanted a fun shoe too. These fit the bill. Ordered a full size up per other reviews - good advice. I always wear a size up in exercise footwear and this was no exception. I used these boots on the elliptical while on board our ship, hiked and canoed in Alaska, and used them for my regular 4 mile walks while in Ca. Just changed socks to fit the activity. All part of the same trip. These boots fulfilled all my outdoor activity needs for my 2 week vacation. Will keep them forever!

Sadly, the Boot didnt work for me

Reviewer: Camillka from Oregon
The fit was great. Comfort, cushioning and support were top-notch. I tried every way I could to keep these wonderful boots. (Oh, the style is incredible.) Unfortunately, I have been dealing with an injured achilles tendon and the boots at the top aggravated the tendon. If that was not an issue for me, I would have kept these boots. They are worth every penny.
Wears this shoe: I wanted them for camping.
