Pavement Breeze Waterproof Hiking Boot (Men)

Excellent cost to quality ratio on this boot when I purchased it. I was going to get the Merrell Moab 3 boot at REI (using their 20% sale coupon), but NR had a much better offer for this boot. I had this boot before and it lasted me 750 miles (and I am 155 lbs) of moderate to challenging hikes. The problem with Vasque is the toe box can be a bit tight so beware of this. Don't expect the water resitance to last forever. You will need to replenish it with DWR at times. I use Nikwax for that. Overall a very good boot but don't pay over $110 for it!

When the I originally bought a pair of Breezes 4 years ago I loved them so much, that when I can back from my 2 week hike I went out and bought a second pair to keep that continuity going. Since then both pairs served me well. I bought these and so incredibly disappointed that I returned them after one walk around the the block. Everything is cheaper. The fit is off. It's just a bad shoe. I'm writing this review in hopes they will improve their product so I can come back.

I have wore the Breeze shoe now for the 15 years. I had just purchased my last ones a little over a month ago and I can`t wear them. I wear them everyday for work on concrete and by the end of the day my feet are very sore. When you stop making them with the Vibram soles, they are not the same.

I’ve had these boots for about a year and a half and they’ve performed great. I had the Breeze 3 gtx before these and this is the closest they’ve come to those. Although they don’t use Gore-Tex or Vibram soles anymore, their proprietary materials are still just as dry, grippy, comfortable, and warm in my opinion. No major tread wear either. In fact I think the soles are lasting longer than Vibram’s so far. I don’t know why there’s so many bad reviews on these. I wear these almost daily for work out in the field and I also use them for hiking on rocky and rooty terrain and they’ve performed excellent. The only thing is that I had to take the laces from my old Breeze 3’s because the paracord ones these came with will slip and untie a lot. Other than that, these are great boots. Don’t be led astray by the negative reviews. Thanks Vasque!
