Vasque Mens Alpine GTX Hiking Boot 7944

Pros: Sturdy, well built and comfortable. will keep feet warm and dry. Double tongue, nice feature
Cons: Fit, explained before is the only issue. Inside doesn't mold readily to my foot.

A well built boot with a sort of lace locking loop before the last two loops that is useful for determining the tension over the foot. I had ordered wides but that can be subjective as my foot isn't overly wide but still felt a bit tight on the sides. There is very little flex in the sole which I had expected but will hope for a little more as the boot breaks in. Ditto for the width as they are leather. Other than the width issue I found them quite comfortable and they did remain dry after sloshing around in the snow and mud. They will be excellent for crampons and snowshoes.
