RYF: Vasque hiking boot on sale @ Amazon for about half off (around $70)
#1
Sold and shipped by Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Vasque-Waterproof-...B008N4GSJM

I dont' think this deal will last long before they run out of supply.

I believe these are great boots in terms of comfort. I went to my local hiking store before a trip to Peru several years ago to hike the Inca Trail. I ended up purchasing a Vasque brand boot.

I normally wear 10.5 wide in normal shoes. But when I purchased my Vasques several years ago, I ended up getting 12 normal width. Those boots didn't end up requiring a break in period (even though they suggested it and I ended up doing it, by wearing them to work every day for 30 days before my trip....yet they felt perfect from day one). During my 40 kilometer hike, they performed wonderfully. I never developed any foot problems or blisters. I was astounded by how well they performed. They are old now and starting to fall apart. This sale came at the perfect time.

10.5 = 12? that seems way off.

Vasques were my first real boot back in the late 80s early 90s? Blue and tan -- Skywalks. Went to the top of Half Dome several times and to Whitney once. Never a blister or a sore foot.

Thanks, ordered 2 sizes, Amazon has free returns on shoes and clothing, so I try them and keep one that fits best and return the other one.

Sorry everyone. I meant that I normally where in 10.5 in normal shoes. Of course, boot sizes have to be adjusted upwards due to the thick hiking socks. I sized mine with (what appeared to me) some very nice, very thick socks that had wool content in it.

Yeah space, I'm thinking I probably should have done the same, since this is a slightly different boot model from Vasque than my last.
