| Product Review: Material: Nubuck and Airmesh Lining: Nylon Sole: Vibram Contact, Contoured Phylon Lacing: Standard Shank: Nylon plate The Vasque Breeze Hiking Boot is a lightweight and stable boot designed for shorter backpacking trips with lighter loads or long distance fast hiking. The last thing you need on a 30-mile day is a heavy pair of boots weighing you down. So Vasque combined technology found in the breathable uppers of their trail running shoes with a stable hiking boot mid- and outsole to create a sure winner on the trail. Supporting the Breeze from below is Vasque's proprietary Vibram outsole, featuring aggressive lugs and a super stable heel and toe-off pattern. A nylon plate separates the outsole from the EVA midsole, and is clearly visible through gaps in the Vibram rubber. This plate has incredible forward flex combined with torsional rigidityletting your foot flow forward on the trail without being deflected by rocks and irregularities. Further, Vasque's high-quality DryTech footbed (which features full arch support) rests directly on the midsole EVA, which equals instant comfort and zero break-in |
