| Product Review: Material: Waterproof Nubuck leather, Airmesh Lining: Nylon Sole: EVA, Vibram Lacing: Traditional Shank: The Vasque Breeze Low women's hiking shoe is a solid hiker that'll let the wind whistle through your toes. Built with the breathable uppers of their trail running shoes and the stable hiking boot mid- and outsole, the Breeze low gives you the confidence you need for summer backpacking and hiking. Starting the Appalachian Trail from the south? Be prepared for heat and humidity with the Airmesh and waterproof leather upper that breathes far better than the other tough hikers in its class. A Flexframe 1 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 period. |
