Vasque Shoes

Tough enough to fit into the emerging low-cut hiking shoe category yet light enough to help you achieve personal bests wherever you roam, the Vasque Men's Velocity Trail Running Shoe is a great match for those who run on especially rough terrain. Substantial support on the medial (inside) of the foot makes the Velocity an excellent motion control shoe, ideal for runners who overpronate or have high arches. The Velocity Trail Running Shoe is equipped with Vasque's Mako outsole, an aggressive tread for traction on steep grades. A dual density molded EVA midsole and Beneke-Ceroprene rand provide cushioning and support that's critical whether pushing through a multi-hour run or just getting back out on the trail after a layoff. Between the outsole and insole a rigid plate of molded thermoplastic urethane gives the Vasque Velocity Trail Running Shoe for men torsional strength to handle rocky routes and eroded paths. If an extra aggressive urge overcomes you, the rubber toe bumper and mesh tongue gusset protect the foot from stubborn roots and loose debris on go-light, go-fast scrambles and canyon routes.

Very similar to the award winning Vasque Blur Trail Running Shoe, the Vasque Men's Mercury Trail Running Shoe offers the same great underfoot support but uses synthetic leather in place of microfiber in the upper. Although the shoe still feels nimble on paved stretches this does add three ounces to the overall weight. Still, the synthetic leather does enhance stability and provide greater protection in cold weather and on rough trails. The Vasque Mercury Trail Running Shoe's ride is characterized as soft and cushioned yet is sturdy enough that it does not collapse underneath the arch. To accomplish this Vasque uses a molded EVA midsole with an integrated plate of nylon textile. This softens the blow of repeated heel strike, while at the same time gives the shoe enough rigidity to provide a stable platform when dodging a low-hanging branch or dancing across a boulder strewn streambed. For those who are up and running before the sun rises, reflective trim gives the Vasque Men's Mercury Trail Running Shoe a high level of visibility for passing cars.

$94.95		For off-road running that goes beyond the soft surface paths at the city park, the rugged Vasque Women's Velocity Trail Running Shoe gives you the protection and support necessary to hop up and over boulders, jump across streams, and grind up narrow ridge routes. For intense workouts such as these, support and stability is needed from all of the shoe's components. The 1.2mm synthetic nubuck and breathable airmesh upper with welded thermoplastic urethane (TPU) reinforcing offers support without causing the foot to overheat. Underneath the foot a TPU plate provides protection from gnarly roots, jagged rocks, and torsion control over uneven terrain in general. This plate sits immediately above the Vasque Mako outsole and gives you confidence when running on rock slabs, descending switchbacks, or making your way up a pebble-strewn logging road. And above the TPU plate a dual density molded EVA midsole offers cushioning and motion control that becomes increasingly important as the mileage piles up. The Vasque Velocity Trail Running Shoe for women includes a Beneke-Ceroprene rand to provide even more protection from the wilderness floor, and a gusseted tongue to help shed debris.

$89.95		Part sturdy trail runner, part road shoe, the Vasque Women's Blur Trail Running Shoe is an adept set of wheels for both your neighborhood road routes and trail running adventures. In fact, the testers at Outside magazine were so impressed with how this shoe behaved on both road and trail that they singled it out as the 2006 Gear of the Year award winner in the trail runner category. Qualities that stood out for the Outside staff included a deep heel pocket that holds the heel in place, a roomy toe box that allows each digit to freely wriggle, and underfoot protection that doesn't feel clunky or tippy when road running. To give the women's Vasque Blur Trail Running Shoe the stability for trail use without an awkward feel on the road, Vasque uses a lightweight nylon textile plate above the outsole to provide rigidity on rough trails. They also use a sticky rubber outsole minus the deep lugs found on most other trail runners. The tread is still plenty aggressive and places the foot closer to the ground for a more stable feeling. That said, the Blur is best used for short to medium distance runs. For those training for an endurance run, however, the Vasque Velocity Trail Running Shoe for women is a worthy choice. The Vasque Blur uses a molded EVA midsole with soft crashpad underneath the heel for cushioning and greater stability. It works in combination with a dual density EVA footbed to support the foot. The footbed is removable in case the user prefers to insert their own insole. The Vasque Blur Trail Running Shoe for women also features a microfiber and airmesh upper for breathable comfort during fast-paced runs and warm weather workouts.

For fast-packing adventures and day hikes galore, the Vasque Men's Breeze XCR Hiking Shoe offers that perfect combination of lightweight comfort and solid support. An ideal boot for summertime hiking, the Breeze XCR's upper has large areas of breathable Airmesh and a breathable, seam-taped Gore-Tex XCR liner to keep water out when the trails are overwhelmed with spring runoff. The Integrated Technology System brings the Vibram Contact outsole, molded thermoplastic urethane (TPU) plate, and contoured phylon midsole together as one unit to provide incredible underfoot cushioning and support. The Vibram Contact outsole grips everything from muddy lowland trails to consolidated snow at timberline. And sandwiched in between this outsole and midsole, the TPU plate gives the shoe torsional strength to keep its shape when moving quickly along uneven paths or traversing an off-trail route. The Vasque Breeze XCR Hiking Shoe's fully padded collar reduces the stress of high mileage days, while the padded, gusseted tongue contributes to a snug, comfortable fit that seals out debris.

$144.95		If you prefer over-the-ankle support and protection but like the idea of the unconfined feeling of a low-cut hiker, then the Vasque Women's Breeze XCR Hiking Shoe is worthy of your consideration. Large panels of airmesh allow for moisture vapor to escape, and they're only 2.5 ounces more per shoe than the low-cut version, the Vasque Women's Breeze Low XCR. The upper also includes a breathable, waterproof, and fully seam taped Gore-Tex lining, a tremendous asset when blue skies turn to a gray downpour. For additional protection from wet conditions, waterproof nubuck leather completely surrounds the lower portion of the upper. Integration technology brings together the critical attributes of the molded EVA midsole, molded thermoplastic urethane (TPU) torsion plate, and Vibram Contact outsole. Instead of stacking these components as three independent layers, combining them into one interrelated unit reduces weight and unnecessary bulk. The Vasque Breeze XCR Hiking Shoe for women also includes a removable dual density EVA footbed for arch support and additional cushioning.

$144.95		For fast-packing overnighters or strenuous day hikes, the sturdy Vasque Men's Breeze Low XCR is considered a cream of the crop choice for those who prefer to go with low-cut hiking shoes instead of traditional over-the-ankle models. The exterior is plenty rugged for travel over rocky highlands, up sandy gullies, and through muddy valleys. For sure-footed contact with all of these surfaces the Vasque Breeze Low XCR Hiking Shoe for men employs the Vibram Contact outsole, an innovative mix of varying size lugs. The smaller lugs dig in like cleats on soft surfaces, while the broader lugs provide plenty of surface contact for confident grip on all varieties of rock. The waterproof nubuck leather upper strikes a smart balance between heavy enough for wear without tear and light enough for a trail running shoe-like feel. Large panels of airmesh allow the foot to breathe as the temperature or intensity rises. And underneath the leather and airmesh a fully seam taped lining of waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex keeps surface moisture at a safe distance from your foot. Although not readily apparent when viewing a picture of it on your computer screen, the Vasque Breeze Low XCR Hiking Shoe includes a torsion control plate sandwiched between the Vibram outsole and the EVA midsole. This plate keeps the shoe from twisting when the foot strikes loose or uneven ground and also dulls any sensation associated with stepping on sharp debris.

Not too long ago heavy, over-the-ankle leather hiking boots were considered the footwear of choice for scrambling up peaks and traveling rugged trails with a heavy load. Now rugged low-cut options, like the Vasque Men's Kota GTX Hiking Shoe, offer a lightweight alternative to their clunky predecessors. Although they may not be the best choice for those who have a history of twisting their ankles, for everyone else they're definitely worth trying. The cleat inspired Racer X lug outsole grips with tenacity on everything from snowfield traverses to scree-choked gullies. But what really separates the Vasque Kota GTX from its look-alike running shoe cousins is the stiff molded thermoplastic urethane (TPU) plate with heel stabilizer that gives the shoe such a supportive underfoot feel on uneven terrain. The 1.8mm waterproof nubuck and pig suede leather upper with rubber toe bumper stands up to off-trail abuse, while a Gore-Tex liner serves as a layer of protection from mis-steps at shallow stream crossings. In their 2007 Gear Guide, Backpacker magazine crowned the Vasque Kota GTX Hiking Shoe for men as the Best Low-Cut for Backpacking. One reason they singled this shoe out for praise was the fact that a test pair roamed 400 miles before the outsoles wore out. Right out of the box the Vasque Men's Kota GTX Hiking Shoe is a little bit stiff, but after a few test drives around the neighborhood they break-in nicely yet maintain the stiffness one desires for carrying an overnight pack on varied terrain. Do your adventures usually take place in dry environments? Then be sure to check out the Vasque Kota Day Hiker, a similar model that does not include the Gore-Tex liner.

$119.95		If you spend your weekends doing all sorts of things, from hiking to patrolling the sidelines at soccer games, the multi-purpose Vasque Men's Mantra Shoe is for you. The beefy Vibram Ananasi outsole delivers superb traction on trails while a molded thermoplastic urethane (TPU) plate inserted immediately above the outsole provides the stability you need when hopping boulders, passing the soccer ball, or taking the mountain bike for a spin. The Vasque Mantra Shoe for men also features a combination nubuck and airmesh nylon upper that not only feels supportive but offers the breathability needed for comfort on extended outings. A molded EVA midsole and dual density EVA footbed cushion the foot on hard-packed trails, rocky descents, and pavement pounding treks through the city.

$89.95		For those making the transition from road to trail, the highly acclaimed Vasque Men's Blur Trail Running Shoe does an excellent job of combining sturdy off-road design with standard running shoe construction techniques. Although it's not as heavy duty as some in the trail running category, this makes it ideal for those who do some running on pavement, prefer a lighter shoe for fast-paced workouts, or do not plan on putting the shoe through a high mileage training regimen. With a Breathable microfiber and airmesh nylon upper and low-profile outsole, the Vasque Blur Trail Running Shoe for men is ideal for dry conditions, especially on routes where running over rock slabs and hard packed dirt are the norm. Winner of a 2006 Gear of the Year award from Outside magazine, the Blur offers the protection you need underneath the foot. A nylon textile plate provides a stable platform on uneven surfaces and dulls the otherwise sharp sensation when stepping on loose rocks. A molded EVA midsole with soft crashpad cushions the blow of repeated heel and toe strikes. And for those who share the road with pre-dawn commuters, the Vasque Men's Blur Trail Running Shoe includes reflective trim that shines brightly under the gaze of beaming headlights.

Ambitious day hikes, such as the entire length of Zion's West Rim Trail or the Pacific Crest Trail portion of Mount Rainier National Park, require lightweight, sturdy footwear such as the Vasque Women's Breeze Low XCR Hiking Shoe. Whether your feet overheat easily or start to feel pounded as the miles stack up, this amazing light hiker is fully equipped to treat your feet with special care. The Gore-Tex liner is both waterproof and breathable, keeping you comfortable on cool, damp days and hot, dry days. On the outside a combination of waterproof nubuck leather and breathable airmesh help to keep the feet dry and comfortable. From underneath, the Vasque Breeze Low XCR Hiking Shoe for women combines an engineered midsole, thermoplastic urethane torsion plate, and Vibram Contact outsole into an integrated system that protects from sharp objects, fatigue, and soreness. The padded tongue and collar form a pillow of sorts around your ankle and instep, contributing to the first class treatment your feet receive as they traverse spectacular ridges and wind through shaded forests. The dual density EVA footbed offers additional cushioning and arch support. It's removable just in case you want to substitute it with your own orthotic or insole.

$119.95		A multisport shoe that excels when carrying moderate loads on trails, the Vasque Women's Kota XCR Hiking Shoe earned a Best Low-Cut for Backpacking rating in Backpacker magazine's 2007 Gear Guide. Why is it so great? The reasons are many, not the least of which is the tremendous support, especially noticeable when the trail gets rough. A molded thermoplastic urethane (TPU) plate with heel stabilizer located between the Vasque Racer X outsole and compression molded EVA insole creates a semi-rigid platform that keeps the shoe from twisting when the trail fades away to nothing more than an unmaintained boot path. This makes the Kota XCR a little stiffer than some other hiking shoes on the market. But Vasque uses similar technology in their trail running shoes so the feel of the Kota is not a whole lot different than their lighter models. Waterproof nubuck and pig suede leather along with a tough rubber toe bumper cover virtually all of the upper, addressing the usual beating that hiking shoes take in the backcountry. For lack of a better description, the Vasque Kota XCR Hiking Shoe's incredible fit feels like it's a balloon inflated around your foot. Both the deep heel pocket and Keystone Control instep lacing feel comfortably snug from start to finish.

$119.95		A multi-sport shoe for the woman who does a little bit of everything, the Vasque Mantra Hiking Shoe serves up comfort whether test-driving a new mountain bike, hopping boulders along a river bank, or setting out on a long day hike. A large portion of the upper consists of a thick 1.8mm water resistant nubuck leather which looks great but is also durable and protective. Panels of breathable airmesh compliment the leather, providing comfort during warm weather and extended outings. The Vasque Women's Mantra Hiking Shoe is equally comfortable underneath the foot as it is on top. A molded EVA midsole and dual density EVA footbed provide cushioning while a molded thermoplastic urethane plate offers support and stability to easy the strain of uneven terrain and encourage healthy biomechanics. All of this protection and support isn't much good without an outsole that grips on varied surfaces. That's why Vasque called on Vibram, the renowned leader in hiking boot outsole design, when selecting a tread for the Mantra Hiking Shoe. Known as the Ananasi outsole, this sophisticated Vibram tread grips challenging terrain even when moving at a fast pace.

If your usual trail running routes are often mistaken for game trails, then the rugged Vasque Women's Velocity XCR Trail Running Shoe is for you. Built Sherman tank-like tough, this sturdy shoe is built to handle the roughest of paths. In fact some people use it for carrying light to moderate loads on overnight backpacking trips. Weighing 12 ounces per shoe in a women's size 7, the Vasque Velocity XCR Trail Running Shoe is not the lightest but there are certainly heavier shoes in the category. But what you give up in weight you more than make up for in comfort and support. Classified as a motion control shoe, a dual density EVA midsole places a higher density foam on the medial side to reduce pronation. Users also often comment about the Vasque Velocity XCR Trail Running Shoe's excellent underfoot protection. A thermoplastic (TPU) plate has a lot to do with this, rejecting sharp rocks and other debris like a plate of armor. Vasque doesn't hold back with the traction, using their Mako outsole with an aggressive tread pattern to handle steep climbs on loose soil and descents along muddy ravines. The upper features highly breathable airmesh, that not only feels great when you're in the homestretch of a 10 mile run, but it also stops dust and sand from entering the shoe.

$119.95		A true cross trainer for the outdoor lifestyle, the Vasque Women's Kota Day Hiker is light enough for trail running, yet supportive enough for carrying an overnight pack or scrambling on off-trail routes. This shoe is perfect for a wide variety of people, from the person who has a casual interest in hiking, scrambling, and backpacking but doesn't want to buy a different pair of shoes for each activity. It's also well suited for the achievement minded person who regularly probes deep into the wilderness on marathon one-day and overnight excursions. Integrated technology combines the outsole, molded thermoplastic urethane (TPU) plate, and compression molded EVA insole into a protective and supportive underfoot unit that feels tough and stable, ready to tackle a rocky trail or kick up some dust on a trail run. Although the upper does not have as much mesh content as a traditional trail running shoe, the Vasque Kota Day Hiker for women instead uses a combination of 1.8mm waterproof nubuck and pig suede leather as the primary upper materials for improved weather resistance and greater durability. And for snug support that feels great on uneven terrain, the laces link into a pair of angled webbing straps on either side of the instep to wrap the upper material around the foot.
