 "Keep on Truckin'" 2010-04-09

I've been watching this model for years, finally bought the wife a nice set of boots. Break 'em in and stomp around (in the mud and water). Support, Quality, Comfort, No worries.

 "Scuff's easy" 2010-02-24
By Magdalene Moulatsiotis
I just received my boots in the mail and ordered them so I can bring them with me on a trip to Iceland. They do fit well, but the material isn't as quality as I had hoped (especially for this brand's reputation and price.) I wore them around town doing regular errands to break them in; nothing strenuous and not walking through any real extreme climate except for some snow. The toes and the sides of the shoes are very scuffed up now with large guages. I'm pretty disappointed that my brand new boots only looked nice and new for a measly 5 hours. I have no idea how to get the deep gauges out either. Has anyone else had this problem? How can I fix and prevent this from happening again?

By R. C. Bowers Jr.
Bought these boots for my wife for Christmas. She loves the boots! True to size and were very comfortable. Only problem was how they were shipped. They were just thrown loosely in a shipping box! There was NO shoe box. NO paper, NO bubble wrap. The toes of the boots were all scuffed up when I received them, which I believe happened during shipping. I decided to keep them, as I did not want to go through the hassle of sending them back. I would recommend these boots, but would suggest you somehow make sure they are packaged properly before they send them out to you!

 "Best boots ever!" 2007-12-03
By Sara W. Lomonaco (Northern NY)
I got a pair of these in college. I took good care of them but I wore them a lot - especially in the winter. They wore like iron and were comfortable for hiking. These were my favorite boots ever. After almost daily wear during the winter for almost 15 years they finally developed a fatal crack. I will now always have a pair of vasque boots.

 "Great backpacking boots" 2007-10-24
By ageonerd (Honolulu, HI)
I loved my Vasque Sundowner Classics! They were well broken in, provided ankle support and served my well in my college backpacking days along the Blue Ridge Parkway. 2 kids later my feet have gotten wider, so they no longer fit. I liked how well constructed they were. No plastic parts to break. I am contemplating purchasing a pair of Vasque Sundowner Summits as a replacement because Vibram soles are necessary for hinking across lava flows.

 "Best Hiking Boots" 2010-04-14
By F. Joseph Locastro
Have been wearing these boots for many years. Actually the current pair is my fifth. Best part is that they have great structure and do not hurt my feet. They also are not as heavy as other walking boots.

 "Ain't what they used to be" 2010-02-17
By John M. Fleming (Brewton, AL)
The first pair of these boots I bought some years back were hands down the best boots I had ever owned. When the soles wore out and bought two more pair of what I thought were the same boot. But, unfortunately this boot is made differently now and are not even close to the boot it used to be. The do not fit nearly as well, and the laces come untied very often for some reason.

 "two pair in nearly 20 years" 2010-02-14
By Outdoor Fan CO (Denver, CO)
I purchased my first pair of sundowners around '91. I still have them and use them for yard work periodically. The newer ones have not held up as well, but I still like the boots. I have had the second pair for about 9 years and have used them for climbing 14'ners in colorado as well as shorter day hikes. They are great boots, but the quality is not the same as the original Sundowners. The sole is of particular concern as they moved away from a vibram sole before I acquired the newer model. The sole has worn significantly and I have not used them as much as I did the first pair. In general it is still a great all around boot.




That said, I have changed to using hiking shoes more, and I have a pair of Vasque Blur's and like them as well.



Overall, the Sundowner is a classic boot. While I would recomend them still, my experience with the second pair makes me less of a fan of the Sundowner. There are other brands out there that provide similar quality products. If vasque went back to their original quality construction, I would not hesitate to recomend them - even at a higher price point due to the longevity of my first pair of sundowners. I wore those boots a boatload and they held up to incredible abuse. They should save that brand and have a version called "sundowner original" and make them like they did long ago.

The delivery of these boots was fast. However, they were for my husband and he decided to return them. I cannot speak to the quality of the boot. The return was easy.

 "Excellent boots" 2010-01-30
By Michael F. Brock (Murfreesboro, TN USA)
I purchased these boots because my other pair of Sundowners were starting to show some wear after about 15 years. The old ones still have lots of life in them but they have been so good, I wanted to be sure I had some new ones too. In the time I have had my old boots, I have worn out several pairs of "regular" boots. These boots are built to last.
