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.

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.

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.
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.
