Vasque Women's Breeze XCR Boot

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.

pretty darn good
Bought these for a guided "hill- climbing" Cuillin trip in Scotland, which consisted of five days of 9+ hrs per day of climbing/walking.I'm not very experienced but this is the first pair of boots (out of 4) that have been extremely comfortable and fully functional.My feet were not fatigued and had no blisters.They were roomy enough to substitute my own orthotic inserts and still accommodate thick wool hiking socks.They are quite grippy on all but very steep, slippery rock.My only minor complaints are the failure of the water-proofing and maybe a lack of "roll control" on steep declines.
