Men's Velocity VST Trail Running Shoe

So I am in Afghanistan and I needed a shoe that would stand up to a daily 3.5 mile walk/run.The terrain is rocks, everywhere rocks so a good shoe is very important. Right out of the box this shoe disappointed.1. It is tight, I have never really wore a wide shoe but this shoe fits tight, consider a wide even if you are not accustom to it.2. The price was not right for the quality....keep reading you will see what I mean.3. The shoes both had a blow out of the sole within 4 weeks of wear. The soles were put on the shoe with an air pocket or something but they both came apart at the heel, ONLY 4 WEEKS!.4. I paid $117 for a shoe that lasted less than four weeks and fit as tight as a glove. No bueno!I will not by this brand again.

Great trail runners. Fit well and very supportive. Goretex is great. If you develop a bulge/ soft spongy bubble under both heals this is a defect in the shoe. I'm told it has been fix but unless you get them from Vasque it is hard to tell. The outsole separates from the center of heal/cushion area. The resultant bulge causes the characteristic squeeking on wet or smooth surface floors. Vasque offers a 1 yr warrenty and can/ will remedy the issue during that period. My pair started within the first 2 weeks of wearing. Vasque makes excellant products. I've used a pair of their Sundowner GTX's for 2 decades. Like most manufactures, an occasion issue slips by on production. Hope it helps.

I have owned several pairs of Vasque trail runners and technical climbing boots, all of which have performed extremely well. Without a doubt Vasque had has managed to pull it off again and Velocity VST GTX Trail runners are by far the best pair of trail runners I have owned. living in the damp and wet Pacific Northwest the gortex is a huge plus. These shoes are well cushioned and are suitable for running on paved roads as well as trails. These are a great investment and I am sure they will wear well as have my other pairs. You wont be disappointed.

Not much to high-light. It looks cool, I think. Thin socks help with the fit but don't add to the comfort. The shoes do well on hard uneven trails but they fail on pavment. If you are looking for a shoe that can do both then look elsewhere.

This is an excellent shoe. I have owned this shoe for over a year, and just purchased my second pair. It was designed as a trail running shoe, but I wear it everyday. I live in the Pacific Northwest, so having a completely waterproof shoe is very nice. This shoe truly is waterproof, and my feet have never gotten wet while wearing this shoe. It it a very sturdy and durable shoe, you will feel like you are wearing a very supportive hiking boot.

I ordered these based on an older pair of same brand i had gotten great wear from. new ones were one full size too small...

I would definitely buy again. I use them for anything athletic.. . . . . . . . . .

One of the shoes makes air noise on every step. Have to glue a hole in the sole air cushion.
