This was going to be my third generation of Vasque Sundowners. The first 2 brought me over the Himalayas twice, across the Beartooth and through the jungles of Laos.What was sent this time resembled my previous boots in name only. I could tell the moment I opened the box that Vasque has given up completely on making quality boots. They were the worst shoes of any kind I have ever had the displeasure of putting on my feet. The leather was of completely inferior quality. The fit was horrible with space where there should be none, and tight everywhere else. I am only grateful to the excellent return policy of Amazon...

This shoe meets all my expectations. Quality seems good and fit is as expected. Broke in quickly and they look good. I have done some moderate hikes and I wear them to work most days where I frequently go out to the field. I would highly recommend this shoe.

I got these about a week before I took a major trip. I wore them everywhere for that week to break them in. I was hoping that would be enough. While on my trip (backpacking in E. Europe), I got terrible blisters on the tops of my big toes (where the top of the boots pinched them). Also, as others have reported the tops of the boots hit just wrong on my ankles. This is my second pair of Sundowners. They don't match the quality or fit of my first pair. After 2 painful weeks in Europe, I had to stop in a store and buy a pair of Nike's, just to I could walk.
