So long, old friends
Together, they took me through lush forests and vast deserts. They transported me to glorious High Sierra mountaintops. They carried me through the wild remoteness of the Paria Canyon Wilderness and they guided me up, over, and beyond the boulder jungles of Rockbound Pass in the Desolation Wilderness way back in 2000. They were the most comfortable, rugged, and durable of friends. And I’m going to miss them.
For, with cracked hides, tongues lolling, and soles departing, it is time to bid them fond farewell.
But Life goes on, and I’m now summiting mountains and traipsing forest trails in my 3rd pair of Vasques. Not bad for twenty-plus years of tramping trail. Thank goodness there’s still such a thing as a good pair of 2000-mile boots.

Hello Russ!
Thanks for the kind words and taking time to write them! It’s always great to hear from a satisfied customer! Great blog! You know, the people involved in the process of building the boots, from the idea to the boxed product, do a great job and really do try to build the best outdoor footwear around. I’m glad your pair served you well! California Wine Hikes sounds awesome!
By the way….walk on and thanks for wearing Vasque!
