Strength:

In New England's forests and on its pathways, they are still impermeable and in constant use. At first, it may appear like these boots will mold to your foot, but after a little break-in, they become permanently paired. | cheap pavers perth

Strength:

The quality of the materials, the durability and the look are all top notch. Unfortunately this boot did not fit my feet well - a fact I could not admit until I had put over 150 miles of 'break-in' time into them. See: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf4QyXub5H-S2kavA59jySw

these are what hiking boots should be. I got mine 7yrs ago, and in these 7 years ive done everything in these boots. I hike/back-pack in them, climbed in them (easier routes), do sloppy winter mountain biking with them, use them for work pretty often, mowed alot of grass in em', dig in my garden in them, and drank alot of beer while wearing them. By the looks of these boots i probably have another 7+ yrs left in them. I believe companies stopped making waffle stompers because they are too good. Why make a $200.00 boot that will last for 20yrs, when you can make a200.00 glued together boot that will have to be replaced in 2-3yrs?

I purchased my Legends over two years and a couple hundred miles ago and have absolutely loved them! I broke mine in by doing a 10 mile roundtrip(approx.) overnighter up Lone Peak near Snowbird, UT. Suicidal? Hardly. I was amazed that after two days of walking up 45-60 degree slopes, at times with at 40 lb.(no I wasn't going minimalist on this one:-) pack on I hadn't got a single blister! Granted I was wearing a pair of liner socks under some rag-wool hiker socks, but still, to take an all-leather boot virtually out of the box and put 10 climbing miles on them without a blister is a marvel to me. On a subsequent week-long, 50-miler in Utah's Uintah mountains I finally got one pea-sized blister on my right pinky toe on the fourth day out. On the other hand my companions, one in Montrails and the other with his Vasque Sundowners, were walking moleskin advertisements.

These boots are talus-stompin' monsters. I've traversed 30-40 degree talus slopes with a full pack on and due to their stiff leather uppers, sturdy Vibram sole and 3/4-length ribbed steel shank, I've always been able to tromp my way across while everyone else picked their way across. As a result, the leather is pretty scratched up, but the boot is still in great shape, with at least another 300 miles left on the sole! In contrast, my best friend/hiking partner's Vasque Sundowners(which have made all of the same trips as my Legends) are just about dead. Suede and nylon will never replace cowhide!

On the down side: Lack of a Gore-Tex or equiv. lining makes their waterproofness somewhat questionable if hiking in spring snowpack or along/in canyon stream beds. I've tried Sno-Seal, Vasque's Naturseal and Nik-Wax all with varying results. The boots have a waxed finish when new that kept the Nik-Wax from soaking in. Now that the leather's been fuzzed up a bit it penetrates just fine.

Customer Service

Redwing Shoes, Vasque's owner, will service the shoes for life with complimentary waterproofing, lace and eyelet replacement, and re-stitching as necessary. Great support for a great product!
