The Vasque Torre AT GTX Hiking boot gives you great grip from Vibram combined with Goretex breathability and waterproofness. With a lightweight overall construction they feel like trail running shoes but with the added security of ankle support. With a smart green suede upper and the option of normal or wide fit you get a high level of bang for buck and a boot that looks as good with jeans in the city as it does out on the trails.
In Depth Review
I have a problem with these boots that I think most will understand. I needed a new pair of outdoor hiking boots for when I go for walks with my baby son and wife and also a waterproof pair to use when I’m in the garden and working on my woodland. The problem I had when testing these boots was they were too nice. They looked too smart with jeans and I wore them so much during the day I didn’t actually want to use them on trails and in the garden.
Grip
The Torre boot comes with a Vibram® Wavelength II Sole with LiteBase Technology, Megagrip Compound and Traction Lug Technology. What this means in regular English is you get a grip that’s good on wet and dry conditions and has lugs that don’t tend to get too clogged with mud.
Uppers
The uppers have a mesh a suede finish. I chose the olive green version but they also come in a light grey version. Beneath the suede is a goretex lining which kept my feet dry even when standing in water. What was a surprise was that wearing them all day didn’t leave my feet feeling clammy like they can in some other waterproof footwear I have.
Fit
Its rare to see companies offering wide fit options so I was pleased to see Vasque do. I found they are true to size even if you wear thick winter socks. If you have wider fit and often order a half size up opt for the wide option instead and stay true to size.
Verdict
The Vasque Torre AT GTX Hiking boot gives you great grip from Vibram combined with Goretex breathability and waterproofness. With a lightweight overall construction they feel like trail running shoes but with the added security of ankle support. With a smart green suede upper and the option of normal or wide fit you get a high level of bang for buck and a boot that looks as good with jeans in the city as it does out on the trails.
