<description>Vasque Breeze Hiking Boot - Boys&#x27;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I need to get a pair of above the ankle, lace up, lug sole hiking boots for my daughter for a intro to caving tour....do these have a lug sole?  I&#x26;#39;m not really sure what a lug sole is and I am having a hard time finding a high quality hiking boot in such a small size.  She wears a children&#x26;#39;s size 3 or a woman&#x26;#39;s size 5.</description>

<title>Does this boot work well with strap-on crampons? I am going to</title>
<link>http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Vasque-Zephyr-II-Hiking-Boot-Mens/VSQ0094M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_129451#question_129451</link>
<description>Vasque Zephyr II Hiking Boot - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Does this boot work well with strap-on crampons? I am going to Mexico to hike/climb up the Izta and Orizaba Volcanoes and will need cramp-ons on the last part of the routes on summit day. (only on Orizaba is there any long stretch of steep ice/snow with extensive runout) I want to carry only one pair of boots for everything. (including shorter acclimation hikes at lower elevations without any snow or ice). I already have the boots and they have proven to be completely waterproof even when submerged a few inches. I want to be sure crampons are ok with this boot, I have zero experience with crampons.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;thx</description>

<title>Hi:  I need to get a pair of waterproof hiking boots for my 11</title>
<link>http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Vasque-Breeze-Hiking-Boot-Boys/VSQ0086M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_127461#question_127461</link>
<description>Vasque Breeze Hiking Boot - Boys&#x27;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Hi:  I need to get a pair of waterproof hiking boots for my 11 year old son.  I have tried several different ones and he complains of them hurting after wearing them no longer than 2 hours.  He has very tender feet with lots of scar tissue and does not have the flexible range of motion that most of us enjoy.  He was born severely club footed bilaterally and had his feet surgically repaired when he was 8 months old.  He started wearing casts at 2 weeks and after surgery he wore casts then braces for the next 2 years of his life.  If anyone knows of a soft, well padded waterproof pair of hiking boots that we could try we would be open to all suggestions.  He basically needs great boots that feel well broken in from the first moment he puts them on or he will have pain and develope blisters because his feet are still slightly malformed.  Thanks for any suggestions.</description>

<title>I don&#x26;#39;t trail run, although I may start, I mostly run outside</title>
<link>http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Vasque-Velocity-VST-Trail-Running-Shoe-Mens/VSQ0088M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_127014#question_127014</link>
<description>Vasque Velocity VST Trail Running Shoe - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I don&#x26;#39;t trail run, although I may start, I mostly run outside on the road. I was wondering if anyone uses these for road running? If not why couldn&#x26;#39;t you use a trail runner for road running? For some reason I seem to always be drawn to trail running shoes. I think it&#x26;#39;s mainly because I&#x26;#39;m not too fond of the flashy type shoes that are indicative of road shoes, I love my Asics, but they, as are all road shoes are too busy and flashy for my taste. Also, my weight is 195, are these suitable for heavier runners? I tried on a pair and they felt great but they also felt like they may be a little soft, but then again I didn&#x26;#39;t run in them.</description>
