DisQuoi Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 I bought my Vasque hiking boots because I judge them to be the best I can afford. They have an excellent history of quality and durability. But I'd bet that someone on the payroll at Redwing has a design degree and his job is to make them look pretty (men's and women's styles). Show me any brand of boot or show where fashion wasn't considered in the design and I'll show you a boot or shoe that doesn't sell very well. You may pay more for a pair of Nike than you should but you're buying a name. When you buy a name, you're getting more than a vinyl swoosh glued to your shoe ... Nike will go to great lengths to satify you ... replacing shoes that don't meet your expectations, etc. Case in point, I once owned a pair of Nike hiking shoes. I loved them! They were freakishly comfortable. After several years, the sole started to come off. I was able to het them replaced for free. You might not get this kind of service with "non-fashionable" shoes.

+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 I prefer Mitey Mite wear these on the trail But she insists on wearing her Vasques. She has had them for years. Good boots are important of course. It appears you've made the right choice Courtney. Never Squat With Yer Spurs On Quote Link to comment
