Discount Vasque Men's Sundowner GTX Hiking Boot

I bought a pair of these boots back in 2001. Since then, I have not only wore these almost every day during each winter, but on many trips to other places , even a couple trips to Australia. These worst things I can think of about these boots are that they take a while to get broken in, but after they are you will most likely not like another pair of shoes ever. They keep your feet warm and dry in the winter, and cool and dry in the summer. One trick I learned from an older retired Air Force Major Colonel was to polish your boots everyday. He had a pair of boots he had worn for over 20 years, and they still looked new. So when I paid over $175 new for my boots back in 2001 from a local shoe store, I polished them daily with quality polish. After 6 months I cut back to once a week, and kept that routine ever since, and the shoes are still in fantastic shape. About once every 6 months I clean the wax off and give them a good rubdown with quality hand lotion. A tip an old timer leather maker once told me; " its skin, and what you use on your skin, is the best thing to use on any skin". It helps to keep the leather from cracking. Sure, it may sound like a lot of work for a pair of boots, but I'm still wearing my original pair, and they still look new, if you ignore the soles. But the sole wear is fantastic. They long outlasted my other boots with Vibram soles, and I love vibram soles. Over all, the only thing I can say negative about these boots is that they cost to much. Then again, if you average it out over the 9 years I have had them, they basically cost me around $30 with polish and lotion, and a little time invested, per year to wear them. Not a bad deal at all. Im looking at buying another pair soon to give my wonder dogs a well deserved rest. But I will still wear them as they are still like new. Get more detail about Vasque Men's Sundowner GTX Hiking Boot.
