Just another Footwear Review for you: the Vasque Breeze XCR.

Coming from my old beloved but battered Nike Air Zoom Tallacs, the Breeze immediately seemed like a big upgrade.

Yes, they weigh about nine ounces more, but the construction is incomparably more rugged, the sole offers considerably better traction, and the support is outstanding.

You can get either a waterproof/breathable XCR (Gore-Tex) version or a basic breathable Breeze.

Either shoe is a fine choice if you want a lightweight hiker that will safely handle overnight backpacking loads. I’ve been very happy with mine. For the full scoop, check out the review.
