Vasque is no stranger to the hiking boot market. They have been making hiking footwear for 60 years at this point, so when they release a new line of footwear, it is probably worth a look. The new St. Elias line appears to be a nice blend of classic oiled leather with modern materials and manufacturing to ensure a comfortable and stylish hike.

Vasque
Vasque founder, W.D. Sweasy traveled to Europe in 1964 and witnessed a hiking craze sweeping the continent – he returned home to Red Wing, Minnesota, determined to create purpose-built trail boots to mobilize Americans outdoors. We’ve been delivering footwear built for the outdoors since 1964, and our commitment to doing so has never been stronger. As we look back on the first sixty years and into the next sixty, we take pride in how Vasque has evolved our footwear alongside the ways we all go outside.
We’ve been making boots and shoes for nearly six decades. Vasque footwear is made for walking, and hiking, and backpacking, and living, outside – on short jaunts and long journeys. Our boots and shoes are built alongside hikers, backpackers, and people who love to be outside – all rooted in making the experience outside more enjoyable. We obsess over the comfort, durability, and performance of our shoes, so you don’t have to.
Vasque St. Elias
The St. Elias is built for the long haul. Inspired by the many Vasque boots that came before it, you can ensure comfort, durability, and traction with each step outdoors.
Promising easy break in from the full-grain leather, to excellent traction thanks to a supported rim and Vibram® Megagrip compound within a Vasque-exclusive multi-directional + lug system, while looking this good, these might be an excellent choice for your next pair of hiking boots. They are available now from Vasque’s Website for an MSRP of $230 and in multiple colors.
