Most Helpful Positive Review Saint Elias
Light boot, comfortable - I bought the wide version and it's the first boot I've owned that actually gives me as much room across the toes as I need. That won't be relevant to most, but could be useful to those with wide feet and are struggling for options.
Most Helpful Negative Review Bad fit

Vasque St Elias GTX Hiking Boots

by Mark, from IL, United States Written on April 2, 2021
This is my 3rd pair of these boots. The first lasted 30 years. Many miles of backpacking in the Rockies, Glacier, Canadian Rockies, & Denali. The 2nd pair did not fit because Vasque is now having them built overseas and the fit is different. Once I figured out the new sizing I bought this pair which fit great. I had to increase a 1/2 size in Length AND Width to get a proper fit.

So happy with these!

by Nu Moon, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on January 6, 2021
Finding amazing shoes is not that easy for me. These have it all. Really well built, nice laces, perfect height for excellent ankle support but not too tall, gore-tex, squared off rear sole for less ankle rolling potential and great looking. Top shelf materials! I bought a size 9 and they fit great. So stoked on these Vasques!

A quality wide boot

by Pete, from FL, United States Written on December 4, 2020
I wanted a quality backcountry hiking boot. No other quality boots had a wide version in larger sizes. This boot does, and Campsaver was the only store who had the size. They fit great. Very sturdy, but felt comfortable as soon as I put them on. They will need significant mileage to break them in correctly. I’ve been wearing them around town for 2 weeks and they are just now showing signs of being broken in
Pros:
  • Fit and comfort
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

A Great Boot

by Mike, from AR, United States Written on December 6, 2019
This boot is comfortable right out of the box. For me it fit true to size - my 13 Regular tennis shoes and the 13 Regular Vasque both are comfortable. I did get a hot spot on my left inside ankle but it was quickly taken care of by adjusting the lacing. So far this seems like an excellent purchase!

too narrow

by Marvie, from VT, United States Written on June 16, 2019
Very good quality boot. I'd rate it a 5 star if it was wider. I bought a 9 & 1/2 W, the same size as my last Vasque boot but this one has a narrower cut and doesn't fit. It's definitely a narrower cut when placed side to side with my old Vasque boot.
Pros:
  • Great Quailty
Cons:
  • narrow for a wide
Would recommend: Yes

Boots are great

by Johnc, from CA, United States Written on June 21, 2018
The boots are great. I’ve only worn them locally so far but the fit is true to size. They seem to help with walking mechanics and pronation Right out of the box they were stiff. I like that in a boot because if they’re comfortable immediately they break down fast

Out of the box..comfort. But fwd lace rivet came apart at 18mo of casual occasional walking?

by TomR, Verified Owner from TN, United States Written on April 27, 2018
First use this spring18, forward lace rivet came apart. Vasque.com said to sent to a cobbler in seatle, only 1 year on hardware.
Lightweight but good support in a Wide size. Others mention Nikwax, I like that too but maybe soften the hole area too much?
Pros:
  • Comfort/Size
Cons:
  • durability
Best Used for:
  • ???

Not fully Leather!! Vinyl in upper and tong

by Samuel, from NSW, Australia Written on November 24, 2017
I have to say that I have had these coots for over a year now and never had a problem. Relatively low win weight, breath well for a leather boot and are very comfortable. Many trips throughout NZ, US, and Australia to back this. However, i thought it may be time to treat these great boots with some NikWax conditioner. Bad Move. The parts that are Vinyl melted away before my eyes, completely dissolved. I am not blaming either company for this other than i would have like some warning that the vinyl was so low quality that it could not stand up to a normal Nikwax treatment.

In the end, good boot BUT do not treat them with any type of leather conditioner or they will fall apart.
Pros:
  • Lightweight
  • Comfortable
Cons:
  • Not all Leather
  • Beware when using conditioner
  • May melt before your eyes
Would recommend: Yes
