Vasque, a family owned and run business, has been a leader in the performance based outdoor footwear world for more than a half century. It all started when a native New Yorker, William Sweasy, took a trip to Europe and experienced the love of mountaineering and tradition of exploring nature that had developed over the course of the mid 1900s. Inspired by this enthusiasm and also the handmade mountain boots he had seen, Sweasy decided to make it his mission to enhance America's outdoor lifestyle landscape, and the Vasque brand was born. Today, Vasque continues to build some of the highest quality and sharpest looking hiking boots, backpacking boots, men's trail running shoes, and women's trail running shoes on the market. Vasque knows that footwear is just as technical as any other gear and it has to be trusted to perform as such. "Honest, original, and true" is what they hold themselves to and is why CampSaver.com is so proud to carry one of the best Vasque inventories around and at the lowest prices with free shipping on orders over $49!
