Vasque St Elias (RRP £200)
A hiking classic, updated for 2024, the Vasque St Elias is a technical hiking boot, perfectly built for long distance hikers and backpackers. St Elias boots deliver comfort from the moment you put them on thanks to a full grain leather upper which means easier break-in, allowing you to head for the hills as soon as your gear is packed. The midsole, made from EVA and 20% recycled sugarcane, and the Vibram® Megagrip outsole system, together provide athletic flexibility and foot comfort for short and long trips. A Vasque-exclusive multi-directional lug system ensures optimal grip and traction, and the GORE-TEX® waterproof membrane means the St Elias will stand up to varying conditions, ensuring peace of mind wherever your boots might take you. The St Elias is available in Clay full-grain leather (Men's and Women's), and Desert Taupe (Men's and Women's or Black (Men's) Nubuck leather, new for 2024. A full range of sizes are available, from 7 to 14 (men's, medium or wide fitting), and 6 to 12 (women's, medium fitting).
Vasque Skywalk GTX (RRP £140.00)
The Skywalk GTX is Vasque's legendary leather hiker, which stands tall as an enduring icon of the outdoors. Since its debut in the 1980's, the Skywalk has been renowned for its rugged construction that you can count on year after year, blending classic leather with a contemporary Gore-Tex membrane to keep feet dry and comfortable, no matter the weather. The Skywalk features a 2.4mm Waterproof Rough-Out Leather upper coupled with an abrasion-resistant upper mesh, moulded PU footbed and midsole, and a super comfortable Sundowner Classic last. The Skywalk is available in Olive (men's, pictured) or Sage (women's) colours, in sizes 7 to 14 (men's) and 6 to 11 (women's), and in regular or wide fittings.
Vasque Sundowner GTX (RRP £200.00)
The Sundowner GTX is Vasque's iconic waterproof, leather hiking boot, with a 35- year pedigree to prove it. Much loved for its timeless style and durability, the Sundowner is in a class of its own. First launched in 1984 and updated in 2015, a core strength of the Sundowner is its simplicity - the classic silhouette and time-tested performance provide everything a hiking boot should be, nothing less. The Sundowner features a 2.4mm full-grain waterproof leather upper, and like the Skywalk it is built on a moulded PU footbed and midsole, with that same super comfortable Sundowner Classic last and a Gore-Tex membrane for comfort. The Sundowner is available in Red Oak (men's and women's) or Black (men's) colours, in sizes 6 to 11 (women's) and 7 to 14 (men's), and in regular or wide fitting.
Vasque's Re:Connectrange is borne out of Vasque's desire to help bring the benefits of outdoor activity to the familiar places around you, with a range of shoes that remind you to get outside and reconnect with the great outdoors.
The Vasque Now GTX (RRP £140.00) truly is a shoe that reminds you to go outside, designed for comfort and stability - with a wider heel and forefoot design for optimal midfoot support. The new GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology keeps feet dry, whether through pavement puddles or along muddy paths. The Now GTX is made with lightweight, breathable ripstop outer mesh and plush foams for that ultimate cushioned feel, internal half-bootie construction and extended heel fit collar system, which will change your perspective on how a shoe should fit; the Now GTX is built on an anatomical last, which wraps around the foot to provide a fit that allows you to move. Materials are largely recycled, with 100% recycle mesh upper and internal sleeve and a 92% recycled internal heel pod, as well as a 20% sugarcane midsole and an EVA footbed made with 20% Bloom Algae. The Now GTX is available in Adriatic Blue (pictured) or Canyon Brown colours, and in men's size 7-14 or women's size 6 to 11.
