About the Vasque Men's St. Elias Waterproof Hiking Boots

The Vasque St. Elias is a leather backpacking boot with a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane and a Vibram Megagrip outsole. It sits in the mid-weight class at 2 lb. 14 oz. per pair, with a 1.8–2 mm leather upper and an over-the-ankle cut for support on rough trails. It is a solid choice for hikers who want a traditional leather boot rather than a synthetic or trail-runner style.

    Questions and answers

    Are the Vasque St. Elias boots truly waterproof?
    Yes. They use a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane under a 1.8–2 mm leather upper, so they shed rain and shallow water. Water can still enter over the ankle collar in deep crossings.
    How much do they weigh?
    2 lb. 14 oz. per pair. That is mid-weight for a leather waterproof backpacking boot.
    Do they run true to size?
    Feedback is mixed. Some owners say the fit is true to size; others report pressure points, so try them on with your hiking socks before committing.
    How long is the break-in period?
    Expect a few short hikes before they feel broken in. The full leather upper is stiff at first and softens with use.
    What kind of hiking are they built for?
    Backpacking and three-season trail hiking with moderate loads. The over-the-ankle cut and stiff leather give support, but they are heavier than trail shoes for fast day hikes.
    What is in the box?
    One pair of boots. Insoles and laces come installed; no extras are included.
