Everything you want in a boot - I've wanted this boot since 1993-1994 in high school, and I finally got them. The perfect hiking and recreation boot. The look is classic and not everyone has them as the wheat color Timberland Crazy is still in full force. If you want to stand out in the areas of performance and look this is your boot!

Crazy Durability! I bought this boot in 1995 and the salesperson told me that the average owner gets 10-12 years of wear out of this boot. Of course I thought he was nuts, but I liked the boot so I bought it. My boots just broke down on me (the sole began to separate from the boot) last year. That’s 12 years of seasonal wear. Well worth the price I paid for them back then. This boot is awesome! It's extremely well constructed, a bit stiff at first and takes a while to break in. I'm glad I found this boot on Zappos and plan on buying my second pair! That's crazy durability!

A decent boot - Big fan of Vasque, this shoe has been a bit stiff and hard to break in, and doesn't have the "glove fit" other Vasques have had for me. But nevertheless, I'm happy with it.

If it doesn't fit you must acquit - I used to own a pair of Vasque Sundowner GTX and for years it held-up excellent as I hiked along the Appalachian Trail. I put hundreds of miles on them. Then naturally the sole has just worn out and when I ordered another pair, wow was it awful. It turns out Vasque now makes these boots somewhere else and the fit is not the same as in the old days when Vasque made them in Italy. I really wish they would go back to the Italian version. Buyer beware until they make this boot back in Italy were it belongs. It’s sad to see a company regress.

Classic Sundowner Still on Top - I had a pair of classic Sundowners before they were labeled classic. They are simply the best boots that I have ever had. I switched for a while to Merrill and Asolo, but finally came back. Bought a pair in black because no one had brown in stock. They took a while to break in this time (pressure from the steel lace eyes on the top of my foot), but finally broke in after about 6 days of wear. They are nice and light for an all leather boot and look great. The soles seam a bit chintzier than the pair I had 10 years ago though but also seem a bit comfier.

New design has problems - Bought a new pair on recommendations. Excellent boot (fit, traction, waterproofing, and reputation) but the redesigned top of the shoe cause the shoes to bite into my ankles. If I use for any serious mountain hiking I get bruises around the front of my inner ankle bones. Vasque needs to address this. Am now in the market for a different brand.

These shoes used to be a lot better - I have an older pair of Sundowners that I have had for many years which have worn like iron, are unbelievably comfortable and with care, still look great. The shoes were sufficiently dressy, so I could wear them to work. I ordered a new pair because the heels on the old pair were getting too worn. Unfortunately, the new pair also had a redesigned padded area around the top of the shoe that cause the shoes to bite into my ankles. After over a month these shoes have still not broken in and are still unbelievably painful. In my opinion Vasque should go back to the original design. I would be extremely hesitant to purchase another pair of these shoes, as they are currently designed. My wife's dog just ate one shoe from each pair of these Vasque shoes, so now I have a mismatched set of one old brown shoes and one new black shoe and am without a decent pair of shoes. I have looked everywhere and can't find anything, even on Zappos, that is comparable to the old pair of Vasque shoes.

A great hiking boot - The Sundowner is extremely well made. The leather is thick, the stitching is solid, and the finish is as good as any dress shoe. The sole is stiff, which is an advantage on rocky terrain, but takes some getting used to on flat ground. Wear good socks that are made specifically for waterproof boots, and the Goretex lining should last as long as the boot itself, which is to say a lifetime.

Great with a few minor detractors - I previously had the model up from this, tack on another hundred dollars or so. That was a terrific boot although they both squeak like mad for the life of the shoe, don't try to sneak up on anyone and you'll be fine. Completely waterproof, first boot I've found that can live up to that. The sizing felt a little big, I'm hoping they shrink a little but I can live with it. I wish they made half sizes after 12... Breaking them in was hideous as well, had to take a break after a few days and let my feet heel. In 6 months I'm sure I'll love them to death and they should last 3 or 4 years after that at the least. :) I like'em!

Vasque Sundowner's - Nice shoes, pretty good price. The only complaint I have is that the ankle support isn't what I am used to compared to my old Vasque hiking boots. Otherwise, great value and service.

The sun won't go down on your Sundowner - I bought my sundowners on the recomendation of a friend who had been wearing his for six years and now I am in my sixth year of wear. I have taken really good care of them for those years and have worn them every winter, fall, and parts of spring as well as hikes in the summer. They are the only boot I will ever buy. The soles are very hard so they will last a long time with normal street wear and once they are broken in they feel like slippers.

Excellent service - excellent product. We both have this boot in brown and they are of the highest quality. He needed a black pair for work and they are PERFECT.

Happy Customer - I ordered these boots for my husband. He already has a pair that he wears daily, so he wanted another pair so he could "trade off" on days when he was getting the other pair shined. And do they shine!!!! Military and Police men stop him to ask about his boots. They are just perfect.

End of an era - For those previous owners of the Vasque Sundowner--if you purchase a new pair of "Sundowners" expecting to get the same quality boot that made the Sundowner name famous, then you will be sadly disappointed and possibly angry. The management genuses at Vasque have succeeded in producing a boot that looks like the original (save the padded cuff) but is merely an average boot. Yes, they managed to ripoff their own product! The leather they now use is inferior to the original and whatever materials go inside the upper provide significantly diminished support. I suspect that they recut and padded the cuff merely to reduce the amount of leather used. The laterial stiffness the owners of the previous Sundowner liked so much is gone. The Vasque "Sundowner" is now an average boot that should be priced 30-40% lower--a real "downer." This is a classic example of why old people are always bemoaning the loss of the "Good ole days." I have had my new boots about a month and I can tell by the way they are breaking in that I'll be lucky to get two years out of them. What is the same? Well, the soles seem the same. But the only things that I know for sure are the same are the laces and the Gore-Tex tag. I have purchased my last pair of Vasques.

9.5 wide in burgandy - The very top buckle digs into my ankle--can't really walk in them...thinking about putting a sponge or something on it... I'm keeping it cause it's Goretex and I got it for such a good deal.

The leather they now use is inferior to the original and whatever materials go inside the upper provide significantly diminished support. I suspect that they recut and padded the cuff merely to reduce the amount of leather used. The laterial stiffness the owners of the previous Sundowner liked so much is gone. The Vasque "Sundowner" is now an average boot that should be priced 30-40% lower--a real "downer." This is a classic example of why old people are always bemoaning the loss of the "Good ole days." I have had my new boots about a month and I can tell by the way they are breaking in that I'll be lucky to get two years out of them. What is the same? Well, the soles seem the same. But the only things that I know for sure are the same are the laces and the Gore-Tex tag. I have purchased my last pair of Vasques.

9.5 wide in burgandy - The very top buckle digs into my ankle--can't really walk in them...thinking about putting a sponge or something on it... I'm keeping it cause it's Goretex and I got it for such a good deal.
