Vasque Breeze Waterproof review

The Breeze is a straightforward waterproof hiker at a fair price. Vasque, now sold through the Irish Setter store of Red Wing Brands, builds it with a nubuck leather and recycled mesh upper, VasqueDry waterproofing, an EVA midsole and an EVA footbed on its Tempo+ last. It comes in regular and wide widths and costs $180, $5 more than the Moab 3 Mid. The weakness is documentation: the product page lists no boot weight, no drop and no outsole compound, so it is hard to compare with the Merrell and Altra boots on paper. That keeps its performance score modest even though the materials are sensible for three-season day hiking. If you can try a pair on locally and the fit suits you, it is a solid choice; otherwise the Moab 3 Mid gives you more published detail for slightly less.
