JuneI read electric meters and I was able to wear these boots right out of the box. I did order it in a 1/2 size larger and I was glad that I did. I do have a few foot problems and one of my feet was a little sore after the first day, but this is no fault of the shoe that I can tell.

Comfortable hiking-Fits my narrow feet so much better than most hiking shoes. I just wore these hiking in Maui. They even held up to one day of over 9 miles of hiking on jagged rocks.

PattiGreat hiking boots - Vasque are always excellent boots, but the Ion Mid GTX-XCR are by far my favorite pair. They are so comfortable and keep your feet dry all day.

Great hiking shoe - I brought these down to Torres del Paine in Chile and they did not disappoint. I did not break them in prior to my trip and had absolutely no problems. I hiked 50 miles in 4 days without a single blister or irritation. They proved to be the best boots I have ever bought on the last day when I hiked 6 hours in pouring rain and snow. My feet were absolutely dry and warm the entire time. I would absolutely recommend these. One note, they are more of a mid size shoe, so there is not a lot of ankle support. If you are prone to twisting, I would suggest a higher length.

Patrice HVasque Ion Mid GTX-XCR - I first ordered a 7 1/2, my normal size, and found it too short so ordered an 8 which was perfect. The left shoe was immediately comfortable and required no breaking in. The right shoe rubbed on the ankle and I have been wearing moleskin plus around the area. It is better but not completely able to do without the moleskin. But expect to soon.
