Description of Vasque Sundowner GTX Boot - Men's:

The Vasque Sundowner has gained a reputation as an excellent hiking boot for a variety of conditions. Vasque continues that tradition with the Sundowner GTX. This Gore-Tex lined boot is completely waterproof for the soggy conditions that so many of us hike in and retains all of the quality and comfort of an old school full leather boot. Do you wish the good old leather mid-weight boots would come back? Well, they never actually left.

Bottom Line: Time tested design meets new technology.

GO BACK TO ITALY!!!!! 09-16-08

The Italians were wonderful. If I would have know they were going to start making them in China I would have bought as many pairs as I could have in the 1990's. If Redwing reads this think about having a high end sundowner made in Italy. You had a cult following and you sold out to the all mighty dollar. Shameful.

Miss the good old days... 12-31-08

I'm severely disappointed that Vasque chose long ago to move production of this boot from Italy to China. I owned a pair of the Italian-made sundowners and they were great. In the day of the sundowner and the skywalk, Vasque was THE boot to have. Sundowners are a legendary name on the trail and I think anyone purchasing a pair now will feel disappointed, to say the least. You can tell the difference between the old and new by simply looking at them. I give them two stars only for the memories I have of the better days. I now own a pair of Sundowner MX2's (made in Italy) and I am once again in love!

3 words: Made in China 08-19-08

I have owned four pairs of these in my life. The earliest two were made in Italy. The last two--China. There is a noticeable difference between the two that were made in Italy, and the two that were made in China. The ones made in Italy, I will re-sole and wear as long as I possibly can. The two from China will sit on my shoe-shelf and gather dust. What does this mean? Well, I will probably never buy another pair of Sundowners--too bad since they were my all-time favorite boot. I'll stick with the brands that care more for quality, than cheaper mass-reproduction.
