In the late '80s, I wore a pair of flip flops and Vasque Sundowner Boots on a one-year sojourn around the globe, that included treks in the Himalayas, a climb of Kilmanjaro, slogs through Rwandan rain forests, and countless trudges between train station and dive hotels. These boots are not heavy-duty backpackers, and they aren't crampon compatible. But they are sturdy enough for lugging a 25kg pack for a week or so. But the cool thing about this boots is how comfortable they are on a long bus ride. Eventually I wore my first pair out. So I bought a new pair for a recent trip to Washington DC in December, because I didn't have a decent pair of walking shoes that would stand up to miles of museum hallways and still look good enough (get the maroon ones) for an evening out. My new pair didn't disappoint. Perfectly comfortable, right out of the box. For light backpacking, or cold urban streets, Vasque Sundowners are as good as it gets.
