Vasque Breeze LT Low GTX review

Who should buy the Vasque Breeze LT Low GTX 

Vasque designed this shoe to help hikers stay nimble on the trail with as much comfort and protection as possible. The Vasque Breeze LT Low GTX is ideal for those who are:

• looking for a pair of hiking shoes that renders surefootedness on slippery surfaces, thanks to its Vibram Megagrip outsole.
• looking for a lightweight gear that still offers protection against wet elements on the trail.

The grippy Megagrip outsole of the Breeze LT Low GTX

For surface traction, this Vasque Breeze LT Low GTX hiking shoe is equipped with Vibram’s Megagrip outsole. Since it is imbued with the Vibram Lightbase technology, it is about 25% lighter than most outsoles.

Its ability to claw itself into loose terrain is attributable to its many cross-shaped lugs. The horizontal grooves at its forefoot and heel regions provide enhanced security during downhill and uphill traversals.

Vasque’s Enduralast grants the Breeze LT Low GTX stability and cushioning 

A brand-exclusive dual-density midsole called Enduralast is the component primarily responsible for shielding the foot from destructive terrain hazards and giving wearers adequate stability and cushioning. It is made entirely of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA).

Vasque designers opted to pair this protective layer with an anatomic footbed for additional comfort underfoot.  Aside from cushioning, this insert also improves the shoe’s rebound rate and shock absorption.

Breeze LT Low GTX from Vasque is designed with a lightweight yet durable upper

The low-cut upper of the Vasque Breeze LT Low GTX hiking shoe is made with a combination of microfiber mesh and synthetic overlays.

It is engineered with Gore-Tex’s Extended Comfort technology, making its confines both breathable and waterproof.

The synthetic overlay present at its forefoot and heel doubles down on the footwear’s defenses against scratches and scrapes.

Combination eyelets and a round lace constitute the Breeze LT Low’s lockdown system.
