    I'd want something with more ankle protection for serious hiking but for tooling around off pavement they look good.

    Vasque have been around for years.

    http://www.vasque.com/

    In 1965 Vasque founder William D. Sweasy traveled to Europe and found our future. Outdoor recreation and mountaineering were sweeping the continent, and Sweasy knew it was a matter of time until the craze found its way stateside. He began preparing his high quality mountaineering and hiking boots so he'd be ready when the time came. After a brief run under the brand name “Voyageur,” Sweasy changed the name to Vasque in 1971 (for Fort Vasquez in the mountain mecca of Colorado). And no, the rest is not history. The Vasque trail continues today, breaking new ground toward what's next. That's what happens when you keep your eyes firmly focused on the trail ahead.

    1965 VOYAGEUR
    The very first step on the Vasque trail takes its name and spirit from the wood-bound rebels who roamed the Northern Minnesota wilderness in search of furs in the 17th century. Those original voyageurs found independence on their own terms and on their own two feet.

    1971 ASCENDER
    Little known climber and rag company owner Yvon Chounard designs the Ascender and Ascender II boots for Vasque. Both are called “Shoenards” by a quickly growing legion of fans.

    1972 DIRECTICEMA
    Vasque introduces the Directicema boot. It is immediately embraced by climbing superstars like Henry “Hot Henry” Barber as they attempt climbs such as the east ridge of Mt. Johnson in Ruth Gorge, Alaska Range (unclimbed to this day).

    1982 MONTANA
    Climbing, hiking, and backpacking experience skyrocketing popularity as millions join a recreational mass exodus from urban centers. As the world's most remote outposts become its most sought-after playgrounds, Vasque intensifies its focus on delivering the best technical footwear (like the Montana) to reach these spots.

    1984 SUNDOWNER
    25 years ago the Sundowner redefined the backpacking boot, and remains the…
