I bought these Vasque St. Elias Full Grained Leather, Gore-Tex lined boots in November and was not very kind to them. I didn’t trust the stitched seems, so I applied some AquaSeal Shoe Repair to protect it. Worked like a charm. The vibram soles were pretty soft and, as expected for a hiking boot subjected to pavement/concrete, wore down real fast on daily wear. The Lowa Renegades were superior to them in this regard. Oh well, these were regularity $250 CAD (I got them 25% off), and saved my $400 boots from concrete/asphalt rucks. Thanks for the memories, #vasque
