Vasque Hiking Boots

Vasque hiking boots are amongst the world’s most stylish and sought after hiking boots.

Featured in some of the best known outdoors publications such as Backpacker, Outside Magazine and Essential Day Hiker, Vasque hiking boots have been especially praised for their breathability in warm weather and comfort.

These very stylish modern hiking boots, many with Airmesh and leather uppers, require little breaking in, provide excellent support and protection for the feet and will keep hikers sure-footed on even the most slippery of surfaces.

There is of course a price to pay for this extremely lightweight and very comfortable footwear and that is seen in the fact that many Vasque hiking boots do not stand up too well in the wet.

For fine weather hiking and backpacking though, Vasque hiking boots come highly recommended.

Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster
by Jon Krakauer
Amazon Price: $10.20
Customer Review: Krakauer's account of this tragic episode is very personal and compelling. I found the book hard to put down and was gripped by the human element that slowly and inescapably evolved into disaster. It's a book that you will think of long afterward and wonder about the "what-ifs." It's on my top ten list - I give it 5 stars.

by Streetwise Maps
Amazon Price: $1.95
Customer Review: Best guide for the Tube, though my only complaint is the Bank and Tower Hill stop... It looks like it's connected, but it's a 15 minute walk away.

My friend wants one in every city! Hopefully, there is one!
