Vasque was acquired by a Chinese company decades ago and their quality went to shit. I wouldn’t buy Vasque these days.
Mine were made in Italy, have taken me up Half Dome three times and other hikes in CA, as well as hikes in NM, VT, and now HI. Even a few hikes in the Philippines.
Those Italians knew how to make a boot!
