Product Description
This mid-weight backpacker has a reputation for comfort and old-school style, which may explain why it's as common at the grocery store as on the trail. It's also equally at home under the weight of a pack or on a casual day hike.

Review #1
It is a shame
I take no pleasure in this review. I just received (March 2007) my 3rd pair of Vasque Sundowners. I'd used up my GTX Sundowners (4th pair of Vasque boots) that I've had for about 3 years. This is the first pair that squeaks. I like good shoes, and I like taking care of them. I had always been proud to wear Vasque, but the quality of these is just not that great. The leather is thinner, and is dimpling, so they even look cheaper. It's a shame, I wish Red Wing (another brand I`ve enjoyed in the past) had not acquired Vasque. It is the end of a great tradition.

Return to Vasque
I had a pair of Sundowners about eight years ago, and wore then every day for the next four-and-a-half years. After wearing through several insoles and a number of laces, the stitching on the heel finally started to give out. For the next several years, I tried boots from a number of other manufacturers, but none have lasted more than a single year, and none were quite as comfortable for extended wear.
I switched back to the Sundowner Classic this fall. While production of these boots has moved from Italy to China since my last pair, the build quality seems equivalent. The only minor difference is that the leather seems to scuff/scratch a bit easier; hopefully this will not impact their long-term performance. Highly recommended. Review #3
Great boot
I've had my sundowners for 2 years, after a week they were broken in and have felt better than any tennis shoe i've ever worn. They are simply put, the best shoe/boot you can get. Review #4
Best boot I ever bought
I have had this boot for 5-6 years wearing them almost everyday for the past 3 and I still have them and wear them daily without replacing anything not even a foot bed insert. What a great boot they need to be worked in a little and at first I didnt like them that much but after I worked them in Wow. I am getting ready to buy a new boot and I believe that I will buy a new pair of these ones. I used them for everything from conservation work, backpacking, work, and hunting.
