Vasque Kota XCR Cross-Training Shoes

My Vasque Kota XCR Cross-Training Shoes are my go-to hiking shoes for fitness hikes, winter walking, and any of my weekend ramblings that take me off a paved path! On weeknights when I’m not sharing my hiking tips with the world on HikingLady.com, I round up some friends and go hiking around the local hills. I lace up my Vasque Kota hiking shoes, put on a headlamp and my hydration waistbelt, and off I go!

When I bought these shoes, I had never owned a pair of Vasque hiking boots or shoes before. I had heard that Vasque manufactures top quality footwear, but what attracted me to try them on was that Vasque shoes typically run narrow. Since I have a narrow heel, I wanted to give them a try.

This model provides a sturdy rubber toe, which is helpful for preventing stubbed toes on my night hikes, a very good lugsole, and most importantly, a great fit. There are lots of other features, such as Gore-Tex lining, a well padded tongue, and quick drying material, all of which can be expected from Vasque.

Overall, the Vasque Kotas are a good, all-around hiking shoe that continue to serve me well on a multitude of adventures! From short walks on rainy, fall days to full day hikes in the mountains, trail runs, and more, my pair has exceeded expectations. They’ve even posed for the camera when I responded to Pat’s question about hiking boots for narrow feet !
