Description of Vasque Velocity 2 Hiking Shoe - Boys':
Just like the adult model, the Vasque Boys' Velocity 2 Trail Shoe features a combination of synthetic nubuck leather and Airmesh nylon for durability and breathability. Whether your kid just started hiking or wants to take on his first multi-day backpacking trip, this Vasque shoe provides the comfort and support he needs on the trail. The Velocity 2 Trail Shoe's Blurr outsole provides plenty of traction when your grom hits the trail on a muddy day.
Bottom Line: Introduce your kid to the outdoors with quality shoes.
I bought my 11 year old son his first pair of these shoes in a retail store last year. He loved them, out grew them, and wore them out, all at the same time. When he asked for another pair before school started this year, it was the first time he’d ever said “Can I get these exact same shoes again?”.
One note though.....When they arrived, the shoe lace clasps on both shoes would not hold the laces, so I started the annoying process of a mail order return. To my pleasant surprise though, in one 10 minute phone call to Backcountry.com I got an offer to replace the shoes with no shipping charge and a pre-paid return shipping label by e-mail. Less than two hours after that I got a confirmation e-mail telling me that the replacement shoes had shipped. That’s great customer service. Well done Backcountry.com! I will be back.
