The soles on my low mileage Vasque Wasatch boots failed completely this weekend. In talking with another guy a trailhead this weekend, he mentioned that he had the same boots and they failed in the same place. A quick query of the REI website regarding that particular boot was a rantfest with reviewer after reviewer describing the exact same FAIL. Many of those posts included photos of the split or detached soles. I'm surprised that REI would continue selling such a crappy product, especially since they offer full refund on their boots (ordered a pair of Lowas with my refund).
