REI has been dropping deep discounts on gear from brands like The North Face, Arc'teryx, and Kuhl, but there are also big sales to be found on essential footwear. The outdoor retailer recently cut the prices on hiking shoes from Merrell, On, and now Vasque, including this rugged pair of waterproof boots that's nearly $100 off.
Vasque’s St. Elias Waterproof Hiking Boots are now on sale for $149, which is 38% off of the retail price of $240. Vasque, which announced a heartbreaking end to its operations this past fall, was renowned for making high-quality hiking and backpacking boots, and though the company is no more, you can still find great deals on pairs like this one. Shoppers call them “gorgeous“ and “well-made,” and sizes 7 to 14 are still left at REI, but once they're gone, they'll be gone for good so get yours ASAP.

Now that Vasque boots are being phased out, it’s a great time to score a killer deal on a pair. This one is made from full-grain leather uppers which are tough but won’t take weeks to break in, and they have an inner Gore-Tex membrane that’s waterproof and breathable. The classic hiking boot design uses rocker toes and positive lock heel pockets for a snug fit alongside a comfortable dual-density EVA foam midsole and a Vibram Megagrip outsole for sure footing on a variety of surfaces.
Happy campers appreciated the durability of the boots, with one saying that they are a "great boot after 20-plus years—would buy again!" They went on to comment that they used them “to backpack up Mt. Washington…been using them for lesser peaks and day hikes since—these have held up well.” Another said that they are “clearly very sturdy and waterproof.”
Shoppers also said the boots also offer “good ankle support” and “warmth.” One customer liked them so much that they suggested a new model, saying “I would love to see this same construction in a shoe form—with the same leather uppers and the same sole.”
Lightweight boots with mesh and fabric uppers are the trend these days, but a pair of full-grain leather boots will always be the gold standard for serious hikers and backpackers. These Vasque boots (which are the last of their kind) are a great buy right now—and most sizes are still in stock. Rugged, waterproof, and high quality, plus with a savings of $100, these are the boots to get if you need durable, long-lasting outdoor footwear. They will go fast though, and will never be available again, so act now.
