Vasque will take part in the three-day ‘Trail Days celebration in Damascus, Va. for the third year in a row to help through hikers celebrate reaching the half way mark on the Appalachian Trail. Vasque will offer free minor boot repair service, hiking boot giveaways and an opportunity for hikers to record their tales from the trail during the event, which takes place May 17-19.
Vasque specializes in performance footwear for the trail and Trail Days gives us the opportunity to support the hikers and hear stories from those who are putting our footwear to the ultimate test, thru-hiking the 2,200 mile Appalachian Trail, says Chris Miller, national sales director of Vasque.
Thursday and Friday at the Vasque booth, in the manufacturers camp, hikers can enter to win a pair of Breeze 2.0 hiking boots. The new Breeze 2.0 boots are designed with the thru-hiker in mind, with a combination of dual density EVA and a newly designed wishbone molded TPU plate midsole that ensures ample torsional stability and comfort for moments when the trail gets tricky. There is also an improved rubber toe cap for added durability at the front of the boot and a lightweight mesh upper for breathability.
In addition to giveaways, Vasque representatives will be on hand at the booth to make minor repairs to thru-hikers existing boots and they will also be collecting hikers tales from the trail on video to capture the true essence of trail life.
