Although we couldn't find any professional reviews for the Vasque Wasatch GTX, they receive good coverage from users on Amazon.com, REI.com and Moosejaw.com. Interestingly, the female reviewers are consistently more positive than male reviewers, praising the Wasatch's traction, comfort, support and waterproofing. Most female users also find the Wasatch to be durable. Male reviewers cite the same high points, but are more likely to discuss cracks along the sole or near where the sole meets the upper. The Wasatch is 6 ounces lighter than the Asolo Power Matic 200 GV (*Est. $290) and the same weight as the Zamberlan 760 Steep GT (*Est. $270), yet some users (of both genders) complain that it is too heavy, which may mean it doesn't deliver the performance they expected from a boot of that weight.
Despite the lack of expert reviews for these boots we found nearly 40 user reviews on Moosejaw.com and Amazon.com, and more than 200 on REI.com. Female reviewers routinely rate the Wasatch at least a half-star and in some cases a full star (out of 5) higher than male reviewers on the same site.

3. Amazon.com
One reviewer declares the Wasatch as "yesterday's method of backpacking": too stiff and heavy. More than three quarters of the female reviewers give the boot a perfect rating, but nearly half the male reviewers give only 1 or 2 stars out of 5, with numerous owners complaining about splitting soles and toe caps.
