The Vasque Ion is a high-performance approach shoe that's perfectly suited to 5.2 scrambling, use as a light trail hiker, and everyday urban missions. Starting from the bottom up, the Ion features the famous Stealth sticky rubber found in Five Ten's climbing shoes. THE highest friction rubber available, Stealth's unique compounds allow you to grip the trail or rock like no other material, while providing maximum shock absorption on the go. Integrated components throughout the midsole provide incredible support: a nylon shank provides both flex and stiffness, and a tri-density compression molded EVA midsole is softer under the forefoot, stiffest on the outside of the heel to prevent pronation, and supportive under the heel for optimal durability. A high-quality contoured EVA footbed provides a supportive arch and heel cup that frankly blows other stock footbeds out of the water. The Ion's upper combines highly breathable nylon mesh with sturdy Nubuck and Split leather, while lacing that extends to the toe provides a precise climbing-shoe style fit. A medium forefoot fit accommodates foot swelling during exercise, while a tight heel provides maximum performance.

Greatest hiking shoes ever! The stealth soles
provide excellent traction on all surfaces.
Immediate comfort and
performance
Can you say comfort? I took a chance on ordering shoes over the
internet based off the past performance of my Vasque hiking boots....the ion
offers great support, immediate comfort and sharp style. Lots of happy trails
over here. -ll
Vasque Ion/Catalyst
Vasque has hit the mark with
the Women's Ion/ Men's Catalyst. Essentially the same shoe, both of these rugged
companions really do the job! I trail run in the desert each winter in loose
rocky terrain, run on rocks large and small, and charge through thick brush.
These shoes never let me down, and never fall apart. They stick like glue to
steep rock surfaces, and when I'm done adventuring, I slow to a walk and just
keep on going in soft comfort. These really are great shoes. I keep an extra
pair looking nice so I can wear them in public, and still be ready for anything.
I got the Ions for my wife because she tends to slip on rocks, but no more. The
æStealthÆ rubber works! They may not have the perky look of some, but they
completely deliver in every other way.
