The Clarion 88 GTX is the rebirth of a Vasque legend. The iconic hiking boot reemerges as an updated classic for modern adventure. Count on a lightweight, flexible ride with all-day, waterproof comfort both on trail and around town. Often imitated, never duplicated. The Clarion was the definition of technology, versatility, and style back in 1988 and these qualities are still true today. This iconic boot has hiked all over the world, and while it went away for twenty years, its back and better than ever. Color options for the Clarion have been brought back authentically, matching the pantones with the iconic tones that defined an era of outdoor discovery. The Clarion 88 GTX comes complete with the grip that keeps you on your feet in the Vibram Winkler outsole and a die-cut EVA midsole that screams 80s style. Exclusively available on Vasque.com. We keep these close because the Clarion is an integral part of our brands history. Voted the best boot worn with jeans, the Clarion looks equally iconic and legit with a pair of denim or chinos in town as it does coupled with technical apparel out on the trail. Throwback, retro styling meets modern comfort with a suede and fabric upper stich for stich consistent with the original combined and with the original over-sized GORE-TEX tag, which weve collaborated with our long-standing partners with on bringing back to ensure it is what it was one of the best hiking boots to ever walk outside. Quite simply, the Clarion 88 GTX is a result of listening. Emails, letters, social posts, and many other avenues yielded a deep yearning for Vasque to bring back some of our boots that defined what it meant to go outside. We will continue to listen as we look to forge into the future, by honoring the past.
