I have been breaking a new pair out each time the old pair wears out ever since. Unfortunately I've found that the upper and the glue holding on the sole do not age well even in a box kept in ideal conditions. So they have been wearing out at an increasingly fast rate. I'm now down to the current pair and just one more in the box. Sigh... <br /><br />So if anyone reading this thread has found a suitable replacement I too would be among many grateful runners/hikers.

Hopefully the trend will swing back to this style of shoe at some point, until then search the web and stock up!<br />DaveMulti-use Trails Coalitionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260453746633967655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2261402677272782650.post-68821484221133026492011-03-14T03:00:13.834-07:002011-03-14T03:00:13.834-07:00I feel your pain I'm down to my last pair of V...I feel your pain I'm down to my last pair of Vitesse and I don't know what to do? I've been through four pair. It was my Whitney shoe taking me from the portal to the top and back in 11 hrs I've guided for backpacking carrying 80+lbs packs w/ clients gear, no problems ever. Same thing happened to me with 5.10 and the Mountain Master my other Fav but not for the same uses other than using these two shoes to keep my time in my my Montrail boots to a minimum as much as possible, for comfort and weight saving reasons(and whenever possible we may have to run for an injured client while guiding. Now I find out the boots are also no longer made and I love those boots Classic welted construction allowed crampons everything I needed nothing unnecessary. <br />Why does this happen I realize as a company you want to improve but they could have kept the Vitesse. If it's not broken don't fix it and certainly don't take it of the market unless image is playing a factor? Wish you the best, I knew there were other folks going through this but no warning was not cool. Happy trails.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13883841734066728662noreply@blogger.com
