“Vasque is dedicated to making high-quality, performance footwear to get people out on the trails and enjoying our natural spaces,” says Vasque Marketing Manager, Julie Quinn. “Part of that dedication is giving back to groups, such as Wild South, who work to maintain and protect our wilderness areas.”
