Very solid boot for the mountains of NH | |
| Rating: |  |
| My reason for purchasing this boot was expected durability. The boots they replaced lasted a little over three months. One other pair of boots with a combination of leather and synthetic materials lasted only ~three months. I had another similar pair of all-leather boots from a different manufacturer that lasted three seasons. My conclusion; an all-leather boot of this design was best suited to my style of hiking. After discussing this with Stan the Footwear Guru at the Concord, NH EMS store, he reached the same conclusion. I have used these boots for a little over one month. In that time I completed eight day hikes, covering 136 miles and an elevation gain of 47,666 feet. The boots are very solid and have a long break-in period. Consequently, they aren't yet comfortable but they're getting really close. Another two or three good hikes should do it. I think part of it is boot break-in and the other part is my feet making a few adjustments. Stan (The Boot Man) at EMS-Concord, NH recommended I condition the boots with Nikwax Waterproof Wax For Leather before the first hike and pay extra attention to the seams. I followed his recommendation and have subsequently applied additional conditioning. This approach probably helped the break-in process a lot. Overall, these boots are great! The support is terrific and the stiff sole/midsole/full shank combination completely isolates sharp edges and corners of rocks from my tender feet. The pully lacing system works well but be careful; it's very easy to over-tighten the boots. I like the toe rand and heel protection. These boots are definitely waterproof. On the negative side… The soles are showing an amount of wear that concerns me. The "shock absorption cylinders" in the outsole are breaking down and are not very durable at all (Asolo marketing gimmick?). The Gore-Tex emblem on the side of one boot has broken – unfortunately these should be recessed as is the case with the Asolo emblem. The factory insoles are inferior to some of the aftermarket products and I made the change; again at the recommendation of Stan from EMS. | |

| State of the art - These boots are awesome. The craftsmanship is exceptional. The comfort and support is great. The rubber toe guard is key for protecting the leather. The lacing system is superb it allows the boot to snug up perfectly. The lace hook in the middle of the tongue allows you to get your heel all the way back, as well as create great ankle support. They are pricey but worth every penny. The Power Matic system and the structure of the shoe feel like it propels you forward. I've never experienced any boot like it before. I had a pair of Vasques for 8 years and these boots are built way better so I expect to get a lot of miles out of them. Asolo has mastered the art of boot making. | |

"Great" | |

| First, Moosejaw handled the order quickly and efficiently--good people to deal with. I read about these boots in Backpacker magazine and bought them because I like a boot with a very firm sole. The usual trail I hike is very rocky & climbs 4158' in 5 miles. Backpacker was right in saying the boot needed some break-in time--I got my first blisters 2 in 20 years--but I really liked the boot none the less. Great ankle support, an extremely firm sole. My all time favorite boot was Merrell's Grand Traverse, and these seem their equal. I only hike about 500 miles a year now since a broken leg, broken arm, and triple by-pass in 2004, but I'll give them a run for the money. | |

| Great Boot - My previous pair of boots was a Garmont, which I liked a lot; however I had difficulty finding a similar model lately and went for the Asolo. This is a very sturdy and comfortable boot and I highly recommend it. I am still breaking it but so far after several hours of hiking in different terrains, no blisters, or discomfort. Once again it is a great pair of boots. The only bad things I can say are that the laces seem a little weak and that there was some glue spots from the manufacturing process on several locations on the boots... in both cases this obviously is not a big deal. | |

| Large, heavy, very stiff boot. I loved the boot but it is substantial. I had to send it back because the right ankle cuff hurt my ankle badly. It\\\'s from the difference in my ankles than a defect in the boot because I tried two pair and had the same problem. I loved the style too. I wish they would make this style in a lighter model like the fugitive model. Zappos is a little pricier than every other website. That\\\'s how they make up all that \\\'free\\\' shipping. But very good service as usual. I emailed Asolo and they didn\'t even know what Zappos was. | |

| Wonderful Boot, Typical Asolo width... The second Asolo releases this boot in a wide size I will purchase a pair. No sooner, No later. If Salomon's or Timberlands typically fit you, I would bet this boot would fit fine. For those of us who need a bit more room (Thank you Keen) these just fall short. They're also quite a bit taller than other runs of Asolo hikers. Definitely a large but very sturdy boot. | |

| I wear them everyday in and around Construction Sites in place of a pair of 520's. They are very rugged, and also the stiffest hiking boots I have laced up in years. I think the long break in will payoff with added longevity. I really like the additional toe guard. | |

| Very solid boot. Hopefully I will have these for many years to come. They are def stiff but I like that personally. Not uncomfortable more orthopedic feeling I think. Will keep your ankle vertical and stepping motion efficient. I would recommend this boot. | |

| Look great, but complete nightmare to walk in - Broke these in over two months to prep for hike on the Inca trail and Apu Ausangate in Peru. During the break in, they weren’t horribly comfortable, but I expected that - at least no blisters, etc... First day of my hike I ended up with a bruised hot spot on my right shin and a full thickness 6" blister on my left heel. Tried replacing in a number of patterns, shin pads, blister pad, nothing worked. Ended up wearing my Vibram FiveFingers for the rest of the hike without any trouble. What a waste of money. It drives me nuts to buy hiking boots like these without having any inkling as to whether this kind of thing is going to be a problem until you’re actually on the hike. | |
