      Comments about Asolo TPS 520 GV Hiking Boots - Women's:

      I would like to give these boots 5 stars. Even 6. Except...I have a narrow heel and have never found a combination of insoles, socks, etc. to keep from getting blisters. Knowing this, I tape known hot spots before I've even left the departure point, but it still catches up with me after about Day 4 on the trail. However, if your foot fits this boot, I can't imagine being displeased with it. Mine have been steady companions in some unsteady trekking situations. If Asolo comes up with a "narrower heel" version, I'll be first in line to get a pair.

      Really I loved these boots when I tried them on. After hiking several times, the boots became more and more uncomfortable. I tried changing out the insoles, and nothing worked. So I am sending them back. Sorry to say..now the search is on for hiking boots..

        I needed to get very supportive hiking boots that I could wear every day due to a slow-healing fractured leg. These boots are so comfortable yet very stabilizing. I couldn't have asked for a better boot.

        Comments about Asolo TPS 520 GV Hiking Boots - Women's:

        Because the price of the boots initially scared me, I waited nearly to the last minute to buy before our hike in the Grand Canyon. That being said, I wore them a few days around home as much as possible. They fit like a glove from the get-go. While hiking the canyon I wore them for 8 hours one day and 10 the next and have no complaints what-so-ever. While heavier and hotter than the boots I usually wear on other hikes, I was prepared for that and it wasn't an issue. My only wee complaint is that the laces coming untied periodically were a slight nuisance. You can just tell these babies are meant and constructed to last. I look forward to many years of hiking together.

          Very comfortable boots. Off an on wearing for about 2 weeks before over 20 miles of hiking (rocks, snow, mud, up and down mountain sides) No pain in my feet, had good traction, kept feet warm and dry. Purchase 1/2 size larger than I wear as suggested. The fit was great.

          I absolutely love these boots. It really doesn't get better than this. They are true to size so remember to get a size or half size bigger if you are going to be wearing thick wool socks or the liner and wool socks. I had to and they fit wonderfully! They are so far holding up well and do take a longer break in but are totally worth it. Well worth the money!

              I bought these to replace a pair of Vasques that I had used that just never really fit right. I was looking for ankle support that would not bind and I found it in this pair of boots. They are pricey but well worth it: no pain!

                I have had these Asolo boots for more than 5 years and thought it was time I wrote a review about them. They still are in great shape even though I am hard on my boots. I've climbed 14ers, backpacked, day hiked on easy to difficult trails, snowshoed in them, and even wear them on snowy days in Denver. There's no break-in time with them. They are easy to lace-up. I never get blisters in them and there's great support. My feet are average width and have an average arch. I know these are more expensive than other boots but they are worth it! If you plan to snowshoe in them I would suggest also wearing toe warmers because they do not stay super warm.

                  Bought these at the REI Denver. Best hiking boots I've ever had. I hiked Mt. Lindsey the next day - they were super comfortable and no break-in was needed. I also hiked Mt of the Holy Cross two days later and through all of that, not one blister. They had awesome ankle support - I felt secure bouldering and in scree. Also, my toes never hit in the toe box during hiking. The toe-box is build really well. They didn't slip as I hiked, they stayed snug - I wore a liner and a light wool sock with it. Overall, I'd highly recommend these boots. They cost more than some others but are well worth it!!
