      Comments about Asolo Fugitive GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:

      I've had these for over a year now with no complaints. Followed a break in routine and never had a blister. In my area, it is rife with a lot of ankle twisting rocks (golfball to baseball size) and these puppies have saved my ankles way more than a few times. Nice stable platform.

          When I first bought this boot I thought it was a bit stiff. With any really good boot they start that way, a little stiff. Now that its broken in I love this boot! Great traction fits snug but not restrictive. Great support. I don't regret the cost which is a little high. This is a well thought out boot.

            Got these for my little bro who had chronic back pain - he is off medication and back in the woods, where he belongs. Got him a second pair for work (lite construction, mechanic, trees) so he could keep one pair just for hiking and around town. He's a happy guy. Had a pair of women's back in the day and they were great!

            Comments about Asolo Fugitive GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:

            Purchased summer 2012.Good all around,3 season hiking boots. Great for day hikes, light backpacking. Good for mild winter temps, down to low 20s. After that not warm enough and I switch to my Garmont Momentum winter boots. Also, if you have your feet submerged in snow for a couple of hours, even in warmer (30-40 degree) temps, they will get cold. Good for up to class 3 scrambling. Class 4 and up I switch to my Salewa Mid-Trainers, as the Fugitives don't seem nimble enough. On hot days they can feel too warm. The suede section doesn't dry quickly. Even though the waterproofing is still holding up, when the suede is wet, they can "feel" a little damp and cool right through the boot. Nikwax helped somewhat. The sole seems to have decent traction on wet rock. The original tread is not very deep though, so I wonder if it'll hold up over time. They fit with Petzl Vasak crampons. All things considered, I am very happy with them.

              Comments about Asolo Fugitive GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:

              I bought these boots because of the way the felt as soon as I put them on. I will buy another pair because of the way they wear. After 3 years, and over 400 miles of everything from trail hiking to heavy backpacking, these boots finally wore out. I normally tear up a pair of boots in less than a year. When my wife saw that I had worn these out, she asked when, not if, I was getting another pair. These have been hands down the best boots I have ever worn, and I wear boots 25 days out of 30. It didn't matter if I was hiking on sand to a boy scout camp out at the beach, or finishing a weeklong 50 miler on the PCT, these boots were solid. Do yourself a favor, and at least try them on.

                I trained for four months (about 200 miles) and walked 500 miles in them and had no regrets, complaints or problems. They still have about a 1/16 of an inch on the outside heels. Obviously each pair of feet is different, but I bought a second pair for when these wear out. In the entire 500 miles, over 90% of the walkers on the Camino had blisters. I had none. Thank you Asolo!

                    I needed new boots and tried these on after reading many favorable reviews. I usually wear a medium width but they only had the wide in my size and it was a very comfortable fit. So far I have only worn them for walking the dog and short 4 mile hikes to break them in. I find them supportive with no foot slippage and no hot spot rubbing. I will be taking them on a backpacking trip in April and hope to update this with a rave review for there work under the added weight of a pack.

                      Buy them true to size, do not buy 1/2 size larger than you need, you will get blisters. Best advice is to wear a good hiking sock, with a thin under sock. If you go to big in any boot, you will get blisters no matter how great the boot is. The break in time is very short, you should walk in them for a couple of weeks to break them in , then do some half day hikes a couple times, and you will be good to go. I just finished a 15 day 120 mile trek with a 55 pound pack, and they were great, no blisters. They are completely water proof, you can literally stand in a stream for 5 minutes, and your feet do not get wet. I was recommended these boots from a Spec Ops soldier that wore these for 9 months in Afghanistan and he swore by them. I am now leaving on a 1000K trek across Africa , and you can guarantee I am wearing my Asolo Fugitives. I am hooked on them, and will buy the same pair when these wear out.
