excellent boot
cjxn15 years ago
I just finished the Overland Track in Tasmania wearing a pair of these. The track covers about 40 miles through all sorts of terrain--lots of scree and muck and roots and water, flat terrain and steep ascents and quick descents--and the boots covered it all admirably.
My back weighed about 45 pounds.
The boots kept my feet warm and dry. Keeping them dry was no small feat given the conditions. I never developed a blister and I never gave a thought to the comfort of my feet.
In short, this is an excellent boot.
I heeded the advice of others an ordered a wide boot despite the fact that I normally wear a normal shoe. The wide boot fit perfectly with a pair of midweight hiking socks.

Good until they fell apart

I had less than 50 miles on these boots when the soles separated. Lucky for me, I wasn't miles from my car. The soles on these are notoriously unreliable, and I 'd never take them on any serious trekking, due to their failure to work as boots. Search the internet for Asolo and soles delaminating. REI wouldn't replace them, and Asolo won't fix them without spending $200 on sending them to Italy.

Lost love – gained Hate

Bought these boots at REI, granted, I’ve had these boots for a few years, I LOVED these boots, put about 60 hiking miles on them; wore them 2-3 times around town, they were great! Until the last 27-mile loop hike, which we were about 12 miles into when one sole fell off, and then the other within a half mile. Ever carry a 60-pound pack over rocky terrain in your river shoes for about 15 miles? The bottom of my feet looked like a bad blood blister, took more than a week just to walk again. Can’t hate enough after the cost of taking the time off work, traveling 300 + miles to the hike with friends, to have such a miserable time because of these high-dollar boots.

Great Lava Stomper
15 years ago
These boots almost made me cry like a little girl for the first few months. The break in time was horrendous, almost to the point where I was going to toss them-I had huge heal blisters regardless of attempts to prevent problems. Alas, after breaking in and only periodically dealing with heal blisters, I spent several years hiking in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park whilst living on the Big Island. These puppies became soul mates-light and an awesome grip on the fresh lava-I could truck over pahoehoe or a'a lava speedily and with confidence. The constant up and down over lava requires sturdy, supportive paws with traction and light foot load. Check all three. The tread wore out over time, which is expected on the lava, but they held together pretty well with shoe-goo, but not as gripping. I almost bought another pair, but since I'm on O'ahu now I went with another boot. If you can live with a potentially long break in period these might be your boots. If you plan on lava stompin, then break in a pair because they are simply awesome for that purpose.

BLISTER HELL
14 years ago
After years of use, trying all sorts of sock combos and conditions... I GIVE UP! Why it has taken me so long? look at the price tag and reviews! They are great boots Why give up? I have lost the entire back of my heels to them too many times. Each time convincing myself that there is a way to prevent it, and each time failing at some serious cost of injury to my feet. Sorry cant do it again and forced to write a review to warn others. Note: 1) I have hot feet normally anyway 2)The boot cloth liner moves with friction against the booth 3)The waterproof and cold proof elements lock in heat For the hot footed among us, avoid avoid avoid

Best boot I've ever owned!
16 years ago
Excellent fit and comfort for me (size 13W). Wore them (almost) out of the box with limited breakin time. The first good backpacking trip included rock-hopping to make 6+ creek crossings, a day of rain, muddy trails with water running down them, and wet rocks. Overall the boots stayed dry (until I slipped off a rock into water over the top of the boot . . .)and had good traction on multiple poor surfaces. Even wet inside, they were comfortable and did not produce blisters. No toe banging even on steep, long downhills. I can't think of anything negative except maybe that they do take a while to dry out after you fill them with water!

Most uncomfortable boots I've ever worn
15 years ago
I have a slightly wide front and narrow heel. Nothing crazy or anything. I wore these boots for about 10 hrs trying to break them in, but on the first real day hike I had to turn around my feet hurt so much. Front of my feet felt awesome, heel and ankle just terrible. The break in the boot if you know what I mean, just pinched the heck out of my foot. Something in the ankle where you lace up just cut into my ankle like crazy on one of the boots when I'd get it tight enough to not have heel slip. I even had a high end insert that I tried too, with no luck. Thank goodness for the REI return policy. I wouldn't buy a boot from any other company.

I wanted to like this boot, but...
15 years ago
I had high hopes for this boot - it is a great looking durable boot that felt good in the store. It seems that most Asolo boots are narrow across the toes - these seemed wide enough but after a long hike they were squeezing toes together on the left foot. The biggest problem though was that they did not hold my heel well on a trip up Half-Dome. About three quarters of the way up they started to wear the skin off the back of my heels. This made for a long painful day. I have seen two more complaints for this same issue by other reviewers. I may keep them for shorter, flat hikes, but have purchased a pair of Zamberlans for longer treks.

Tore up my feet
12 years ago
I tried these in the store several times before I bought them. I thought they would be good for backpacking. I dayhiked in these for a while and did some city hikes and the Asolos seemed ok, so off I went on a four day backpack in Yosemite. It was hot, in the 90s, and rugged of course. The boots held up to the terrain fine with good grip and protection, but at the cost of my feet. I rarely get blisters or smashed toes, but got a blister the first day and another one the next day the last day I got two smashed toes even though I went up a half size on these boots. I was really disappointed. I came home and gave them to charity. I hope someone else had better luck with them.

Sole detached from boot too early in life
6 years ago
While initially excited about this boot (they were comfortable from day 1), my current displeasure cannot be measured. The sole of the boot has detached at the heel on BOTH of them. I've had these for a few years now, but not much heavy use (nothing in the backcountry, unfortunately). I'm not sure what caused this but I spent $200 and barely got to use them (compared to my prior pair of boots which latest years and probably hundreds of miles of walking/hiking/backcountry use). Asolo, you're OFF MY LIST when I go looking for a replacement pair. I have completely lost faith in the quality of these boots.
