Comments about Asolo Fugitive GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:
Very happy with these boots. Support is good and I've found the traction in Adirondack mud and boulders to be top notch.
I have a torn Meniscus in my left knee and it actually bothered me less with these boots on even with a 30 Lb load in my backpack.

Comments about Asolo Fugitive GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:
This was my second pair of boots, after returning my Salewa Alps Trainers (great boot, just didn't fit my foot), needless to say, I was very impressed! Very comfortable, waterproof and durable. While they are not the lightest, the amount of support and durability they provide is worth the few extra ounces (my packweight is 35lbs and up). Just like any other boot, certain ones fit certain feet, just be sure to include this in the list of those you try on. Plus, who doesn't like the rugged, classic styling?

Comments about Asolo Fugitive GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:
After hiking along the AT with a friend and seeing how these worked for him, I had to buy a pair for myself. I love the support for my ankles. That is one of my greatest concerns when hiking in the North Georgia mountains. While hiking along many trails here, good ankle support is a must when climbing over large rocks or in the sometimes soft, movable dirt. Good gripping is also important and these boots do an amazing job at both. I would recommend these boots to any hiker.

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.

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

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.

Great boots, they do wear quicker than some, but they're still an awesome trail pounding boot!

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!
