    Comments about Asolo AFS Evoluzione Mountaineering Boots - Men's:

    While I'd checked these boots out thoroughly, I was very surprised by their performance while on a 5 day Rainier climb. With virtually no break in, I had no hotspots, no rubbing, no chaffing! Climbed over boulders, trees and several stream crossings with a fully loaded pack, no problems!

    The grip was good on wet ground as well as snow, crampons were easy to attach. Toes got a little cold while sitting around base camp, nothing unbearable or unusual.

    All in all I was very surprised how well they performed!
