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

      I usually take days hikes every to every other weekend and take often multi day trips into the backcountry. I was looking for an excellent all around boot for my needs, one that could be used for light hikes and extended trips with more rigorous terrain. These seemed to fit the bill. After extensive research on my part. they seemed like the perfect buy. Indeed they were, they are so resilient they can even be used for backpacking! Yet they are listed for light hiking. The Gore-tex lining was the icing on the cake for me. They fit amazingly well, have unbelievable traction and even look good. I had to buy the green Superfeet to take up some extra volume, which only added my being impressed. Overall these were an awesome buy. Price was well worth it considering what they can be used for. I will never by anything but an Asolo boot.

      Great boot, comfortible, great support, great traction and waterproof. I have had two pairs and both of them have soles that have started to come apart after about 7 months and the tread wears off quickly. I have about 250 miles on these over rough terrain and some paved paths, but very comfortible over any surface.

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

      These are hands down the most comfortable hiking boots I have ever used. They took a little longer to break in than cheaper boots but it is well worth it. Unbelievable on the trail and off. The lacing system is something that should have come along a while ago. I have retired my old boots and will never get on the trail with anything other than an Asolo Boot.

        At the time I write this, [...] lists the weight of a pair of Flames as 3 lbs 4oz. Asolo lists the weight as 640 gr per boot (size 8 UK, size 8.5 US)which would be about 2 lbs 13oz per pair. My size 8.5 US weigh 2 lbs 14oz straight out of the box, measured on a triple beam balance. That is very close to the Asolo figure but almost 6 ounces less than the [...] number.

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

              Snug, highly responsive, solid, dry, boot. If you trust your feet and balance its a great product. I compared it to a similar pair of Solomon's and prefer the thin solidity of the Asolo's. This sole is more narrow than others which could potentially have less grip on rocks or sand if climbing. Needed very little break in - no blisters or hot spots ever. Needs more cushion though. After 90-100 miles I opted for a non-factory insert and happier for it. I would factor these into the boot price from the start. The sole is definitely not as solid as a Vibrom or similar brand, but has more elasticity for it. I've heard much talk of Asolo tread wearing out, but the sole of my last pair outlasted the leather - 10 years, including a Himalayan trek and journey around the world with them. Lastly, its a very warm boot. Perhaps too warm in the peak of summer unless you have many water crossings.

                After coming from a leather boot, these are a dream. I had a pair of Columbia's that were good, they just did hold the water back. The Asolo boots are watertight, warm, everything you want in a hiking boot. Well worth the little extra coin.

                While this boot maybe has a sole that doesn't collect mud it is so shallow that in a year it is worn smooth. Traction isn't bad but not great either while there is still tread on the sole (6 months ).I would never buy any hiking boot that doesn't have a vibram sole again. This boot is ok if you only want to wear it to church on sundays.
