Asolo  Tahoe GTX Hiking Shoes - Men's

These boots are great. I've put about 100 miles in them over the past month in various conditions. They kept me dry and secure on mushy spring snow, they've been stable through hikes with a 40lb pack, and they are plenty agile for scrambling and trail running. I usually don't think of "quiver killers" with footwear, but these make a good case for it!

Shoe is firm and stable. I'm a big Asolo fan to begin with, because they fit my feet correctly. I prefer a more solid feeling shoe than many of the more bouncy shoes people put out today. It's the right hiking shoe for me.

I've been using Asolo hiking boots/shoes for around 45 years, and consider this brand to be one of the best in the world, but when I ordered these Tahoe GTX shoes, I failed to see where they were made - Asia (Vietnam). I've always ordered the ones made in Romania or Italy. These Tahoe GTX shoes are definetely NOT Asolo quality. I've been wearing them around the house for 2-3 hours, and they do not fit very snug, (feels wide), and they seem to not "ventilate". I feel they would be a little risky hiking on rugged terrain. I'm very disappointed in Asolo company having shoes made in Asia, but still selling them for such a high price, as if they were made in Romania. I will say they were shipped very quickly though.

Well built hiking shoe. Solid construction from sole to laces. Very comfortable footbed. Durable outer fabric resists mud, dirt, and debris. The traction is kick butt! Fits LARGE?! I wear a Size 8/12 - 9 and had to go down to a Size 8 for a more snug trail fit. (Unusual for Asolo footwear.)

Prologue: I have a narrow foot and like a wide toe box for spreading my long toes (i.e., I'm an Altra fan). I wasn't even looking for new a hiking shoe when I tried this on on a whim, and walked around the store for a good amount of time when I realized that this was the best use of my coupon. I bought the shoes, put in adequate insoles (Note: Almost no footwear company provides quality insoles, including high-end brands, and this is by design, as arch height and cushioning preferences are too personal to make a universal insole that fits everyone, and the older you get and more familiar you become with orthotics, the more you'll understand this), and used them to backpack for 17+ miles just a week later. With the appropriate insoles and heel-lock lacing (if you don't know how to lace shoes to lock in your heel, look it up on YouTube: it's easy, and it can make all the difference in how well a shoe/boot fits), my feet were completely comfortable the whole hike, and I didn't even have the beginnings of a blister. These shoes were also stalwart performers. The midsoles gave me the stability and firm cushioning I needed, the outsoles had reliable tread and grip, and the Gore-Tex membrane kept my feet dry even while walking through spongy soil and shallow puddles. While these are marketed as fastpacking shoes, the Asolo Tahoes felt completely comfortable for a 170-lb. man with a 30-lb. pack.

Used this shoe for day use to break it in but even then, my feet would start hurting after a few hours of use. It has very little cushion, especially in the forefoot. But the nail in the coffin was taking them out on a 6 mile hike through rocky terrain. My feet have never hurt so bad. I used to wear Sportiva GTX Hiking shoes before they were discontinued and am still looking for some comparable shoes. Even my Hoka Challenger ATR 6 Trail Running Shoes were more comfortable than these.

Two month review: traction is great, all day comfort however walking through short wet grass in the mornings with my dog, makes my socks wet. I don’t understand it, there is a Gortex liner, but I’m tired of having wet feet and then I have to change my socks out and dry my shoes, and this is at two months. I expected more from Asolo. I’m pretty unhappy with them. I’ve had similar brands do better.

Fit is spot on, very comfortable. Been walking 4-5 miles per day and enjoying my Christmas present

I enjoy hiking in these shoes. Soft material in the shoe heel area reduces impact to the back. These are my go to hiking shoes. I am older and have replaced the insole with an orthotic for added long walk comfort.

Just recently used for the first time on a camping trip. Light weight and very comfortable. We did get moisture and feet/socks remained dry. 10.5 med Will definitely buy again
