When I leave the house, probably 90%+ of the time, I'll be wearing these. I just bought my third pair (the first is leather, the other two fabric). Very high build quality (as are my Asolo midweight hikers and mountaineering boots), very comfortable (I can and do wear them all day and hike long distances in them), supportive (they're more like low-cut boots than shoes), and totally waterproof. I have non-waterproof approach shoes as well (Scarpas), and those are great, but if the ground's wet (from dew, rain, or snow), I know my feet won't get wet with these. Very important! They're great on technical terrain, but unless you get the high-tops, your ankles are exposed (and of course, those are going to be even more supportive). They're OK for moderate climbing/casual bouldering (<5.10+/V3) if you cinch them up, but on anything requiring precise footwork, you'll want proper rock shoes. A bit pricey, but if you get them on sale (and all Asolos are resoleable), they're even more worth it (I got these as back-ups--they'll probably stay in the box for some time).
Returned. Not enough cushion on the sole.
