Asolo

I took a risk and put some serious miles on these boots without ever having "worn them in." These boots are brilliant. Just spent a week climbing and trekking at 13,200 feet in Colorado. Feet stayed dry, warm, and didn't get a single hot spot, even with snow shoes on. I did slap a little wax on the upper nylon areas before hand so I can't attest to how dry they'd stay if I hadn't done that. Couldn't be happier about my purchase.

I needed to find great hiking boots and thought these would do the trick. I put them on for a leisurely walk around my neighborhood. Within two blocks the outer sides of my big ties were rubbing on the side of the shoe. I took off my socks and I have two nice blisters. I am glad that I tried them on the street before I took a real hike.

Feels great straight out of the box. Note that all inserts will sit on top of existing inserts in the boot; while ankle-high style makes this mostly redundant, some may find the lack of arch/pronation support disconcerting. A fantastic fit and daily wear for me regardless!

Great boot! Very well made, feels better after wearing it for several days to school. At first fit it seemed a little short, not quite a 10, more like a 9 and 3/4. However, after wearing a few days, this disappeared and boot fits very well. It did break in quicker than I thought it would. Width is very accurate. I will buy this boot again in the future.

I typically wear an 8.5-9 in hiking boots. Ordered these in a 9 and they were perfect. They are nice looking boots, not clunky-looking, good quality construction, wider in forefoot for great comfort, rounded toe. I added my own insole for proper arch support. They make a crinkly sound when I walk - the ankle support is soft and giving, but still firm and supportive - one of the best ankle supports I've seen yet. But what I did not like - I have not had a good experience with Vibram rubber soles. And the lugs on these are not very aggressive, they may not give one the aggressive grip action for climbing and treading rocks. This shoe with it's "natural shape" seems to be a hiking boot trying to be like the "bare technology" in running shoes. Unfortunately, I need more support. They are darker in color than they appear online. Overall, a great boot if you don't have sensitive feet.

Nice boot, just a little too heavy for me to wear on a twelve hour day.

These boots are gorgeous. Buttery soft. Long and narrow. Not enough arch support for my high arch. Boo hoo. Have to send them back.

This boot is heavy in the sole, and the sole is quite stiff. This is my first backpacking boot, so this took some getting used to. The footbed is comfortable and supportive, and everything about the boot feels of the best quality - laces, eyelets/hooks, tongue, ankle support, sole grip, leather upper. My feet tend to sweat profusely, but most of the time the boot's breathability keeps up with the sweating.

I purchased these boots about 1 month ago, and I think they will wear very well. Out of the package, they seemed very high quality and comfortable. I wear between an 8.5 and 9 in women's and I was unsure what size to go with here. I decided on the 8.5, and even with my thickest sock, they were very roomy in the toe and fit just right. Regardless of what other reviewers have said, I still think it's important to break a boot in over time before wearing on a long hike straight out of the box. Although comfortable, I started to get a small hot spot on a short hike in my brand-new boots. I attribute this to the break-in period and don't anticipate problems once they've been properly broken in. I would definitely recommend these boots!

Really comfortable, even for those with wide feet. Great walking and working and hiking shoes.

These boots are built like a tank, they're stiff but there made to be that way. Add some green superfeet and old kook laces and they will last you a lifetime. Asolos I've found are narrow and are about a half size to a size too big so. I wear a 9 1/2 D in Vans so. I ordered a 9 wide and I must say they are perfect. I've had a pair of Asolos for about five years and I'm a big guy and I'm rough on shoes and boots so trust me when I say if you want a sturdy quality, waterproof hiking boot Asolo is the best I've found.

These replaced my 11 year old pair of the same boot. If they last 11 years as well, I will be just as happy as I was with the first pair. They fit my somewhat narrow foot well and are quite rugged.

Great boots. Sturdy, light weight, and comfortable. I am very happy with the purchase and expect them to last a long time.

Perfect for deploying to Afghanistan. As with all Asolos, order a half size bigger. Rugged and they last. Have used them in both cold and hot weather.

My left foot was severely damaged in a lawn mower accident so I have to find boots with good ankle support which has not been an easy task. However, these boots have worked out great. Most boots don't cover the ankle but these do and they have plenty of inner padding. I would highly recommend these boots for anyone needing comfort and ankle support.

I have fussy feet and it's difficult finding a shoe that's comfortable. I also have a weak ankle and keep twisting it. I bought these boots specifically for that ankle and they work like a charm. These boots are worth the money. They are very stable. There are so many times they prevented a twist. When hiking on ridged, rocky trails there's no painful feet the next day. Because they are so stable, there is not a lot of bend in the boot so your calf and hamstrings may feel a little sore until you get used to them. Stretch well before the hike. I recommend buying 1/2 size larger. I bought my size and they felt fine but when I hiked my toes kept hitting the front of the boot injuring my toe nails. I love these boots. They're the best! Thank you Zappos for putting up with sending me so many shoes until I finally pick a pair.

As Darth Vader would say "Impressive, most impressive." This is a high quality piece of footwear that looks like it was designed to last. That said they are not lightweight tennis shoes, these are honest to goodness hiking boots, they have excellent traction, construction, and water resistance. I could not be happier with the purchase.

I ordered these to fill the need for a "light hiking boot-meets-heavy sneaker" niche. They fulfill my hope. I wore them all day on a rocky construction site, and they were super comfortable. I normally am an 8.5, sometimes a 9. I ordered these in an 8.5, and they were big. I noticed in the label in the tongue that the European equivalent was 40.2/3 (how weird is that?). Well, I'm typically a 39 in European sizes. So I sent those back and ordered the 8. It came, and says it's equivalent to a Euro 40. Whatever, these fit perfectly and I just love them. They do run large, however, so take that into account.

These seem to be comfortable, fairly well made shoes. I've been using Garmont's for years (Momentums'), and the Asolo is a little more flexible, not quite as supportive & not quite as heavy-duty for a low-profile waterproof shoe. Best for smaller built people.

The Asolo GV MM is the best hiking boot I've ever bought! Great fit, comfortable & well made! The Gore-tex lining works well here in the Pacific North-west & keeps my feet dry. Am planing on buying one more pair in a different color.
