LOVE these boots! They are ready to travel to the Alps with me. I didn't even really have to break them in. The only issue I had was that the side of the tongue was rubbing my shin, but I fixed that once I tied my laces a bit tighter. I like a sturdy boot so that I can just crash through whatever is in my path (plus I'm good at hurting myself with softer boots). These definitely fit the bill!

I have had two pairs of these boots. Very comfortable. I hunt in them in the mountains of NC. They will only last about a year before they start leaking and toe comes loose.

I have been on a quest to find new hiking boots for five years! Have tried so many different boots I was really sick of it. These Asolos finally ended my search! They were instantly comfortable, took no breaking in. And I have been on some hard 10 mile hikes up rough trails and they remain comfortable. I have somewhat narrow feet. I wear anywhere from an 8.5 to 9.5, and the 9 is what I chose. Still have about an inch of room in front but that keeps my toes from jamming on steep downhills. They are really lightweight, which is nice. I didn't think I wanted the light brown color, but I ended up preferring it. Looks better in person.

Top quality boot - I bought these to replace the ones I bought 15 (!) years earlier. Not exactly as pictured - laces are more rope-like and lining is dark brown, not tan. They will feel stiff at first but break in for excellent ankle support. Overall, unbeatable.

I have wide feet and have had double bunion surgery with screws in each foot, so need a boot that is roomy in the toe box. These are my 4th pair of Asolo boots. I have used boot liner inserts before however this pair has great arch support and enough cushion, so don't need my orthotics or inserts. BUT this pair, unlike my other Asolo boots is loose in the heel, even when tied tight around ankle. Bought these for serious backpacking, and they definitely need time to break in. Remains to be seen if loose fit in heel will be problematic. Also, small toe guard in front means leather susceptible to scuffing.

I have a problem finding boots to fit. These were a shot in the dark and I am overall very pleased. esp. with the Gortex liner and Vibrum soles. I can be wear them for about 6 hours a day.

Wish they looked more like traditional boots. I think boot fit is very individual, but these were right for me! I have a preference for narrower style, tight-fitting shoes (think indoor soccer shoes, climbing shoes) Broke them in from brand new on a NH 4000 footer. I was expecting miserable feet as unbroken-in boots tend to be a terrible idea, but not even a single blister out of these guys after a 10 mile day! The entire trail was mud, slush, and water several inches deep. Had to cross 3 raging rivers as it was spring. At the end of the day, my feet were perfectly dry. As long as the water/mud doesn't get over the top of these boots, you will be dry. We'll see how they hold up long-term but first impressions are very good.

Need larger sizes. They need to make up to size 15 and 16. Come one Asolo. I have grown out of my pair of size 13's and need to bump up to a 15, but have been left out in the cold. Give us larger sizes on this boot and across your line of products. Especially considering anyone looking to wear a double layer of socks would want to size up.

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!

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.
