Excellent boots! We spent 12 days waking through the Himalayas, and there were like 7 of us using Asolo boots for the first time, and we loved them. Perfect arch support, ankle support, comfort, waterproof, and no one got any blisters! For us these boots have 5 stars!

I have a narrow heal and wide toe box, Asolo boots are a great fit. I bought the Attiva specifically to have a medium weight pack boot and these fit my expectations perfectly. Break-in time is much less then an all leather boot. Very pleased! For heavy loads on rocky ground I recommend another great boot in the Asolo line the TPS 520 BV.

These Asolo's are very comfortable they feel better than boots at the same time they have their own originality which everyone looks for.

This boot rocks! I purchased half size up. Climb Mount Adams in Washington state. Kept feet warm and dry through the snow fields. Excellent comfort level with no hot spots over rocks. Heel base is snug enough with plenty of room in the toe area. I felt very secure up and down the Mountain. Next trek: Everest base camp. I'll get back to you November 2009 for shoe update. This will be the real test.

This will tell you a lot - these boots arrived complete with a satin carrying case. The leather is soft (yet not floppy and prone to sagging) and flawless. The embroidered panel running up the front is beautiful. The stitching and leatherwork is just impeccable. The X detail on the side does not look cheap like I had guessed, but really adds an interesting element to an already busy boot. The buckles around the ankle - while numerous - help to make a big foot appear smaller. I wear a size 11 and am very sensitive about how large some shoes make my feet appear, so my month-long hunt for a multi-buckle boot has really paid off. If only I could find them in black and a hundred dollars cheaper... but I'm going to keep them anyway.

Attiva GTX - Super comfortable right out of the box. No real break-in time for hiking and stays comfortable all day. Light but protective. Love this boot. The green is fabulous. Zappos rules.

I am really enjoying this hiking boot. Great ankle and arch support. My one compliant would be that I have a very narrow foot and my actual foot had too much room to move around in when in the shoe (not talking length wise, but actual volume wise), but a pair of Superfeet fixed that quickly and easily. Would definitely recommend this boot to any lady out there looking to get outdoors.

Asolo Attiva GTX - Caribbean Blue - I have really long narrow feet, and these were the best of all the Asolo boots I tried. I really need a size 11.5 narrow, but since none of the boot manufacturers make that length and width and my foot is too narrow for a man's boot, I'm forced to try to find a boot I can get by with. I tried at least 6 other Asolo boots and several other boots of various brands. This was the only boot that was long enough that my toes don't slam the front going downhill and I was able to cinch them tight enough with heavy weight trekking socks that they were narrow enough. My first trip out with them was a 35 mile backpacking trip in Yosemite over Labor Day weekend. They worked out great! They are very stiff heavy duty boots. I love the Vibram soles and the Asobrake. They grip really well. I'd definitely recommend them.

My feet are long and narrow. Difficult to fit. I hike a variety of terrain, but mostly very long distances in challenging terrain (rocky and steep) with on average 35 pounds in backpack. Obviously comfort, stability, grip, durability are critical. Out of the box, they look great and felt comfy. However, after wearing them around the house for a week, with hiking socks of various thicknesses, I discovered heel slippage, rubbing around ankles, and various hot spots. Could not wait to get out of them. Maybe the Supergreen insoles would have helped, but I did not even bother with them. Too bad, these look great on. Wish there was a great extra heavy duty backpacking boot that looked cute on the foot. Still looking for a heavy duty boot, latest one that seems to work is the Asolo power max 200, but I am still testing 3 others.

Never have I purchased a pair of hiking boots that actually became less comfortable as I broke them in. I understand that they are meant to be light weight, but the manufacturers sacrificed too much cushioning to make a lighter boot. I began to feel every seam within the toebox and these points continuously wore my foot. It was not a matter of the boots being too narrow. They felt true to size in all respects, and fit very well. They just did not provide the comfort I was hoping for in a day-hiking boot.
