Very comfortable right out of the box. Just what I was looking for. Size was as expected.

This is the third time I've used Zappos. Like the other two times everything went smoothly. Early delivery and product was exactly what I ordered. I will continue to use Zappos.

As for the boots...bought my 1st pair in '02, less than 2 weeks later did a 60 mile wilderness back-pack trip in Wyoming, feet felt great, warm & dry. Finally wore the soles off after 8 years of almost daily wear, and even when the soles were falling off, the boots never leaked any water when standing in the creek! And my new Asolo boots are again my favorite footwear of choice, fit great, comfortable, and wearing them almost everyday. As far as Zappos.com...after much searching to find my new Asolo replacements at outdoor retailer stores, I decided to check out Zappos.com and found them in just a couple of clicks, and for less money, and free shipping, and got them in just a couple of days! Great job Zappos! I'll be back!

This is a fantastic boot for me. It is very comfortable and seems to "roll" with your foot as you walk from heel to ball of foot. It fits my slightly flat feet like a glove and has greatly alleviated long-standing foot and knee problems. The boot in snow is moisture resistant and keeps my feet reasonably warm and dry. Size 14 fits my normally size 12 foot. The 2 day delivery was super fast.

I shopped every boot I could find in a store (before Zappos of course) to find a good hiking boot as I've heard from so many friends that these boots don't hurt until you are half way up the mountain. I wanted something that looked like I was climbing Everest (the dialed down version not the flashy version) and something more than your basic entry level hiking boot. The Lexus full size SUV of shoes. I bought a pair of these 4 years ago and still love them. They are super comfortable and frankly indestructible. With these boots I went hiking yes. I also built a house, got nails stuck in them, did a lot of major gardening covering them in mulch and grime to be hosed down numerous times, wore them in the snow, crawled under houses with them, etc, etc., etc. If I took a picture and posted it, they still look darn near new and they have been so heavily abused its not funny. To me these boots offer the style and comfort of the full size Lexus SUV with the unstoppable dependability of a 1965 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40. Amazing. I'd say that I'd buy another pair, but frankly I'll probably be shopping for some shoelaces in about 10 years. You wont be disappointed.

Great all purpose boot - Comfortable and fit true to size. Wore them on a 4 hour hike 2 days after I bought them with minimal issues. Actually had the shoes shipped to Tucson, AZ for my hiking adventure and they were there when I arrived. Zappos has great service!!! I would highly recommend these boots.

I had this boot during a 260mile excursion in the High Sierra Backcountry; more rugged than any weeklong hunting excursion in Wyoming! The FSN boot held up amazingly! I got two minor blisters, considering I ascended and decended countless 10K+ mountains with a 50lbs ruck. The fact that they’re not vibram soles had nothing to do with their performance. Besides, after the mountain excursion, the boots kept trucking for about 200 more miles before serious wear made them less than ideal for backcountry use.

Leather sneakers - Lot's of folks speak of the desert on this boot. Yep it works well there. As well as the high wet jungle in Peru. The idea of a desert is no unnoticed climate down south. Of course what boot will keep a good traction on wet stone other than a barefoot wrapped into the crevices. With proper arch support this boot fits better than any glove on the foot. Never mind the look, the only improvement would be loose the fabric eyelets. They only break under pressure. Alton

THE boot. This boot is the real deal. I have worn this boot for 4 years in two combat theaters. Snow, rain, desert, mtn....these boots perform. I am now on my second pair. If you want the boot that the real "Operators" wear this is it. Even if you are just a normal hiker this is the only boot you will ever need.

Way better than issue. Operators and Wanna-bes this is the all-terrain Gore-Tex boot for you. This boot will get you through the mountains, the desert, and whatever else might be thrown at you. They are the boots that any SF operator needs. Put those issue desert boots in the locker, and pick these up. The Asolo FSN 95 GTX breathe, and are waterproof. Anyone that thinks rain is not an issue in the desert hasn't been there when it rains. The traction is great and the soles are long lasting. The sole hardness can give some traction issues in wet conditions but it lessens with wear. The support and comfort are top notch. It takes about two weeks to really break them in, but they are comfortable right out of the box. Snow and Ice are also a bit treacherous in these, but the benefit vastly out weighs the drawbacks.

The Ultimate Shoe - Most people are drawn to this shoe by its extraordinary looks. After getting over the sticker shock and purchasing a pair, they will surely understand the cost of this awesome shoe. It really is a boot and a good looking one at that. I am on my third pair and will hope that Asolo never quits producing this gem. You will not be disappointed with the way this shoe makes your feet feel "correct."

First impressions - They fit great. They pinched my little toe a tiny bit at first, but that went away once they were broken in a tiny bit. I’ve used them for some snow-shoeing as well as a couple hikes and around town in the snow. My only complaint is that on wet rock or concrete, they tend to slip pretty easily. Other than that, they are some of the most comfortable boots I’ve ever had and I would recommend them to anyone.

Breaking in boots - I received my boots several weeks ago and the mild weather in the New York area provided an ideal opportunity to break them in. I have traveled over 40 miles so far, and as I sink into the shoe, each hike is better. I have wide feet, and I really liked the Double EE size I ordered. The boots are sturdy, light and grip well.

Great shoe - My shoes have been in the Grand Canyon for weeks, to the deserts and mountains of Egypt and wooded areas of Pennsylvania. This is a great boot.

They fit and are comfortable! My husband is VERY picky about the fit of his shoes and is hard to buy for. The Asolo's were worth every penny. He loves them and I'm happy that I am done shopping for a while!
