Best Ever - I'm 55 years old and have been hiking and Backpacking since I was 14.All the way through Boy Scouts. This is the best boot I have ever owned. Rock solid sole, comfortable fit and very good in the rain and mud. I hike a lot in England in spring and fall and had some reservations about anything other than full leather. Not to worry.

Impressed - Truely the best pair of boots I've ever owned. Had them for 3 years now and there's still no sign of tear and wear--well to be honest the small yellow Asolo logo on the sole fell off but that only after 2 years of service :-). I just love them... carried me faithfully through 3 scout camps and lots of hikes and I wouldn't change them for the world...

Great service and boots - I love these boots. I just got back from my first backpacking trip in these boots and they did a great job! My feet stayed cool and dry and no blisters!! Zappos is THE best on the web!

Wow! I just love these boots! The thing that first impressed me was their extremely light weight I think they feel almost as lite as an athletic shoe. The comfort and fit is top notch while providing excellent support and traction. The only slight downside is they can be a little warm for here in the Chihuahuan desert of west Texas but they never get that uncomfortably hot. These are the best boots I have ever owned.

Why were any other boot? I'm was a first time Zappos customer but not any longer. I would do it again today!! I ordered my Asolo Fusion 95 GTX's on Wednesday at about 2pm, I was given the best customer service I have ever had. I had been shopping at bootbay.com and actually was able to find a better price but on a recommendation from a friend at work I found Zappos. What a friend...Zappos's Price Protection worked and the salesman upgraded my order to 2day shipping my boots were on the porch when I got home on Thursday. Wow!! The boot...Second pair of Fusion 95's I have owned. I wore the other pair for three years everyday all day...hike/work why buy any other. THANKS ZAPPOS!!

Asolo FSN 95 GTX - I broke in these particular boots, by wearing them to work one to two days for a couple of weeks, then gave them the full desert treatment: rocks, cactus, steep inclines, and descends, etc., and the boot performed excellent.

Asolo FSN 95 GTX a great boot - Really like these boot. I like them so much I constantly wore them all of the time (hiking, working). Needless to say, I should have only used them when I was out hiking.... They held up very good. I do need them resoled... I considering to have them resoled because they are a very good boot.

The Best hiking boots ever! I love these boots! They feel more like tennis shoes than hiking boots. They fit like a glove right out the box. I got free shipping from Zappos & they arrived two days after placing my order!!! Zappos rules Thanx...

Asolo FSN 95 GTX on overnight hike - Based on 20 miles over the Appalachian Trail in So. Pennsylvania, these boots seem comfortable and relatively easy to break in. It is difficult to avoid some friction at the back of the heel if your feet are relatively narrow there, however, as the boot cinches tightly across the top of the foot without tightening its grip around the ankle much at all. I'll have to see if further break-in solves this problem. I like the tread, the roomy toebox, and the overall comfort of the shoe very much, and the weight is reasonable, too.

Over-Pronate Fallen Archs GREAT BOOT - I am a lady with a wide, straight foot and fallen arches that cause me to over-pronate. In job and non-work life I am constantly walking on rough, uneven ground. This boot is sturdy, yet flexible. And the design (tips the foot outward a bit) reduces my over-pronation.

FSN95GTX Alaska Adventure - Good boot right out of the box. No real break in required. Sole is rather soft but grips well. Toe guard keeps edge of boot from getting scuffed. Eyelets could use some improvements as they can pinch on the top of the foot. Sole could use a plastic shank to help keep things solid after the boot breaks in. Repels water well, and even better when treated with Asolo boot spray. Laces are good quality. Good quality shoe but should be a bit cheaper around 140ish. Would by again for light hiking with a pack less then 40 lbs.

Not a boot for wet rock - I am sort of surprised that this boot gets such high marks. The sole is absolutely horrible on wet granite or limestone. Really, no one has had this experience? I've worn many boots and trail runners over 35 years of climbing and backpacking and the GTX soles are some of the worst.

I've worn many boots and trail runners over 35 years of climbing and backpacking and the GTX soles are some of the worst. Here's a good shoe sole test: find some smooth or painted concrete (like your porch), wet the concrete and shuffle along. Does the boot slip? Now think what it will do walking down a glacial polished granite slab. Enough said.

Solid boot - but don't believe all the hype. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase. The boot appears to be a quality one. A word of warning, though. A number of reviewers state, "No break-in time needed". The boot might be comfortable right out of the box, but it is not ready to go on a long hike. I tried to break mine in by wearing them around the house for a couple weeks and then wore them on a three day camping trip (no hikes). I then went on a four-day, 40+ mile hike north of Monadnock in NH, ending with the Monadnock climb. My feet did fare better than some on the hike, but I did have blisters by the end of the third day. By the end of the fourth day, I was in serious pain. The boot needs to be broken in just like any other. The boots did keep my feet dry, but they weren't as ventilated as I would have liked (typical with waterproof boots). Also, you might want to replace the insoles - they're pretty flimsy. Finally, the boot runs just a tad narrow, so if you do have wide feet, definitely go for the wider version.

Asolo FSN 96 GTX - I have wide feet and also, Morton's Neuroma caused by too tight shoes. These shoes feel great and fit perfect. I would wear theme everywhere if I could.

Great Boot but there are things you should know - These are by far the most comfortable boots I have ever owned. I would recommend them to anyone, especially if you have a trip coming up without much break in time. Ups: Comfort, Looks Downs: Sole wear, Waterproofing (After a few years)
