Wonderful boot - Great support, easy to get in/out of, & comfortable right away, except that I had to get it a little large to accommodate an extra long second toe and a very wide foot which means that it's a little large over all and I'm having to figure out the right sock combination to totally customize the fit for myself. I have a small foot (4.5 in length), but take a 5 to 5.5 in a boot for comfort. I tried the 5 and the 5.5; the 5 actually seemed to be the same length as the 5.5, but was more narrow and squeezed my little toes, so I got the larger (5.5). A special quality to this boot for me is that even though it's technically "too long" for my foot, the uppers do not break awkwardly and uncomfortably across the top of my foot when I step. Where the shoes "breaks" is a frequent problem for me, especially with shoes that are more supportive/stiffer, because they're often designed to break at a certain point and if your foot is shorter than that for which the shoe is designed, then you're in trouble. But the uppers on these boots are not like that--they break where you need them to and so I have absolutely no discomfort on top. The lace placement is also great and allows for easy comfort adjustments. For extra comfort, I put pink Superfeet insoles in them. The boots work great for strutting along because they're light and flexible, as well as for climbing over rocks and navigating rocky, uneven trails and tricky steep trails with gravel. As soon as I get the sock business down, I'll be in heaven!

Oh, my gosh...best fit in a boot I have ever had. I wear two pairs of socks and I have plenty of toe room. Am training to climb Kilimanjaro in September and I am delighted with the boots...the color...the fit.

I tried on a dozen or so pairs after my favorite Dunhams died. These boots made my my feet fall in love at first sight. God arch support and nice and firm on the sides. Great boot

About Asolo
Asolo´s goal is to create great footwear for all of your outdoor needs, in all conditions, at all altitudes: from light walking to hiking, from backpacking to the most treacherous climbing - whether it be on ice or mixed terrain. The footwear is designed around the foot; flexible, lightweight, and at the same time, highly resistant. Fit and performance are major strengths for this design. The breathable footwear is able to shock-absorb even on the toughest terrains, while keeping away humidity, water, and cold weather. The highly researched soles are constructed in such a way that they will prevent slips and falls on the most slippery of terrains.
Since the beginning, Asolo is connected with experiences and people who live for the mountain. Together with the brand, they test boots that have been developed for the alpine/mountaineering athletes and for all people who "live" the mountain with love and passion.

I start this by stating that I have only really worn these boots for hiking for a few day hikes so far, but I tried to put them through the paces because they will be on my feet every day for 2+ weeks during a trek in Nepal so I want to know what I am in for. So far so good. Virtually no break-in period for these boots, good comfort right out of the box (I did put in green superfeet - better arch support). My hiking has been on very well-groomed trails, wet stone, and single-track type trails in the Alps in the summer as well as some basic walking on paved roads. Traction was never an issue. I made a point of standing up to the third eyelet in a freezing glacial-melt stream for about 3 minutes and my feet stayed totally warm and dry. Also although I was wearing thick Smartwool hiking socks my feet were never overheated and they did not get sweaty. While they seem a little heavy in the hand, they are quite light on my feet. No idea about durability or real warmth yet but I hope they are good!

Researched these boots before buying- LOVE them. I've worn them on the AT, Pacific Crest, John Muir and many, many miles of trails in many parks with no hot spots and not a single blister- all while carrying a 35 to 45 lb. pack. I have their full leather version for my uniform boots (park ranger). Wouldn't use any other boots, since I don't want to be stuck out in the wilderness having my feet in bad shape. I'm 50 years old and have been backpacking and worn a lot of boots, and these are the best I've ever owned. Zappos makes it easy to get new pairs when I'm out in areas far away from any store, and its such good service that even when there is a store near by, I still order, sit back and wait for the super fast delivery!

I bought my first pair of these two years ago when I moved to Alaska. Knew my old day hikers wouldn’t cut it here. I have a wider fore foot and narrow heel and these have worked really well for me. I wear a 9 in other shoes and a 9 in this as well (fit well with vary weights of socks). These have really excellent support, especially for the ankle. I roll mine all the time from bad sprains I’ve had previously, but I’ve had no issues with these boots. My first pair is holding up great after two years- I just had to grab another pair to make sure I have a back-up in case they change the fit or go to a different style sometime. The one issue I did have was some heel slippage on up hills after they were really broken in. I put in Superfeet inserts and that took care of it. Also, when my first pair of laces went, I bought a new, thicker pair and that resulted in a ton of blisters. I went back and got a thin pair of laces and everything was back to normal. I’d have never thought lace thickness would matter that much, but it did, so be careful and spare yourself some blisters.

I've now worn these shoes for several hikes and can honestly state that they are great! I have a hard time finding shoes that accommodate my left foot - which I broke over 20 years ago. They'll feel fine in the store and fine for the first couple of miles and then my foot starts hurting. These shoes go the distance. And they are cute!

Best hiking boots. Asolo Stynger is so reliable and gives me very good ankle protection yet so comfortable. It has excellent traction and support. With mid weight hiking socks my usual size fits perfectly. No break in time. No blisters. I love them.\r\nIt\'s hard to find a perfect pair in Manhattan because there are very few good speciality stores for hiking shoes. With Zappos\' free shipping both ways policy I could try a few different pairs without worrying about returning the ones don\'t fit.

Very Best Hiking Boot - These boots can be worn right out of the box. No blisters, no breaking-in time. They wear well, and they look great. Over time the orange color becomes more brown, but I still get compliments on these boots.
Brands I'd also recommend: Any hiking boot by Asolo

I love this boot! This boot feels great on my feet, which are a little wide at the toes and narrow at the heel. The lacing system holds my heel firmly and there is plenty of room in toe box. The boot is sturdy and great for all types of hiking. There was no break in period necessary and I have not gotten any blisters. The only problem I've had is the sole at the toes delaminated from the boot after about 3 hikes! I had to return that pair, but got another pair of the same boots and haven't had that problem. I still love the boots even if the soles delaminate again because they are soooo comfortable! Hopefully, that won't happen. My friend got the same boots and also loves them and she hasn't had any problems with hers.

3 years strong - I live in Montana and these boots are the only shoes I wear after December 1st. I bought them three seasons ago and they still look new. I reseal them every season with a nubuck/suede sealer and my feet have still never gotten wet, even on lengthy hikes and creek crossings. These boots are by far the best investment in footwear I have ever made. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to own the same pair of boots for years, because these will last ya'.
Brands I'd also recommend: Vasque breeze

Asolo Stynger GTX is a good buy - I have only worn them a couple of times but so far so good. The boots seem really durable and they look stylish. The only issue I am having right now is some tightness in the ankle and it is rubbing on the outside of the bones that sticks out the sides. I believe that is because they are not broken in. Good ankle support and toe protection. I have not had them in wet conditions yet but I think they will do very well. I plan to take them hiking in Utah this weekend!

Wonderful! Used them on several day hikes as well as Kilimanjaro. The tiniest hot spot on my heel the first day I wore them, but otherwise comfortable and wonderful.
