Best boot I have ever worn, gone through 2 pairs now, worth every penny, excellent support, very tough, good protection in shop, studio, and out in mother nature.

I've owned my pair for two years and they are great. The break in with leather takes a little longer. On the way back from a hike, I waded knee deep in the Pacific then walked about a half mile back to the car. That seemed to speed things up (just a suggestion). They're tough and comfortable. Yes, I'd recommend them to a friend.

3 years and I have many miles and memories with them. They have held up better than any other shoe I have ever owned. The sole is finally wearing through but after... how many hundreds of miles? Many dozens of backpacking trips? These boots are amazing. The people at Asolo are great too! Friendly people! After owning a pair of these boots you will never buy anything but Asolo again!

Brands I'd also recommend: Chaccos for wet days, Keens for "office" days.

As a person of size, I need good shoes. I wear these for 12-18 months with only minimal wear. This is my 3rd pair, I only have great things to say. The pedometer said I had 950 miles on my first pair (on and off road walking). I wear these daily and have no complaints or criticisms at all.

Brands I'd also recommend: None. They are the best.

This has been a bad winter and I'm glad I purchased these boots. So far so good. They're warm, comfortable, waterproof and look great. What more can you ask for?

These are hands down the best hiking boot I have ever worn. I thought they would be uncomfortable and require extensive break in. I took them out of the box put them on and they were super comfortable. I wear them every day just for knocking around.

After reading many reviews on many websites, I ordered these for my husband and another for myself. We're training for a trek to Machu Picchu in May and have already begun wearing them. One word: perfect!

Good, comfortable and stable shoe with about 35lb backpack (and without it). I took it for a test drive on different North West trails and it worked will in each and every scenario. It's worth noting that this shoe felt good out of the box and didn't require any sort of break-in. I just put them on, tested them on a wet 5 mile hike and it was perfect with no worries. I like the fact that these shoes kept my feet warm but not hot. I went hiking in upper 30's weather and I was surprised at the comfort level and lack of cold/hot variations. It was just comfortable. It worked well on rough terrain, slippery mud and stony trails. Long and short hikes offered the same level of comfort. It gripped the ground well and supported my feet and ankles. It kept water out but let heat and moisture out, to maintain a nice dry interior. I could feel heat coming out of the shoe, by laying my hand on it, so it works as advertised in this area too. When I got back to the car, I switched shirts because the base layer and shirt were wet, but the shoes were still comfy. After driving for a while, I realized that I didn't feel the shoes--it felt as if I were driving with socks and that was a great bonus. Finally, the hard soles aren't suitable for daily wear, but given the 'out-of-box' fit, they are ready to go 'as is'. These are expensive but in my mind well worth the investment. They are well built and I expect them to last for years. Last but not least--I looked for a 5 start shoes and thanks to the great Zappos feedback system, I was able to find it on my initial order. I'm very pleased with the Zappos service and fast shipping. If you buy here you can expect a superior product and fast shipping.

Looks, comfort, and support are critical for my uses. I am very impressed with the stability while walking over uneven terrain. With cheaper shoes I experienced minor calcium accretion on my heel, perhaps related to my more advanced age. I also noted a substantial improvement in knee and hip aches after a day of walking in my Asolo boots. I would prefer slightly more heel cushion but not enough to drop my rating as additional cushion would decrease ankle roll resistance. In summary, I am extremely pleased with my purchase of the Asolo TPS 520 GV.

This boot has great support and broke in much quicker than I expected. As usual Zappos had it to me earlier than expected for my hiking trip.

I normally wear shoes in a women\'s size 7.5 or 8 EE width. I had trouble finding a women\'s hiking boot that was wide enough in the toe but not too large overall. The wide women\'s Asolos were not wide enough - nor were boots in several other brands. The men\'s Asolo in a 7D - considered Medium for men - was the perfect solution. It\'s comfortably wide in the toe area and fits well overall. I broke these in for a few 1 mile walks, then went on a 4 mile steep hike with no problems at all. These boots offer great comfort and support.

By far the most comfortable hiking boot I have ever owned. Even straight out of the box there was absolutely no problem with blisters or pain. After break-in they are fabulous; the footbed has molded nicely and the leather is ideal. I have taken these boots to The Tetons, the Alps in Germany and the Inca Trail in Peru and I would not think of going on an outdoor vacation without them. The sole is lasting pretty well, only minor wear after 1 year. The leather cleans up very nicely, after hiking through the Andes for a week, I had them cleaned and shined at the airport and then worn them to dinner looking like new. A great purchase!

Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten. I purchased these boots for my husband after a great deal of research. He is a volunteer and helps maintain the Appalachian and the Mountain to Sea Trails. He gives these boots a great deal of rugged trail work climbing up and over granite boulders, downed trees, knee deep mud, water, snow and ice. He often uses orthotics however these boots provide tremendous support, so much so, that their use is not necessary. Please feel confident that you have just purchased the best boots for any heavy duty work you are planning. You will find these boots to be as comfortable as they are durable.

After wearing these boots for a couple of days, I have to say that I have not had a more comfortable boot from the get go. I have had very little soreness in the foot and they provide a very stable base to walk from. I have a semi-low arch and narrower than normal foot. The boots fit tightly around the ankle and lower leg and they leave ample room for the toes. So far I am extremely happy with the purchase!

I bought my boots in July and after several days of local walking I did 20 days of trekking in October in the Himalayas (primarily the Everest Circuit). I could not be more pleased with the results: my feet stayed warm and dry, but never hot; I walked on wet steps and wet rocks and rarely slipped, never falling; no blisters or discomfort of any kind. I did buy and wear a boot a half size larger than I normally wear, and it was perfect. I also have a very narrow foot, but could lace the boot snugly. I did add a good quality insert with a special arch pad. Now I am back home and I wear them every day. My wife even says they look nice.
