Asolo TPS 535 V SKU #7134392(View on Zappos.com Classic)

Supportive improvement over my sundowners - Great hiking boots, excellent materials, good arch support (always an issue for me). They are much sturdier than my trusty sundowners.

Perfect right out of the box - A solid, sturdy, supportive boot that’s extremely comfortable...I didn't want to take them off...The 10.5 fits like an 11 which was what I had read in other reviews and it was true...I'm usually an 11 but went with the 10.5s and they are perfect. I love the look. Overall, I couldn't be happier.

Asolo TPS 535 V - I was impressed with the construction and fit. Very good arch support. Extremely comfortable boot. Unfortunately, a bit narrow for my foot, and wide was not available.

Best boots Ever- I bought these for my boyfriend because his other hiking boots gave him monster blisters. Now he won't take the Asolo's off. He wears them everyday and would probably wear them everywhere including the shower if he could. I have a pair of my own and I love them. If your boots give you blisters, you need to get these. They are awesome!

Great boot - I wore these boots for the first time hiking up Mt. Lassen and they performed wonderfully without any breakin. They're tough enough that they won't break down like a day hiker would, yet light enough to wear on a day hike. I got mine a 1/2 size larger than I normally would and they are perfect. Outstanding stability and traction, and the uppers are very comfortable and pliable for how sturdy and protective they are. My only criticism would be that more of a toe guard would be nice since I've scraped the leather on the toes a bit on stones, etc., but this is minor and I certainly wouldn't reject them because of that. No need for Goretex, though. I just put Grangers on mine and they're fine. I'd recommend this boot without reservation, but I'm not sure they'd work for someone with a wide foot.

Stands above the rest - These boots start off stiff like hiking boots should and slowly for to your feet while breaking in. I wore mine several times a week for things such as teaching in the classroom, riding my mountain bike and just all around walking. I took these boots up Mount Fuji after one month of wear and they were superior to any boot I have hiked in. Best looking boot on the market. Great for all types of hiking. Haven't tried in cold weather yet, but for summer time, they are excellent.

Another superb Asolo product. Another home run for Asolo. For 15 years, I've been using Asolo products and have yet to be disappointed. The TPS 535 is no exception. Superb quality, light, and just the right amount of stiffness to provide excellent support for either day hikes or multi-day backpacking trips. As usual, the Cambrelle lining makes for great ventilation but the boot performs just as well in moderately cold climates. Water resistance was actually far greater than I expected. Right after purchasing them, I went on 4 day trip up around the Bishop area, slogging through some marshlands where my boots were submerged ankle deep in water and mud. Not one drop made it's way in. Pretty awesome! The sole looks far bulkier than it feels but provides superb grip on various types of terrain and when the going gets sloppy, they do a great job of shedding mud. There is a nice springy feel to it and the Aso Brake worked wonders on descents. PLEASE NOTE: Contrary to what was stated by other reviewers, break in period varies greatly according to your foot, not the boot. For me, there was no break in period. Every Asolo boot I've ever purchased was used on a hike right out of the box. Sure, quite risky but it's certainly quite a testament to the consistently high quality Asolo puts into their products. I also noticed another bit of misinformation from some of these reviews. With regards to the US size listed on the boot, as is typical with European shoes, Asolos run larger than indicated. In other words, if you wear 10.5 US-try the shoes labeled 10, NOT the other way around as previously indicated. Has been this way as long as I can remember. Bottom line, if you want a solid, relatively light boot that can handle pretty much anything you can though at it, get these boots NOW!!!

What a great boot. Just received them today. Instantly good fit. Just the right stiffness of sole (fairly stiff). Very sharp looking. Plenty of ankle support, in fact, I thought the boots were a little bulky with padding up on the ankles, but they snug nicely. They look smaller than my Zamberlans, but my size (9) fits perfectly. I will report again after 100 miles. PS: Zappos rocks. Extremely fast and hassle-free service! Thanks, -Adam (Cambridge, WI)

Wonderful! This is the 2nd time we have ordered the same boot and saved money. My husband loves them so much we ordered 2 pair this time. You are fast, and saved us the time it would take to shop locally for the best possible price which is still more expensive then you! Thanks!

Buy These Boots - The Asolo TPS 535 V is quite simply the BEST boot I have ever owned. I had been wearing Merrel boots for most of my adult life until they started manufacturing them in China. I believe most if not all of the Asolo boots are manufactured in Romania. Be prepared to get a lot of comments from people because these boots are visually STUNNING. Kudos to Zappos for free express shipping and saving me nearly $30 over REI.
