Hard to find size -
After visiting 7 sports, hiking and recreational stores. (And 50 websites) I was still unable to find the Asolo hiking boot in my size. I measure at a 4.5. Every store and website carried the boot in a 6 as the smallest size. Until a friend suggested Zappos. They had the boot in a 5 and it fits perfect. I spent the week breaking them in. They are a very stiff boot. My ankle bone was very sore and bruised but I worked through the pain. After about a week, the boot fit like a glove and is very comfortable. I haven't done any serious hiking yet, but I don’t expect any problems as a friend of mine swears by this brand. I am doing another section of the Appalachian Trail this summer and I think this boot will offer the support I need for carrying a heavy load.

As comfortable as slippers -
I have the worst feet to fit: wide forefoot because of bunions and narrow-ish heels. I am also an over-pronater with a high arch. I need lots of support. Also, have sensitive soles and a neuroma. I need a somewhat rigid and thick sole on my boot. I have yet to test these boots in rocky upstate NY - on trail and off trail. So far I've worn them an ENTIRE day around the neighborhood. I was in no hurry to take them off at the end of the day. Really comfortable. I normally wear a 10 in a dress shoe, but I've found I need to go up a size in hikers. I think this pair will work out nicely for me.

I LOVE these boots. I have problem feet – left foot a size smaller than my right foot, narrow feet, high arches and weak ankles. So you can imagine that finding the right boot is not easy. These give enough support for my ankles, fit as tailor made on my narrow ski-shaped feet, and both my feet are very happy, even after hours of walking. After a year of regular use I've only had one blister (on my heel) unavoidable with my weird-sized feet. I can't recommend them enough, I hope they last forever!!!

Great boot -
I bought these boots in the dead of winter and find they provide great traction on icy city sidewalks. Clomped around in snow and feet stayed dry and very warm. Provide tons of support. These boots are a bit on the heavy side and I hope they won't feel too hot in summer. No break-in time necessary. Extraordinarily comfortable. Good if you have a narrow heel and wide toe. I bought these after my Asolo 530 boots gave out - I can't complain since I used them heavily for 15 years and walked hundreds of trail miles. I knew I'd be buying Asolo’s again and wrote the company to ask which boots had the most similar fit to the now-discontinued 530's, and they recommended the 535's. I am very pleased with my purchase and look forward to hitting the trails this summer.

Great leather hiking boot -
I bought this boot for hiking in cool and wet conditions since I dearly love my Asolo Stynger GTX boots in drier weather. They have the same grin inspiring fit. If you have narrow feet, try them on...you'll grin. I have hiked all over in them, and don't suffer from tired, sore feet at the end of the day. While the leather became a lot more comfortable after it broke in, they never hurt, and I've never had a blister wearing them. (Wearing sock liners and lightweight wool hiking socks ended blisters for me). I have lower back troubles, but these boots are supportive and don't feel like weights on my feet, even though they're pretty substantial. I find I end up wearing them around town when I need a nice, solid shoe, and my back and feet stay happy. I've gotten a lot of compliments on them. One note: when they were new, they tended to pull my socks down. After a couple day hikes, they softened and it stopped.

Superb Boot -
Took this boot on a 32 day backpacking trip in the Willmore Wilderness near Jasper in Alberta. I didn't even have to break these boots in! Didn't get a single blister, any rubbing-ANYTHING! These boots provide amazing support! My ankles fared remarkably well considered our days out.
Only suggest that if you have the money, purchase the Gore-tex waterproof ones. I put a waterproof coating on these which worked okay, but walking in wet boots-no matter how nice they are, for 20 days can drag you down!

Be sure to examine all views of shoes before purchasing -
This shoe is stiff and probably shouldn't be worn by people with lower back and/or specific gait problems. I am an over-supinator. I think this shoe was designed for over-pronators (See back view--I wasn't aware that heels like this existed, so I didn't check out back view before ordering).
This shoe aggravated my SI joint disfunction, etc. My chiropractor said that this shoe doesn't have enough "give."

Fabulous boots so far-
I have only owned these for a few weeks but have worn them on several hikes, and as a general outdoor/work boot. I did not find them too stiff, but I do like a boot that gives good ankle support. I just found them very comfortable... but I wasn't expecting a sneaker either. They are incredibly nice-looking... a very attractive shape which happens to be much more comfortable than those spoon-shaped boots which claim to accommodate wider feet, while giving you blisters because your toes splay out with every step. The width here is built in around the level of your pinky toe, and then the boots taper toward the end. And they make you feel quite tall, which I like. I checked that the boot felt wider than marked, mainly because I normally have to order up to get a good fit, but I didn't this time.

Great boot.
I love this boot. I found that they broke in really quickly, and were comfortable from the first step. They give plenty of support, waterproof well, and are extremely versatile. They're a steal for 100 bucks!

Asolo 535 V -
Great boot. Sizing appears to be standard. I wear a 5.5 womens and they fit like a 5.5. They're comfy, warm, and I think, farily light weight. They wear well all day-no foot fatigue. I highly recommend, and the price was great to boot (no pun intended)!

Asolo 535 -
The Asolo 535 is a nice shoe for the money. I think it runs true to size. It's a nice stiff boot that would lend plenty of support. You will need some break-in time to hike/backpack though. The only reason I cannot use them is I have wide duck feet and these are for normal width feet. If my feet fell within the normal range, I would wear them all of the time.

I normally like Asolos, but I HATE these. The ankle was so stiff that as I walked and it hit my lower calf, it built a knot--so painful, that I was better off wearing little trail hikers despite my 80+ bag. I've worn heavy-duty boots before, mostly ones compatable w/crampons, but I thought I'd do well with a heavier packing boot as I'd be guiding in the summer. WRONG! my mid-weights are just fine, the footbed and toe box are comfortable...the boot is extremely stiff. If you need a lot of support, (I found out from my doctor and PT that I don't require it) then this is it, if not, you can find better. I think they make Asolo's in general fit a womans foot well, the heel cup is cut perfectly for a medium sized foot and on through the rest of the shoe...not sure how wide feet would do, but narrows should have no prob.
