Customer Reviews Asolo Fugitive GTX

Best thing I have ever worn on my feet -

Excellent ! This Asolo's Fugitive Hiking Boots looks and feel really good. I love it; especially for long walks. You should buy a pair , you will love it.

Asolo Fugitive GTX - I took up backpacking a while back and since I live in North Carolina there are endless opportunities -- especially along the Appalachian Trail. I read all the reviews and did my homework before settling on these boots. From the minute I tried them on, though, I knew they were right for me. Zero break-in time and they really lend a feeling of security. They draw attention so if you don't like people asking about your boots and where you got them, try something else. Just kidding -- These are great. Do yourself a big favor and pick up a pair. I normally wear a 10.5 (US) but 10 was perfect in the Asolo's. Never stop exploring!

This boot fits like a sock and I would recommend it to anybody absolutely brilliant!

These are great shoes. I'm on my feet all day as a dog walker and need a good sturdy warm boot that can handle the concrete of NYC. I would recomend these shoes. If you have wide feet though, they may be too tight. For me though the fit was perfect.

I have worn Asolo boots for the past 15 years or so and have always found them to be well made and comfortable. I was sad to see that upon putting these on my feet, Asolo has changed their last significantly and they no longer fit my foot shape. I am sending these back, although I must say they look, as always, well-built. If they fit your foot (narrow across the metatarsels for me) I imagine you will love this boot.

Excellent product & service - Zappos is the premier shoe shoe source on the net! They ship very fast and the prices are very competitive!

The best shoe for this kind of job ever!!! 110% the best

Top notch - These are light as tennis shoes, and just as comfortable. I get many compliments on the look. All around 5 star. Zappos service is second to none. Thanks

Bullet Proof - Got them for a very cold 2 week shoot on the Monterey Peninsula. Freezing ocean, rugged terrain along the coast, freezing mornings up at sunrise, sand, Helicopter, 12 days of shooting sunrise to sunset these things never came off my feet. I love them. I am destructive and brutal to my shoes on a shoot and saw these in a retail store... didn't have my size - ordered them online, got next day delivery, service was great. I am a toe-dragging, ankle twister too and these shoes frankly still look new. They are firm, which once you get used to, you come to rely on... I was wedging my foot into rocks on the shore to get a shot...stuff like that... the boot is a great boot. I am thinking of getting another pair before they change the color.

Surprisingly Comfortable! Not to add much to the reviews that are already here, but the boots are very comfortable. There was zero break-in time.

Perfect boot - This is a perfect all around boot light and agile.

Best hiking boot I've ever owned or wore.

Perfect shoe, for good price -

I have always worn size 9 US but have been feeling like I need to go up a size and after consulting with other men my age decided to try size 10. I liked the Asolo Fugitive and will probably buy a pair. It felt good overall, material, size, comfort. I sent those back because I think I want another color.

Good light day hike boot! Nice day hiking boot. Pretty comfortable. If you are used to sizes from American brands, go about a half size to one size smaller for the Asolo’s.

Bit narrow fit but a well designed shoe and good support.

I bought this boot for moderate hiking and backpacking, hoping to find something a bit more rugged than the Keen offerings that would still fit my very wide foot. It seems well made and rugged, but I had to send it back because even the wide version was too narrow.

These are probably great boots for those with narrow feet, but if your feet are even moderately wide, proceed with caution. I bought size 9 wide, and while the length is correct and the ankle support terrific, the toe box is very constricted and cramps the toes. I've worn the boots for over a month now, all the time trying to convince myself it's just a matter of breaking them in, but my toes keep barking for more room.

I've worn this boot a lot now and my only complaint is that there is no cushioning in the sole. After a few hours of hiking, my feet felt battered--not something I've felt with my older boots. Seems quite absurd that an expensive MSRP boot requires the customer to go and buy cushion inserts.

Short on longevity - I loved this boot from the moment I put it on. I have narrow feet and a high instep and they fit perfect. I work in maintenance at a climate controlled plant (40*F) and my boots work great. They are very waterproof also. Only one defect...after 8 months the soles cracked right under the "Asolo" name and the rubber toe bumper is starting to come off. It would be a perfect boot if only it lasted a little longer

Great Boot With Fatal Flaw - I love these boots, with one caveat. The fit and comfort are awesome, requiring no break-in at all. They look great and have good traction. The downside is the waterproofness, or lack thereof. My first pair leaked like a sieve, and I had to bring them back to the dealer for a replacement pair. My last trip was through some wet snow, lower than the top of the boot, and I arrived in camp with cold wet feet! Inexcusable. I looked closely at the stitching and saw two places on the long horizontal seam running from the toe to the heel that had separated, allowing water to gain access. I was very disappointed in a boot that is awesome in all other aspects, but comes up short in the most important one. I will be bringing these back and choosing another boot. Don't want to have another trip ruined by a defective boot. Buyer beware.

Just OK - Cup for heel locks you in. Right tongue flap rubs my right inside ankle joint for some reason - no cushioning.

Just DON'T. Asolo boots have a manufacturing defect: they completely fall apart, and Asolo does not make good on them. Like so many other customers, I spent the extra money on Asolo boots based on their excellent reputation on so many hiking related forums. I should have done more research on the retail websites before investing in these expensive boots. Do your research, buy something else. Don't buy Asolo boots because: 1. They have a defect in the way the soles are attached to the boots, leading to catastrophic failure at the worst times, and 2. you don't want to do business with a company that will not acknowledge, and make right, their mistakes. Caveat Emptor indeed!

I have had 3 pairs of Fufitive GTX and one GV Evo. I LOVED these boots until ALL lost their soles. I am easy on my shoes and they will last several years BUT apparently Asolo has a built-in product end of life mechanism that causes sole de-lamination. Just noticed the GV Evos (still like new inside and out) are both losing the sole at the heel. NEVER GOING TO BUY ANOTHER ASOLO!
