Customer Reviews Asolo Fugitive GTX

I've used this particular boot for about 7 years, and it's all been stellar up until my last hike. Using my 2nd pair, which had only 14 months of use on them, both toe guards came completely unglued. It was a rough hike through lots of snow and cold temperatures, but I was not expecting such a significant failure. Unfortunately, I have to start over in my search for the perfect hiking boot. I would not trust these again.

The sole detached on these as others have reported. They are very comfortable, supportive and otherwise sturdy.

I tried on this boot in 9.5 medium width in a store. Good support and high quality. (as it should be for $250, but a bit tight in the forefit. Custom ordered a 9.5 Wide. The things that arrived feel like they had grafted a size 7 toe box onto a 9.5 shoe. Totally unwearable. Moral: Don't buy an Asolo unless you can try on the exact pair you plan to buy. And have narrow feet!

The Asolo Fugitive GTX's boots were very comfortable, however the soles came unglued after very mild use. This indicates use of poor materials or poor workmanship. The rest of the boot is in good shape. Asolo refused to do anything about it.

The first time I took these boots out on a short hike, the part of the sole that comes from under the shoe and wraps up over the toe, broke loose. This causes the boot to not be waterproof anymore. Anytime i see someone else with the same shoe, it bears the same defect. Zappos, when I called to replace the shoes, told me that I could expect a pair of shoes to last only six months - this one lasted about 4 hours. Disappointing - don't waste your time. Buy hiking boots instead.
