Customer Reviews Asolo Stynger GTX®

This boot provides great support for your feet and ankles. I put in insoles with a metatarsal support in provide the comfort I need. The boot accommodated the insole perfectly. I would recommend this boot. Plus I loved the color!

I've had these boots for about 5 years. Wore them up Kilimanjaro and Mt. Kenya, and through the Helambu teahouse circuit in Nepal. More mundanely, wear them on flights to save space in my luggage, and have hiked my favorite trails in Shenandoah with them. I am still of two minds about them. First, they're heavy, and blockish. They are good for my flat, wide feet, and fit out of the box, but they significantly decrease my agility, and the sole material is so slippery I started relying on trekking poles for downhill stretches. Not even when it's wet - these soles will slide off smooth rocks! Secondly, the right boot is falling apart, with the "nose guard" falling off - guess the glue has broken down - and the sole breaking away from the upper. It's very VERY hard to find a solid women's shoe that's in a fun color (not pink or blue or purple yawn) and fits small heels. But I'm not going to buy Asolos again, because it would be nice to bomb down a trail confident I won't fall over teakettle, rather than picking my way like a dainty unicorn.

These are not a true red as they look in the photo online. They are very much a brick red They also feel very clunky on.

I loved the look. I Have loved Asolos 10 years. I am disappointed. These are too narrow in the foot, after sizing up. I returned them.

I bought a pair of Asolo Stynger GTX boots under 5 years ago with the intention of them lasting me 10-15 years (at full price that is what most stores will tell you with a quality hiking boot). No sooner had they broken in (about a year after I bought them--after the warranty for Asolo at the time) than the sole started peeling from the boot. It was really small at first so I didn't think much of it, but apparently it was large enough for the material inside the boot to start degrading. The soles fell off on both boots about 6 months ago. This would have been fine, had Asolo taken responsibility for their product. But they don't. They offered me a one time resoling for my shoe but the cobbler said it was beyond repair. The best they could do after that was offer me a 20% discount on a new pair of boots (after I had spent money to send my boots to the cobbler). Terrible quality and even worse customer care and response. I will never buy Asolos again.
