The shank in these things is one of the most rigid I've come across so far. I work at a small local outfitter and I've seen my fair share of boots, and these things are rock solid. The soles are also very firm, one of the harder mixes of Vibram rubber.

I think the Lowa's are stiffer and that might be why I think the Asolos might be a good deal more comfortable.

Go for the comfort and waterproofing, you can't beat that, read my review. I own several Asolo boots the sole is a little weak compared to the Banff but the comfort is a lot greater on the 520's
