Conventional boot...streamlined.

By Jormar6 Ranked #626 - Men's Backpacking Boots June 26, 2009

With all of the lightweight products out there why would anyone choose a heavy-duty backpacking boot over the lowtop trail runners/boot hybrids out there? Well, if your like me there is something about a rock solid pair of boots that just appeals to you. Asolo has taken the very best things about a tough waterproof full-grain leather boot and trimmed all that fat. I can't say enough about the triple structure sole construction which make this boot more comfortable than my favorite pair of sneakers. But besides this they make for ultimate shock absorbtion and have super grippyness. These boots are anything but clunky and have excellent ankle support which is a big deal for me because my ankles tend to roll hiking downhill. One thing though, in the summer the full grain leather can tend to make the feet a litte hot but not totally unbearable. I docked it one star because they don't have the power matic lacing system, but other than that these boots are awesome.
