Asolo FSN 95 GTX Hiking Boot - Men's

Item #ASO0030 | 8 in Stock
3 Star Rating

If you like blisters and poor traction...

By Ranked #684 - Men's Hiking Boots August 21, 2009

GET THIS BOOT!! Ok, not really terrible but for almost $200 bucks, I expect a decent hiker. These boots are not consistently made - you would not believe the variations between my right and left boot! So far waterproof and no split seams with 250 plus miles. Really contemplating on sending them back though as they offer poor traction and are not all that comfortable for as stiff as they are.

On another note, for being stiff, they offer poor stability when climbing and your whole foot is not firmly planted. Previously had a pair of Asolo 520 - and in less then 2 months they de-laminated. I am almost afraid to give Asolo another shot even though I really want to try the Fugitive.
