Good boot - once broken in

By Badger Ranked #753 - Men's Hiking Boots October 19, 2009

I have owned these about a year now. I had wanted another pair of Asolo because I loved the last pair so much. They were definitely stiff to start off with and I wore them around the house a lot to break them in. My first hike in them was about an hour (half uphill, half down) and I got the worst blisters on the backs of my heels. After recovering, I wore them as much as possible on short hikes and walks and eventually broke them in - now they fit like a glove. Wore them all winter for hiking and snowshoeing. Always kept my feet warm and dry and comfortable. Didn't like the color at first but it grew on me. I was a bit disappointed that they don't have vibram soles, but I have not noticed any traction problems that others have mentioned. If you don't mind taking the time to break them in they are a good boot.
