A good little boot

By Grant November 23, 2009

I have had a pair of these boots for a few years now. I needed a waterproof boot for Hood so I grabbed a pair of these from a garage sale. I have many freinds and acquaintances who us this boot. They do everything from mountaineering to snowshoe in them. It is probably my favorite mid-weight boot.

These are a mid-weight hiking boot. They are not a full on back packing boot and they are not a light hiker. They are designed to fill that niche in between. It not meant to be used if you are bounding out mile after mile with an 75lb pack and it will probably be overkill if you are just doing day hikes.

They put a pinch in the lace fastener after the last eyelet so you can get different tensions on the upper and lower parts of the boot. A very cool feature.

Remember when it comes to blisters and boots. Boots are made on different lasts and all our feet are different. Asolo may just not be the right last for you. One person the boot fits great another the boot will not. Just keep this in mind when trying on boots.
