solid shoe again

By sundaymtn Ranked #1230 - Men's Hiking Shoes November 12, 2007

I owned a pair of asolo's while building a house and they stood up to a lot of abuse, but lasted 3 years before they essentially tore from the inside out. I ran across the same model in a popular discount catalog for 40 bucks and bought them again. That shoe is now retired so switching models to the light hiker for this purchase was a gamble, but true to form, the asolo sole materials and their transition to the upper is just as sturdy as the retired hikers. the toe box area is not only supported by the trademark toe grip that seems to adorn all asolo's but there's three layers of material stitched together in the front - you really feel like you're lacing yourself too something when you put these on. Combine that with a firm heel cup and waterproof breathable fabric and here's another pair of shoes I'll have for a long time.
the red/grey combo comes off looking somewhat like a bowling shoe, maybe its the light grey sole - dunno, still like it though.
