Asolo Falcon GV Hiking Boot - Men's
Falcon GV Hiking Boot
The Asolo Men's Falcon GV Hiking Boot grips slippery stones and tree roots like a bird of prey clinging to its hearty fish of the day. Its Vibram rubber sole consists of a Megagrip compound that assures grip on slick terrain. Asolo also outfitted the Falcon with a waterproof Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane with amplified breathability properties ideal for summer hikes. Expect seasons of use out of this boot, because its strong suede upper has a TPU toe cap for reinforced durability.

WARNING!!! Like most people say, these boots are comfortable right out of the box. Here is the main issue: The treads are HOLLOW! Once you wear off half the tread, holes will form because they are HOLLOW! It basically halves the life of the boots and is very disappointing for a $225 shoe. I brought this to the attention of Scott at Asolo who after looking at this picture had this to say "The soles are not hollow, the holes are the result of some outside force." So denying reality is their company policy.

Hiking boots have come a long way since i first started wearing them more than 40 years ago and these boots are the pinnacle of those 40 years of development. Light, rugged, protects well, looks good (I got the grey and red), laces well and they stay tied! I thought they may need some breaking in so i took them on a two-mile hike when i first got them and it was unnecessary--they feel good right out of the box. The only slight negative about these boots could be that they get hot in warm weather, but what hiking boot doesn't? I wear these boots everywhere with cargo shorts. Highly recommended and worth the price.

For the past ten or so years I’ve lived in my Asolo GTX Fugitives most of the time, except when very warm, and worn Merrill Ventilators when it was too hot for such vortex lined boot. Unfortunately the Ventilators felt too flexible, and although comfortable, not supportive enough. When I saw an add for the Falcon it was described as exactly what I was looking for: a lightweight, waterproof, supportive alternative to the Fugitive. Perfect! So far I’ve had them for about two months and have taken them on 3-5 mile hikes, mostly light trails and paths with light packs, three or four times a week. They were comfortable right out of the box, slightly tighter than the Fugitives; so requiring a thinner sock (REIs Smartwool lightweight hikers work perfectly), but fit well with the quick adjusting laces which lock into the boots top cleats and make donning on and off super fast and easy. I can’t comment on their durability, although so far I’ve had no problems; seams have remained intact and streams have not soaked through any parts of the boots. The soles still look new, and have provided excellent gripping on all types of surfaces. Only time will tell how long they last. Visually, they take some getting used to- they’re kind of a cross between bowling shoes and Batman boots, but then again so are the original GTXs.

These are absolutely amazing. I buy more shoes and clothes that I return most of the time but right out of the box it was WOW... I'm keeping these! Extremely comfortable. I also purchased the Fugitives and had them on side by side. Significantly lighter but not as rigid. My previous Fugitives lasted 10 years and were a regular width and took a long time to break in. I opted for a wide on those which were much better but stayed with a regular width on the Falcon's and they're perfect. Very happy with these.

I purchased these shoes 60 days out for my hiking trip in South America. Haven't gone yet but I wanted them broken in. I have them in my office and wear them each day. Last week I took them to Ashville and wore them everyday for 4 days. They do need to be broken in for full comfort. They are lightweight, well made and becoming very comfortable. I looked at a lot of different shoes and read a number of different reviews before I settled on these shoes. I have no regrets and I am sure they will be a great fit on my trip.
