Had these boots for a little over a year now. Broke them in fairly easy for a stiff boot. For the price you expect a lot from this product. The roller lace system is a nice…

I have been backpacking since 1975 and found the perfect boot for me 15 years ago, the Asolo 535. I then migrated to the Asolo 520 and Powermatic. I regret ever trending awa…

Great boots! I use them in the snow and no snow has ever entered inside the boot(without "weather-proofing"). Also use them hiking and they are excellent on that terrain as we…

The Asolo Men's Fugitive GTX Boot is a great boot for the approach and traveling miles of trail. They stick well to rock wet or dry. They also provide comfort and support.…

The fit is true to size, and they conform well to my feet. As long as our feet are about the same shape you won't have any problems. The day I got these I took a not-so-quick…

Overall I'm happy with my Scarpas. They're warm, comfy enough, and solid. I feel the liners leave something to be desired. A little more padding under the foot may lead to…

The greatness with these boots is that while they have a full metal shank, they also have a bit of "rocker" built in. So that means it's not like walking on a pair of ski-boo…

You need to hump about 20-30 miles in them before getting serious. You need to break them in and they need to break you in a little; but once you do, you'll have a footgasm ea…
