Great boots. Had a rivet pop and sent boot back to Asolo and they fixed it quickly, free of charge, and they even paid for return postage. (Nice to see)

Here in Canada I put at least 5km on them per day, rain or shine, and yes, in winter as well. They are holding up very well. Just as sturdy as day one. Grip is excellent and leather uppers give great support. Only drawback is rather thick sole, feels a little 'chunky' when doing a lot of ascending and descending. Better than too thin though.

A thin merino wool sock is about all you need on the inside.

All in all it's an awesome boot. Approx. 1.5 yrs. on them and they are still waterproof, comfy and I would never trade them, even for a 2-4 after 3 weeks in the bush !

Cheers
