Asolo screwed up when they changed from the black w/ yellow '94 Expedition. The only change for the better was the use of pulleys which allow you to really crank down and tighten these boots, which you can easily overtighten.

The old model fit perfectly. The new Asoflex-Trifusion model never fit me well. The inner boot was tight and didn't lace up - it used elastic. It had annoying plastic reinforcing which I'm sure has no function inside the shell other than to take up space. These boots were brutal on my shins - very stiff - and squeezed my right foot. I wear a 10.5 D and these boots were too narrow. To top it off, I used them for a season, once a week, and the gusset wore through where it was pinched between the tounge and the boot. If you can wear these comfortably in the store while walking around for two hours, and you want a super-stiff boot, and you have thin feet, and you have $450 laying around, get 'em, otherwise look for something else.
