"Watch the location of the eyelets! -- possible pressure point!
I had to return these boots after wearing them for a short while; the eyelet closest to the toe created an unbearable pressure point on the "knuckle" of my left big toe.
Before you write me off as a fool who doesn't know how to buy a pair of boots, let me assure you that I wore the right socks, tried on several pairs, two sizes of this boot, and walked up and down the simulated terrain at the store."

"I have had my boots for 8-9 years and I have never wanted another pair. I have hiked all over the world with them. The tread is almost completely warn down at this point even though the rest of the boot looks only a year or so old. Now I am in search for another pair just like these."

"I like everything about them, but I'm going to agree with others that they are very difficult to break in. I've gone to the tops of two 14ers and a couple other strenuous hikes and they still give me a blister on my right heel. It's slowly getting better, but they're still pretty stiff."

"I've worn out two pair of these boots to the point the soles are gone and side stitching giving in. I hike Hells Canyon and similar terrain for days on end off trail with ultralight gear (30 lbs) during four seasons. These are lightweight but have the stiffness needed for side-hilling for multiple days in the steep and rough."

"These boots have a somewhat narrow fit, especially around the ball of the foot. They felt comfortable at first and did well on most terrain types. My main issues are that they are quite hard under foot, especially the front of the foot. The Vasque Clarions that I used to have felt like walking on clouds compared to these."

"I've used a pair of these for day hiking in the high mountains around Frisco, CO, for the last three years and I'd rate them as one of the most comfortable hiking boots I've owned. Good support, and the footbed is really comfortable.
I have to agree with others that, while grippy, the soles are fairly soft and will wear quickly on rocky terrain."

"These are GREAT boots. Over the years I have tried a number of boots that try to combine light weight with good support and stability -- these are by far the best.
I've had my pair for four years, hiking with moderate packs, logging lots of miles in the southern Arizona deserts and the Adirondacks high peaks."

"Overall these boots are great. I just got back from Philmont, New Mexico, and we were out in the backcountry for 12 days doing up to 12 miles a day. Pretty much switchbacks like the whole way, it was tough. I was carying an average of about 50lbs."

"Prior to purchasing my new boots I read quite a few reviews. Most of the reviewers stated that the boots felt broken in the first time out and that they were the most comfortable boot they have ever worn. I must disagree. I have walked/hiked a total of about 25 miles in them and they still are not broken in."

"I have difficult feet to fit, but overall these boots have been very satisfactory. My biggest complaint is with what I believe to be abnormal sole wear. I hike in areas where I need good traction and the Asolo does not have the tread I would like or have had with other boots."

"Picked these up at REI. Wore them one time on the Pacific Crest Trail for about 20 miles of both on- and off-trail hiking (45 lb pack on trail). Despite what I thought was a great fit, these blistered my heels badly. Even through wool socks and mole skin pads."

"I hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2003 in these boots and from Georgia to Maine they gave me excellent support. I went through two pairs on the hike and got about 1100 miles per pair before replacing. Even with all the rain we had that year and hiking in wet boots day after day in many cases I only had one blister."

"Excellent for dayhiking and weekend outings under light to moderate loads. Warning, these are not backpacking boots as often advertised. Simply, not enough cushion for longer distances under moderate to heavy loads. Also, be prepared to have them re-soled as soft soles tend to quickly become tread-less and slick."

"My first hike in these boots, an-8 miler, I rubbed the skin off of my feet and could only wear flip-flops for like a month. After that month, I put these puppies back on and they fit like a pair o' socks. I have to say that these are one of two pairs of shoes which I consider to be my favorites."

"I've had these boots for two years. Wore them for a moderate 6-miler right from the box, no problem. Hiked/scrambled to the summit of Mt. St. Helens, feet felt great. Hiked Mtns in Tennessee during 95 degree days, feet did not overheat, hiked through the snow in Northeast Ohio, feet stayed dry and warm. Maximum pack weight for these dayhikes, 25 pounds. A great boot,"
