Reviewed by Chris Jennings, Sep 04, 2004

"The boots were light, comfortable, and I had a great fit right out of the box. But, after about 28 miles on rocky Sierra Nevada trails, the soles (Asolo rubber not Vibram) looked like I had been using them to stop a motorcycle on rough asphalt. I thought that another 28 miles might result in holes in my soles,so I returned with great regret."

"I have mixed feelings about these boots. They are deceptively comfortable out of the box, but I got some nasty heel blisters on my first hike with them (12 miles of moderate trail). I can't take them off trail or on many consecutive days without some hot spots."

"Had an opportunity to use these boots on rocky/medium-rough terrain. In 10 days the soles were so worn through that they developed nice thumb-sized holes.

Otherwise these boots were very comfortable and durable - I guess that the upper would last a decade... if only soles would give them a chance.

Think before buying."

"These boots are definately "Light Hiker" boots. Too start off, my feet are wide. After buying these boots, I had them stretched to fit my foot. Asolo does not recommend this as it compromises the Gore-tex lining. They also mentioned that this boot was not designed for wide feet."

"I looked at many different boots trying to find a lightweight, waterproof boot that was easy on the feet. I have been very happy with these boots, which have given my narrow foot no blisters at all. I have used them on six day hikes in the Southern California mountains."

"Two trips to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and they are not far from needing a new soles. Uppers are showing signs of wear beyond what one would expect for 35 miles of hiking. honestly think a pair of high quality tennis shoes would show less wear and tear."

"These boots are beyond their rated "light hiking" standard. I've done everything from day hikes, climbing three fourteeners in two days, to 4-day backpacking trips in the Grand Canyon and these kick a@#! I have a relatively wide foot and they fit like a glove, also the Asolo tread on the bottom I find much more appealing than the vibram soles you see out there because it tends to not slip on those wet rocks."

"Thirty minutes after I bought these boots, I went and tested them. I was walking on slippery rocks, crossing creeks and hiking some tough trails. The boots are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own, and would recommend them to anyone. The best boot for the price on the market."

"Bought these boots after reading how great they were in Backpacker: light as trail shoes, full-on backpacking support. I have narrow heels and wide forefeet, making all boots, as I read elsewhere, nothing but "blister machines," but the 95'ers are great! Walked 6-7 miles out of the box through vicious terrain in the Oswegatchie River wilderness and ended up without blisters ."
