User Review: Asolo Men's TPS 535

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $190

Summary

Next to your eyes, you feet are the most important. Don’t skip on weight here, pay the $ now or pay the price later.

Pros

  • Indestructible
  • Unbeatable support
  • You will wear them for non-hiking activities

Cons

  • Shoe laces need to be cords.
  • So great I wear down the soles

I don’t “buy” the Ultra-Light Hiking thing; I do however invest in and choose with consequences, keeping in mind the “suffer on the trail” vs. “suffer at the campsite”.  Before, I used to take off my boats and switch to my campsite sandals before river crossings, after watching my friend cross with his Asolo’s,  I never wore anything else (2 pairs over 20 years).

I can tell alot about people in the non-hiking world with the shoes they are wearing. The same goes when I see people hiking, they all have different personalities, styles, and packs I cant see into. With 1 look at their shoes, unless they are wearing levies, if they have Asolos on, I dont need to second guess everything else they are talking about.
