If there is only one piece of gear I could save from a fire, it would be by Asolo boots. I have hiked hundreds of miles in these boots, and they are built to last. They have…

I have been backpacking since 1975 and found the perfect boot for me 15 years ago, the Asolo 535. I then migrated to the Asolo 520 and Powermatic. I regret ever trending awa…

These boots are solid! For my break in hike, I climbed Mt. Rainier, worked amazingly well, never got wet even in sloppy snow starting at sunrise. Not entirely good for keeping…

The fit is true to size, and they conform well to my feet. As long as our feet are about the same shape you won't have any problems. The day I got these I took a not-so-quick…

I used Asolo 8000's to climb high on Aconcagua Mt. 2011, worked fine, good traction, fit me just about right, worked great with sabretooth crampons. Most important kept my fee…

These are much nicer than the Scarpa invernos because they have a velcro inner boot. Much easier to get on and off, plus no inner lace keeper to bang up your shin. I have ma…

So far I am satisfied with this boot-It is durable*, waterproof, breathable and has a good grip for a non-vibram outsole. *Watch the metal hooks on the laces, as they tend to…

I'm not 100% of the model that I have...but I paid $200+ for my leather Asolo's about 3-4 years ago. They've saved my ankles hundreds of times from fatigue/slope related rolls…

This is a fantastic boot. Needed a new boot for a 100+ mile trek in New Mexico over rock to cattle path, to a summit attempt. This boot handled it and I had no blisters. I got…
