My friend, who happens to be a fairly reputable duck, told me these boots have great support, that they're waterproof and breathable and all the mallards in the pond have been whipping 'em at the fountain.
The Women's Stynger GTX Hiking Boot by Asolo is a rugged yet hi-tech Gore-Tex lined Suede and Cordura light hiking and trekking boot. The Stynger GTX features Asolo's Duo AsoFlex technology and Energy Outsole. Duo Asoflex is the synthesis of Asolo's research; two elements are melted together to improve comfort and performance. The first element, constructed of a stiff material benefits anti-pronation, anti-supination and anti-torsion. The second element, constructed with a softer material offers shock absorption while walking.
DECENT FEATURES of the Asolo Women's Stynger GTX Boot
Upper: Water resistant suede 1,6-1,8 mm + high tenacity nylon
This is a great pair of hiking shoes. Keeps my feet dry in wet, muddy conditions. Handles mud, scree, and boulder-hopping well. I had no problems breaking them in, but needed to replace the footbed with green Superfeet to keep the arches of my feet happy on long hilly hikes. I have wide feet, and wear the same size in these as in my street shoes.
I have had two pairs of these, and can't imagine buying another fieldwork boot. A quick shot of waterproof spray, and I have been all set. Great for ankle support for those of us who forget to pay attention to where we are walking. Good sole traction (before wearing out-- the reason I bought a new pair).
After reading all of the good reviews, I decided on the Stynger. I'm so happy with my purchase! They didn't need much breaking in before our 15 mile hike over a pass in Glacier Natl. Park. No blisters and great ankle support. They are well made and have held up well. I bought them 2 years ago and they still look like new and the tread has held up nicely. I don't usually tend to spend much on shoes and clothing but this was an investment that was well worth it! Thanks, Moosejaw...for the great deal, awesome customer service and speedy delivery!! Happy Hiking!
"Excellent backpacking boot for wet, rocky and rough terrain!"

On their first outing, the Asolo Stynger boots stayed dry after multiple river crossings, sloshing through miles of marshy fields and being completely immersed in water 1” below the top of the shoe. The shoes are stiff/strong enough to kick into coarse, gravelly rocks on slopes w/o causing foot injuries/discomfort, the lacing system stays put without slipping, the sole offered very secure grip, even on wet, odd-shaped rocks and are relatively lightweight. They run narrow in the toe, so if you wear ww get 1/2 a size up. They are pricey, but well worth the money since they last longer. I’ve gone through reputable brands in 3-5 trips and so far, the Asolos are holding up strong after 10+ trips.

these boots have gotten me through so much and they are still in absolutely great shape. They are very durable, warm, and yet breathable for all hiking conditions. When i was deciding what hiking boots to get i was told that these are a great choice for backpacking due to their firm support and great arches for my feet. All true, the one tiney complaint that i have is when it is really sunny out the black toe protectors at the end of the boot heat up tremendously making my toes actually really hot at one point. Other than that minor detail these boots are fantastic in every way and will even get you safely though christmas in july if you see rain or shine then:)
i bought these for my girlfriend, pushed out a 70+ K walk, all smooth sailing boots were faultless. Only thing is if you have a wide foot boot runs a little narrow.
I use these boots for everything! They're comfortable for trekking, hiking and even just casual walking. I saw a lot of boots before I decided to buy these and I can say I'm happy with what I choose.They keep my feet very warm and they're great when it comes to walking in water.I got them on sale, so I can say I'm very happy with the price, but the truth is that I would have got them also for the full price.
Greatest boots ever! I have owned a pair for 8 years now and have only worn out the laces. I bought a pair for my girlfriend and she loves them too. The boots fit true to size.

I bought these for my girl a few years ago so that she would like me. We are married now so it must have worked. These boots are very comfortable (I have the guys version). You can tromp through the wet mud for hours and stay dry. They are great for trails with a full pack, but also just as nice when your just cruising around town. I highly recommend these boots to anyone looking for a great all-around boot!
