Asolo Fugitive GTX Light Hiking Boot - Men's



I expect more out of Asolo!
Nothing but problems with multiple pairs. I started with a pair of these boots from REWhy. The first time on they were very comfortable and I was excited to get such a high quality boot. After purchasing and with a bit more inspection I found that the Gore-Tex lining on the heal had a large amount of extra material that caused a crease. This crease dug into my heal and caused blisters on the first day (break-in at the office, no hiking). Obvious flaw. I took that pair back and they ordered another pair. Ten days later I received the new boots and they had the same issue. Extra Gore-Tex causing large creases in the lining. This time on the other boot. Again I traded them in and ordered another pair. Over ten days later I got a third pair. (Yes, I am getting very frustrated by this point). The third pair had an even larger crease in them near the toe. I figured that maybe I should just wear them for a few weeks to see if this crease would go away. No such luck. With all the extra Gore-Tex material in the lining, it creates large friction points in the boot. I took that pair back again and got a refund. I visited another outdoor store thinking that REI maybe had a bad batch. I purchased the same boot in a different color. The newest pair was very comfortable and didn't seem to have the lining issue. After wearing the latest pair for about two weeks the Gore-Tex lining is now releasing from the bottom of the boot. This is actually the second pair that has had this same issue. The lining pulls up and you can feel it "squishing" each step. This is just on one boot. To say the least I have been very disappointed in this boot and in Asolo. I wish they would go back to making their boots in Italy and leave the Bangladesh/China manufacturing to things like computer parts and toys. For what it's worth, I have heard several people praise these boots...I guess that is why I was willing to give them so many attempts. This latest attempt has frustrated me to the point where I will no longer purchase Asolo boots. This is after wearing Asolo's for over 10 years. If you decide to purchase these boots, make sure to inspect the Gore-Tex lining closely before leaving the store.


Lightweight dry comfort and protection
These boots are the best I've ever owned. They are comfortable, lightweight, and bone dry. The first time I wore these boots Jack and I hiked 7 miles without anything even close to a blister. I've used them through icy creeks, moss covered rocks, hot beaches and rocky mountain trails without any discomfort ever. They provide excellent traction and protection from rocks especially on steep down slopes. I used them four days last October in Yosemite and hiked the Falls up and down with no problems and lots of protection. They saved my ankles a hundred times on that hike. I've kept them on four days at a time with no discomfort and nothing even close to a blister. These boots coupled with Smart Wool socks are definitely the way to go. I am going out today and buy two more pairs of these beauties before they change the style or phase them out.


super boot
I only had this for just two months. The boots are well made and super comfortable. There’s no break in time needed. They’re superb in the rocky terrain, and they’re good looking too. Highly recommended.


Excellent
Asolo GTX's are by far the most comfortable things I have ever owned, boots that is. They withstand rain, twisting ankles, and snow is all that matters to me. Kept my feet warm! Esp up north in New Jersey. But before you buy it, do inspect them. No one or nothing is perfect. :) Enjoy


Best Shoes Ever
I love these boots. Most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned from the time I put them on. Looking forward to climbing a mountain with them this summer - have already hiked quite a bit with them - and they perform well. (They aren't as stiff on the boards as the Voyagers, the other Asolos that I tried. But they are probably even more comfortable) Would get another pair if I could afford it.
