Wow, what can one say about this boot? Tried this boot at the shop (spent over an hour getting the right boot) and it felt great, went home tested the boot before taking them out walking, so far so good.
Sorry but the happy story stops there. Walked over a hundred miles in these foot killers and the only good point I can find in the boot is in going downhill, the support is exceptional, the confidence the boot gives is phenomenal, be it over rocks, mud or loose stones the Asolo can do it all. The waterproofing is as good as you would expect. The big sting in the tale is getting up there to enjoy the boot, on the flat or going uphill the boot kills. I find myself stopping every ten minutes to re- adjust them, it seems tight in one place loose in another, when you think you’ve got it comfy it all starts again, it doesn’t matter how I do them up I cannot get them right even without using the bottom eye holes my feet are in bits and to top it all of the weight is a killer. Four days after last wearing them my feet are still sore!
Too sum up. If you have feet like a princess and legs like arnie this maybe the boot for you. If you’re normal, look elsewhere. Not worth a 4 star rating.
