Great Shoe For the Discounted Price By Bob the Walker from Iowa on 02/07/2009 Pros: Arch Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Dries Quickly, Great Traction, Shock-Absorbent, Stabilizes Foot, Water Proof Best Uses: All Weather Conditions, Mixed Terrain, Muddy Conditions, Paved Trails Describe Yourself: Recreational Walker/Hiker Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: My wife dog and I walk a minimum of 2 miles per day under all weather conditions. We usually take a couple of week-long walking/hiking trips each year, and I wanted a pair of light-weight, waterproof hiking shoes that could be packed easily. The Asolo Contour Gore-tex trail shoes fill the bill, and are as comfortable as my more-expensive leather walking shoes. I received these shoes from Sierra Traders a few weeks ago during a cold (below 0 degrees F) snowy winter day. A few days later when the temperatures got up above +20 degrees F, I wore the Asolo Contours on sanded streets, packed snow and ice and had great traction and support. The past few days, the temperatures warmed into the 50s and the Asolo trail shoes kept my feet dry and comfortable while walking through slush, water and mud. I have not had a chance yet to use them on rocky slopes, but the traction I've gotten on ice and snow indicates that they will do well. It is too early to evaluate durability, but despite walking on snow, ice and mud, they still look new after being wiped off.
Very good quality and fit By Peter B. from Seattle, Washington on 02/03/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable/No Break-In, Dries Quickly, Durable, Great Traction, Stabilizes Foot Best Uses: All Weather Conditions, Everyday, Grass, Mixed Terrain, Muddy Conditions, Paved Trails, Rocky/Unstable Terrain Describe Yourself: Gym Rat, Trail Jogger Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great shoes that fit right out of the box. No Break-in required. The quality is very noticeable - this is not cheaply made. Sizing is about accurate. I have normally a wider foot, but these fit perfectly.
By RockyTop from Knoxville, Tn on 02/03/2009 Pros: Dries Quickly, Durable, Great Traction, Stabilizes Foot Best Uses: Everyday, Mixed Terrain, Muddy Conditions, Paved Trails, Rocky/Unstable Terrain, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Recreational Walker/Hiker, Trail Jogger Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I love to hike, so I have some experience with hiking shoes. However, I bought this shoe to primarly just wear around or for short hikes. It rains a lot where I live, so I wanted the comfort of a sneaker with the protection of Gore-Tex. The shoe is great. It does not require any break-in. It is not as comfortable as some of the reviews suggest, but it isn't uncomfortable. I have narrow feet, so it fits a bit wide but not too bad. All in all I'm glad I bought it...especially at STP.
Great pair of high quality shoes! By Peter B. from Seattle, WA on 01/24/2009 Pros: Comfortable/No Break-In, Durable, Great Traction, Stabilizes Foot Best Uses: All Weather Conditions, Everyday, Grass, Mixed Terrain, Muddy Conditions, Paved Trails, Rocky/Unstable Terrain Describe Yourself: Gym Rat, Recreational Walker/Hiker, Trail Jogger Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I like the stiffer flex of the sole - it is not like your regular floppy cheap shoes. Toe box is firm and holds it's shape.
Shoe fit perfectly right out of the box. 2 days later and no break-in was needed. Sizing was very accurate.
I really LIKE these shoes.
Comfortable from the first wearing. By Schlotz from Berkeley, CA on 01/04/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable/No Break-In, Dries Quickly, Durable, Shock-Absorbent, Stabilizes Foot Best Uses: All Weather Conditions, Everyday, Mixed Terrain Describe Yourself: Recreational Walker/Hiker Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Asolo is a great name in footwear, and continues to uphold it's rep. Great value for the money.
By Tom from Lafayette, CA on 01/02/2009 Pros: Arch Support, Great Traction, Stabilizes Foot Best Uses: All Weather Conditions, Grass, Paved Trails Describe Yourself: Recreational Walker/Hiker Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These shoes were comfortable from the moment I put them on. I have had them for about 10 days now with one trial hike under them. They seem to work well and have stayed dry in the moist conditions.
I will need to own them longer to rate the durability but I like the shoe very much!
I would buy this product again and again By Gerry the hiker from Madison, FL on 12/30/2008 Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Wonderful all-terrain shoe By Nate from Springfield, IL on 12/26/2008 Pros: Arch Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Great Traction Best Uses: All Weather Conditions, Everyday, Mixed Terrain, Muddy Conditions, Rocky/Unstable Terrain Describe Yourself: Rarely Workout Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Wonderfull all-terrain shoe. Right out of the box, very comfortable and excellent stability. Only worry is that the outer sole is softer than I anticipated. Makes we wonder how long they'll last before they wear down.
Perfect fit , comfortable from first use By Bill from Wilmington, DE on 12/20/2008 Pros: Arch Support, Breathable, Comfortable/No Break-In Describe Yourself: Recreational Walker/Hiker Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I really liked the first pair of Asolo shoes I had bought last summer, and when this Gore Tex model was available as a closeout I had high hopes. I was very pleased that the fit was exactly as before - when using mail order for shoes it's important that sizing stay consistent. Kudos to Asolo.
First Pair of Asolos; Won't Be My Last By KRT from NH on 11/30/2008 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable/No Break-In, Dries Quickly, Durable, Great Traction, Stabilizes Foot Best Uses: Grass, Mixed Terrain, Muddy Conditions, Rocky/Unstable Terrain Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete, Recreational Walker/Hiker, Trail Jogger Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Highly recommended product. Wow, I have never, ever had a pair of shoes that fit this pefectly upon first wearing and it only gets better with time. Let's be honest, these are ugly shoes. However, if you're looking for function over form, these are the shoes. Superb.
