By Frodemann from Vesteralen, North Norway on 09/11/2008 Pros: Ankle Support, Sturdy/Durable Best Uses: Cold Weather, Day Hiking, Everyday, Harsh Terrain Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: A boot with a good stiff sole that is grat for walking in the mountains wearing a medium loaded backpack. Need some time to break in, so it should have been worn some time before you go on a longer trip.
Needs some extensive break time By GlenG from Harrisburg, PA on 07/27/2008 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Great Traction, Rugged tough, Sturdy/Durable Cons: Needs break in time, Too Stiff/Not Flexible Best Uses: Day Hiking, Harsh Terrain, Light Loads, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Appears to be a rugged, tough, and durable boot, but requires some break in. I walked about 3-4 miles in these before I hit a 4K peak in the Dack's. 2 inch T-Storm the night before gave the trails a dousing and were extremely muddy, some of the worst I've seen. These boots left me with a sock that would make Curt Schilling jelous. However that's my fault. I am looking forward to hitting the Whites in 3 weeks and I think I'll have a good, rugged serviceable boot by then. Great traction on the Dack's famous rock slabs, even the wet! Handled the mud well, dispite not being water proof.

Good boot but no for everyday By bugeaterz from Portland, Or on 07/08/2008 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Water Resistant Cons: Not Comfortable, Too Stiff/Not Flexible Best Uses: Day Hiking, Heavy Loads, Long-Distance Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought these boots for everyday work wear as I am a contractor/remodeler. While they do give excellent support they are way to stiff for everyday wear and I doubt that they will break in to my desired comfort level. The first day I wore them they chewed a pretty good sized raw spot next to my ankle but that can happen with a new pair of boots on the break-in.
I did take them out hiking and they performed excellent. They are very sturdy and have great traction.

They're sturdy but not stiff. I would definitely buy another pair!
By Iwas830 from Newbury Park, CA on 06/23/2008 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable Best Uses: Day Hiking, Everyday, Long-Distance Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual/Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have three pair of Asolo hikers...I use them daily and for hiking. I purchased these as a back-up as the price from Sierra was just so good!!!
I hike the Kaibab and Bright Angel trails at the Grand Canyon every year and have never even had a blister in these boots!!!
As for the laces they wear quickly...I just replace them with parachute cord which never fails.
Appears to be very well built boot.

By Capt. Bob from Medina, OH on 06/18/2008 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Ease of Entry, Flexible, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable Best Uses: Cold Weather, Day Hiking, Everyday, Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Light Loads, Long-Distance Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer, Casual/Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is the second pair purchased, this time for my son. These boots are designed in such a way so that those will larger feet can easily put the boots on without painful hyperpronation of the foot. The ease of entry does not compromise the support provided to the foot and ankle.
