Asolo FSN 85 Hiking Boots (For Women)

I will be hiking in Peru next month and in Yosemite later. These boots felt comfortable the first time I put them on and required no break in, although I have been wearing them a lot. Love the boots.

When I first wore them, the ankle bone of my foot was sore and so I loosened the laces. I also had bit of pain at the top of my foot that began to shoot up my right shin. I waited a few days before wearing them again. I put a Dr. Scholl's insert as, although the boots are the correct size, my toe was shifting about & sore from the friction. The sole of the shoe is very hard, not cushioned -- a much harder impact than a running shoe or my last pair of hiking boots (L.L. Bean). I walk 2 miles into work uphill a couple times a week & will take longer walks in the summer. The boots are starting to feel more comfortable but, for me, they are taking a while to break in.

Hiking, country walks ---love ankle support, style and quality!! Sierra has great customer support and you will get your exchange fairly quickly (less than one week). Another reason why I will not hesitate to buy again. Like I said, they run 1/2 too big, but once I got the correct size..........maaaaarvelous!!

Do a ton of hiking. It's not unusual for me to get in over 100 miles in a month of Colorado mountain hikes. Purchased these because my last pair fell apart too fast, thought these appeared sturdy enough to endure my activities. Took them out on a 15 miler, and had to change shoes half way through. Far too uncomfortable, and I do not have sensitive feet. I will continue to use them here and there, but they made my entire body hurt after only half way through the hike. I've already replaced them, trying hard to find the perfect boot for me. They do run big, and I ordered a half size down based upon reviews here and elsewhere.

Got these for around the farm. Nice and sturdy and lightweight. Perfect for my needs. I followed the advice of other reveiws to size appropriately and they fit great. A couple of days of breaking in, of course, but otherwise ready out of the box.
