I live in boots so I know what works for me. Asolo has been a favorite for years, I haven't been able to wear my first pair out (not from lack of trying) and I purchased them years ago. The FSN 85 was comfortable out of the box and provides what I expect from an Asolo boot. I like a supportive versitile boot I can wear all day, wherever they take me. I probably wouldn't consider these with a heavy pack but for everyday hiking or work or simply running around, they rock (also comfortable for short runs)! I normally stick with men's boots for the extra width room but this women's style is perfect!!

I originally intended to use these boots for an extended backpacking trip, but I decided at the last minute to instead use my similar (but leather) Asolo boots because of increased insulation and water resistance. These boots are really great, though. They're comfortable, easy to break in, lightweight, and durable - they've served me well backpacking in snow, rain, and harsh terrain (but don't expect them to hold out water in river crossings). I highly recommend them!

I first ordered a pair of Vasque boots because I have owned them before. Before I wore them I read other reviews on these and decided to order a pair for myself and a men's pair for my husband. I rarely wear anything smaller than an 8.5 but ordered an 8 after reading other reviews. I have plenty of room in the 8 and they are an excellent fit. We live in Wisconsin and wore them today for a two hour hike where we encountered uneven terrain, crackling ice, water, mud, and snow. We were both delighted with the phenomenal performance, comfort and support of these boots. Another reviewer said that the light color caused concern regarding getting dirty. I was amazed at how everything seemed to slide off them and they look very clean.

I use these for geological expeditions. In the snowy outdoors but mostly in the desert. They need no breaking in, are not heavy and so comfortable I could wear them everyday. I completely understand why they were rated No# 1 .

I have purchased two pair of these boots. Love them! The traction is fabulous on loose talus/scree and I will probably buy a third pair soon so that I don't ever wear these out. I have previously had problems with blisters in many other makes and models, but the boots allow ventilation and make them very comfortable.

I agree with the recommendation to order 1/2 size smaller. I wore these for a 5-day canoe-camping trip, with dozens of portages in which they were submerged. They drained well once out of the water and dried a bit overnight, so were comfortable to wear again in the morning, even if damp. These are great boots, especially at this price!
