Reviewed by Daniel from cullowhee, nc on Thursday, May 23, 2013I would recommend these boots to anyone. Super comfortable and hold up to the elements well. I wear mine almost everyday, constantly abusing them in the woods and on asphalt both. I've had my last pair for over a year and they are still great. I just bought another pair just to have a spare. I love this boot!!!

Reviewed by Cy the Guy from Lafayette, IN on Thursday, May 23, 2013Pros: Seem very stable, extremely waterproof, and pretty comfortable. Protect well against rocks and uneven terrain with a stiff, thick sole. Seem to keep feet fairly cool in hot weather. Cons: Seem to run about a half size large. I have previously worn Keen Hiking boots and always wore a size 13. In these, I ordered a 13 wide (Keens run wide) and they were a bit roomy, especially on length. I changed the sole inserts to a thicker one and problem solved! Can't speak to durability yet, but they look like they will hold up well.

Reviewed by Sean the Environmentalist from Maryland on Wednesday, May 22, 2013I had the waterproof shoes for over 3 years. Hiked, camped, and everyday use in the field as an environmentalist and I just found that it was time for another pair. I went with the waterproof hiking boots for more versatility. I am glad I did. I purchased and put Asolo to the ultimate test, and they earned my loyalty. I received my boots and comfort immediately out of the box. Did I mention they are sharp looking too. Stood in shallow streams and no roblems with wet feet. I have even run in them. Outstanding! The workmanship and quality are impeccable and I will keep buying this brand, and I have recommended to everyone I know! The size was exact. I have had my feet REALLY measured and ordered that size and they could not fit better. You simply cannot lose purchasing this brand. I am thinkingof investing in the company. That is how much I believe they are the greatest!

Reviewed by Al from Vermont on Wednesday, May 22, 2013These boots have worked out well so far. I initially purchased them in a medium width, which is normal for me. They were to narrow. The wide size seems just right

Reviewed by ERIC G from Southern Cal on Wednesday, May 22, 2013This is my third pair. The FSN 95 is the best three season boot I have ever owned. I have even pushed the envelope and done some winter mountaineering in them with extra layers. I am actually still using pair number two but bought these because I fear they will soon be out of stock in my size and don't want to pay out the nose when I need a new pair. I am an avid hiker and mountaineer from extreme desert scrambling to high alpine peaks. To be honest I am a LUM-OX very and heavy footed and would be the perfect test dummy for any gear, if it lasts more than a day on me it's got to be good! I have gotten about 2 1/2 years of use on each pair with thousands of trail and off trail miles, I eventually wore down the sole's and wanted some new tread. ( I believe that I wound have gotten even more tread life if I hadn't done so much extreme desert scrambling, those rocks are like coarse sandpaper.) The gortex has never failed nor the construction of the boot. I am still using pair number one as a ranch work boot on muddy wet days when I feed the horses. My Plan is to eventually have these resoled when they are no longer in stock. They have have a stiff shank and provide amazing stability over varied terrain. ORDER ONE SIZE UP.

Reviewed by gearjam1 from carbondale, Illinois on Monday, May 20, 2013Can't say enough good-things about this boot! I purchased a pair for myself, and my son. The same night, my Father ordered a pair. Excellent support, construction, grip, and fit! This is our first dedicated hiking boot, and we hope to get in some extended hikes this summer.

Reviewed by R. Wheeler from Lake Tahoe Ca on Monday, May 20, 2013I have purchase seveal Boots over my Back Packing career. paying $85.00 - $300.00. YES I have a pair of $300 Zamberlan's that are my favorite do to the comfort, support, durability and most of all the Vibram aggresive sole patern. ASOLO FSN 95'S GORETEX are the best boot for the money. I have used these boots with a 40-50 Lb. Pack for numerous Pack Trips at 12,000 Feet. Light weight, durable, breathable, and no break in period. Asolo has different widths. I have a narrow foot and they fit my foot perfect. Having past and current Ankle Problems I have use these Boots for every Day Use. I have owned half a dozen of these boots and have always been Happy. The sole will last 12- 16 months with everday use. If you do week- end hikes and 2-4 weeks of packing a year, the soles will last 20-26 mo.'s. When the sole wears out they feel like slippers, I then use them around the house for Painting ect. If any one has ever had a pair of Old School Raichle SKY WALKERS, these Boots are very simular. Very well Made in Romania. The soles will wear out before the Top. Hope this rating was helpful. Happy Trails for all!

Reviewed by Hiker Joe from Alabama on Monday, May 20, 2013This is the 3rd pair of Asolo GoreTex hiking boots I've bought because they provide comfort, stability and waterproofing with no blisters. I've backpacked in the Grand Cayon the last two years and these boots have been great. I'm also wearing these boots to work in. Oh by the way I bought these boots for next big hiking trip. I'm still wearing the boots I bought 2 years ago.

Reviewed by NuevoZealand from North Carolina on Sunday, May 19, 2013I bought a pair of these after the soles of my previous Asolo GTX Latitude boot delamiated and I needed a replacement pair. I did not really use them too much but they were always very solid and comfortable. Last week, I noticed the tread was delaminating in the same way as the older pair. Boots are about 5 years old but I have other hiking boots (Raichle, Salomon) that are far older and have no sign of rot. Note my wife's Asolo GTX Latitude also started dry rotting about 1.5 years ago, so I cannot blame in on just one defective boot pair: three pairs of Asolo's and three cases of dry rot/delaminating soles. No more Asolo's for me. It's a shame because I liked every Asolo boot I've every had but they just don't last.
