Comfortable and stylish boot
I love to walk but my feet are problematic and achy so I have to have the right shoe. I got these based on a recommendation from a friend so I could still walk when it's messy out in the winter. I typically wear an 8.5M and I ended up getting an 8M because 8.5 wasn't available. The 8 was perfect - still plenty of toe room. They aren't too heavy and I like the firm support. I have high arches so I added an insert to one boot for my achy arch and it did the trick. Have only worn them a few times (for a total of 8 miles) but overall very pleased.

Awesome Hiking Boots! - Run Large!
Quality is great. I love that there are actual arch supports. Cheaper boots always have a flat foot. Nice light/mid-weight. I have another pair of heavy Asolos that I love, but are just not as cushioned and are heavy. These are perfect! I normally (always!) wear a size 8 but had to go with a 7-1/2 in these (with still plenty of toe room left over for hiking downhill).

Oh. My. Gosh. Heaven for my feet.
These are the most comfortable footwear I’ve ever put on my feet! Including slippers! I would wear these all the time, everywhere, if it were socially acceptable!!! I have a high arch and these boots give me exactly the right amount of support. I wear a 9 narrow in regular shoes, and I bought the size 9...they fit perfectly. I can’t say enough good things about these hiking boots. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars.

Quality and Comfort Always!!!
Asolo is a awesome brand and always delivers! I have worn their boots all over the world, including deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq, and not once sis I ever experience a problem. I bought these boots for my fiancé, as we hike and explore all over AZ, CA, NH, MT, ID. She has been wearing them to break them in since they arrived, and has complimented on the comfortable fit, ankle support, and traction they provide. I will update this review after our caving trip and hiking Yosemite.

Always consistent, best fit and support
I have tried many different hiking shoes and boots and always come back to Asolo. Plenty of toe room, holds my foot in place while going downhill so that my toes don't get squished. Good protection from sharp rocks. Great support.

Strange fit
Bizzare fit, arch is strange and does not hit in correct position. I returned. Overpriced.

Would buy again.
I have worn Asolo for many years and this is the first time I have ordered them online. Initially, the boot didn’t seem to fit correctly, almost too big. I spent about 4hrs standing around sweating in them. The fit got more comfortable. I then hiked 6mi and then a 10miler with no issues. Hoping to use them on a 20ish miler soon.
