 Asolo Men's TPS 520 GV Hiking Boot in Medium Width By: Asolo Average Rating: 5.0 Total Reviews: 3 More Information good solid shoe  On: 2008-09-15I am a UPS driver I buy 2 pairs of these shoes ever year. I put a lot of hard miles on them. great boots On: 2008-01-06I love these boots. I have had them for two years and every time i put them on i wonder why i dont just use them as my every day shoes. They are so comfortable and they also look really good. These boots make hiking a thrill and they hold to the trail extremely well. An excellent boot for the right foot. On: 2007-06-13I just bought a pair of these boots after looking around, reading reviews and then trying on five different brands. Heres what I discovered: as you might imagine, different companies create their shoes using different "lasts" or generic foot shapes. These differ quite a bit, which is somewhat surprising. So, I strongly recommend that you try on many different boots before you buy. For example, Ive always bought Vasque boots in the past, because they fit my narrow (B-width) foot pretty well. This time, I tried on some Vasque boots, Montrails, Merrills, Lowas and Asolos. The Asolos fit my foot incredibly well right out of the box. They were/are the most comfortable boot Ive ever owned. They are also, evidently, very durable. A friend who used to be a backpacking guide and now works in an outdoor outfitting store told me that she had other friends who had had this particular boot re-soled three times from heavy use and were continuing to use and enjoy them. So, the essence of my review is this: stick with boot companies that have a reputation for high quality, try on several brands of boots and different models of the same brand (I tried on some Cordura and nylon Asolos, too, but wanted a full-leather upper so I got the 520s) to see which brands foot last mirrors your own foot shape best, and then spend a little more than you had planned to get a boot that will ultimately last longer and save you money, as a result. |
