Asolo FSN 95 GTX Hiking Boot - Men's Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I write this review to inform potential buyers of a serious problem I have with this shoe.First, let me get the positives out of the way.These boots are light, extremely comfortable, durable, and water resistant.They support my feet relatively well with a 25-30lb pack.I haven't had any blisters or any arch problems with these shoes.I hike on all types of terrain.

Now on to an important negative.The soles are not very good.They do not grip well on slick rock.In fact, I've almost slipped on wet concrete on a sidewalk.I've also walked on wet flat painted stairs and could not get a grip.These are rated 3 season but I would argue they are 2 season.Rain + soles = bad news.Although not designed for winter, I've walked outside in the snow and in ice and the soles do not grip well.

I also own a Keen sandal so I tried to walk on the slippery surfaces that my Asolo did not grip well.Ironically, my Keens outperformed my Asolo FSN, even on ICE!I think it's time for Asolo to retire these shoes (they've been on the market for awhile now).I am a huge Asolo fan and will continue to use Asolo but as soon as these get worn out, I'm switching to the newer designs.

Product Description:
The Asolo Mens FSN 95 GTX Hiking Boot gives you the versatility to handle anything from a quick day hike to an extended backpacking trip in supportive comfort. A Gore-Tex waterproof breathable membrane seals out water during rain storms or creek crossings, yet it breathes moisture to keep your foot dry. The tough suede and Cordura upper fends off abusive trail debris, and Asolo added a Asoflex thermoplastic shank for torsional stability and air-injected polyurethane midsoles for rough-trail cushioning.
