Review of Asolo Fugitive GTX Men’s Mountaineering Boots
These are really great, sturdy, and reliable boots that will offer little visible wear evidence even after many years of hard abuse. I have a pair of Asolo’s, very similar to this one, that lasted through 2 two tours in Afghanistan (Naval Special Warfare), and 6 more years at home in the States, and are still going strong. Got these because I like the black, grey, red color scheme. These boots will probably outlast me. Beware, they are very stiff, and the sole insert is not very comfortable. Purchase a good aftermarket pair of sole inserts, and these will be the best boots you’ve owned in a long time guaranteed.These boots are comfy enough to hike in out of the box. After a bit of wear, they are great. I have NEVER had an issue with the goretex liners in any Asolo boots. They stay dry for years of heavy use.These are the best fitting and most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned. The uppers hold up very well. Eventually the soles wear thin and the rubber breaks down. I love these boots and will continue buying them as long as they are available when the old ones wear out. One thing I will say is that these boots are not waterproof. Just initial impressions for now, since I’ve broken them in but haven’t given them any hard wear yet. My foot is 10 5/16 by 4 1/16 which would be a 9.5 (43 Eu) D in street shoes, the width being ever so slightly over medium but not enough to go up.
