Product Description
In 1975, Asolo began manufacturing footwear. Asolo's footwear products meet the demands from the rugged climber to the person who enjoys leisure activities. In the 1980's Asolo created the AFS system. This shoe was created for professional alpinists with a single molded structure injected with various thermo-plastic materials. After the turn of the newest century, new technologies continue to be developed by Asolo. Such as Duo Asoflex, Asosorb, and Micro Pulley System. Asolo Men's Fugitive GTX Hiking Boot (medium or wide width) has the duo Asoflex sole. Duo Asoflex is the synthesis of Asolos research; two elements are melted together to improve comfort and performance. Asolo Men's Moab XCR Trail Runner is a great shoe for those who love trail running! Available for women is the Asolo Women's Stynger GTX Light Hiker with Duo Asoflex. Be sure to check out the other products which are available.

good solid shoe September 15, 2008
I am a UPS driver I buy 2 pairs of these shoes ever year.
I put a lot of hard miles on them.
great boots January 6, 2008
I love these boots. I have had them for two years and every time i put them on i wonder why i don't 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. June 13, 2007

I just bought a pair of these boots after looking around, reading reviews and then trying on five different brands. Here's 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, I've 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 I've 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 brand's 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.
