Pros & Cons
Pros
If you want a tough day hiker, this is your guy. Every pair lasts a long time. One example is i've worn them on a 4 day elk hunt in a wilderness area on the nevada/idaho border.
The boot has a stiff shank that maintains the boots shape over uneven terrain. The tread has a self braking property that keeps it's traction in slick mudd. They are very reliable, really waterproof and feel just great on my feet.
They are pricey but for a boot that should last your adult life and kick in any condition it is a value buy. Way overdue. Will continue to buy this boot until it is discontinued.
This boot fits like a glove and is very comfortable right out of the box. It's the kind of boot i want to wear often instead of dreading to put my boots on for certain things. After wearing for a while my review will be updated.
Cons
Brought them to a cobbler and was told there was no way to reattach the soles. No repair shops available and was brushed aside by support. Asolo warranty is only 2 years.
Both laces are sheared off on the same metal loop, second from toe. Sole material might as well be teflon. Small pieces of rubber were breaking and flaking off.

The gortex lining comes up high on the boot.
I replace the foot beds with superfeet insoles.
