Customer Reviews Asolo Flame GTX®

Great boot! They are well worth the money. Do not buy cheap hiking boots. If you are buying the WIDES, you do not want to size up. I normally wear a 12.5 so I ordered a 13 wide and they were WAY TOO BIG. I had Zappos replace with a 12 wide and they are perfect. Thanks ZAPPOS!

I am very disappointed with this product. I have been wearing them for two weeks for 8-9 hours a day. The cuff is so poorly designed and crafted that it has hard pressure points under the lace points resulting in extreme pain. I have cut them out to make the boots wearable. The fit has changed to much in over all volume and width due to material compaction I have added an addition insole and 3 layers of duct tape on the original to secure my foot in the boot. The 10.5 was to short the 11 is way to big indicating to me a cheap lasting program. Avoid this entire series of Asolo products unless you have a high volume foot.

What more can you say about boots with 39 reviews and they still have a five star rating? I just bought my third pair, they are the only boots that I have worn for the past four years and I wear them every day, I also added the Spenco ¾ arch support.

I got these by request for Christmas. (Thanks babe!) My intended uses for these are some light hiking and as everyday footwear for work (Plain-clothes Law Enforcement), so your mileage may vary! It took about two weeks of moderately painful daily wear to break them in. The insole that came in the boots didn't like my feet. It was very thin and offered zero arch support. I replaced them with a pair of "Spenco PolySorb Total Support" insoles, and the comfort is now perfect. This is a well built boot that should last a long time based on my prior Asolo boot experiences. So I would not rush to judgment if at first you find the Flame GTX uncomfortable for your feet. Break 'em in and/or try some better insoles.

As a geologist, I need good supportive shoes that will last me a long time in rough terrain. I bought these boots just before I spent 2 weeks in the field. For 14 consecutive days, I hiked an average of 4 miles per day. These boots are very supportive, fit my wide foot very well, and appear to be durable. Definitely another excellent Asolo product. Keep in mind that I ordered the EE width version.

My first pair of hiking boots. Didn't intend spending this much money, but like everything else, you get what you pay for. Took three days to break in around ankles...now they are my shoe-of-choice for everyday wear. Comfortable. supportive and give a great sense of security over any terrain from sidewalk to wilderness.

My husband loves these boots. They are true to size, supportive & breaking in nicely. Purchased for hiking in the snow but perfect for year-round hiking. They look great too.

These are great boots! I bought them just for hiking. After I started wearing them they were so comfortable that I decided to wear them to work as well. These are the best boots that I have ever owned. I would recommend them to anyone!

The Asolo Flame GTX (Gore-Tex lined) is the meeting of the lightweight boot with the most rugged trail boot. A balance between a lower weight with rugged durability. Incredibly stable with the interactive heel and a firm but flexible shank that will give support over the most difficult and uneven trail surface. It feels like a comfortable shoe but never fails to support and perform like a hiking boot. With over 300 hiking miles on my first pair of Flame GTX boots I can vouch for their high quality and excellent dependability.

Great boot. I have had the boots for one month now. Light, comfortable and great looking. They are holding up well and seem they will last a long time. I still like my Vasque boots, but Asolo are becoming my favorite.

Superior quality both from Zappos customer service and in the boots, themselves. Very good fit and durability.

I live in a small town that is completely ice and snow covered. Consequently, I wear these boots every day. I can't get over how much the boots are helping my previously injured knees. I have worn Merrells for years, and I can't believe the difference.

This is a very lightweight and comfortable boot. The fit around the ankle is great and the support it provides is second to none. I thought it runs a 1/2 size on the small side. I have a bunion on my left foot and this boot does not hurt it when walking!

Went for several winter hikes along the Oregon coast in November. It was wet and snowy and cold, but my feet were dry and warm. Awesome boots.

I would like to start out by saying I had my feet professionally measured at a running store before I ordered the Asolo Flame GTX. Many people think they know their size, but have never actually been professionally measured. I highly recommend doing this especially if you are a woman like me - planning on buying a man's size. I am a 9 D (medium/standard). This is what I ordered and I ended up having to return the boots. The Asolo Flame was too narrow in the toe box area and the hard rigid black toe cap offers no give. My toes were squished together and rubbed badly against the hard toe cap - especially the 5th digit. After doing some research and calling Asolo's American headquarters, they informed me the boots do run narrow because they are based on a European style. I returned the boots and ended up trying an EE wide 9. They fit perfectly! The boots are light weight and the waterproof Gore-Tex works well. Although Gore-Tex is breathable your feet will still get hot! I have discovered they get very hot in the summer but if you wear a light liner sock it helps a lot with the moisture! I have used these for both short (3-6 mile) and long (11+ mile) day hikes because I prefer ankle support over trail shoes. I have also used the Asolo Flame for backpacking trips. I will mention that the shoes offered good support and performed well, however, when my pack weight gets 40+lbs I put in Green Superfeet insoles and the boots are fantastic. The Flame was very comfortable out of the box. My break in time was two half day hikes - no blisters, one hot spot at the top collar/tongue junction. These boots are durable and I've used them extensively for 4 months hiking and backpacking all over the ANF. They have a lot of miles on them and show no signs of separation between the sole and the upper. My friends joke that I buy a new pair every weekend we go out! I would highly recommend these boots!

I\'ve owned a pair of TPX boots for years and love them. I still get compliments on them looking new and all I do is Nikwax them once or twice a year. So when it came time to replace my Merrill summer boots I looked to Asolo and the Flame GTXs. Actually I bought a pair of Morans first but didn\'t love the fit. Zappos had the Flames in wide which I highly recommend if you need a little more room. I\'ve been breaking them in on morning walks and they\'re awesome. I hike a little but not a lot and these are mainly for an all around waterproof summer boot for fun and work. So far they\'re great. With a set of Superfeet insoles they\'re perfect.

As always, Asolo continues to exceed my expectations. With bone fragments in both ankles, break-in is quite a chore. These Asolo shoes were more comfortable in about half the time of my Columbias. Support is great, but without sacrificing the "feel" needed when trying to move quietly over sticks, rocks and such. I will buy them again.

These boots are awesome. I hike behind my home at least 4 times a week with my 10 month old daughter. These boots handle my weight and her weight with no problem. Highly recommended.

The KING of hiking boots! These are the best boots you can buy for hiking! I have hiked every Mountain in the White Mountains as well as every mountain in Maine. Guess what I did it with ONE PAIR OF BOOTS! ASOLO! This is my third pair of Asolo boots in 16 years of hiking. I have put more ground under my feet in my Asolo boots than most people will in a life time. If you are looking for a boot that will support you and your pack, provide traction and last you years of hiking. BUY a pair of Asolo boots!

SUPERB SERVICE AND GREAT COMFORT! Wow, what great service at Zappos! I ordered the boots with standard shipping and was upgraded to overnight shipping just for being a customer. I ordered them at 6pm and got them at noon the next day! I was stunned and extremely pleased. The boots are great looking and very comfortable. They are a little stiff, but with some break in time they should soften a little. I plan to get back into backpacking in the future. I haven't gone in about 15 years. I will also go hiking with the flames on the trails in Tilden Park. The design of the boots is very nice and high quality. I like the toe protection that will prevent scuffing. Once again thanks to Zappos.com for A+ #1 service.

Asolo Flame GTX - I love the looks of the shoe. It is lightweight. Comfort is not there, but if you ad an insole with arch support it is just the extra that makes it comfortable enough for all day. I work outside and it goes through all types of terrain.
