The boots were comfortable out of the box and keep getting better. I would be very satisfied even if I had paid full price...." Read Full Review »

Rugged, rough, and stuffy
"Its hard to beat a pair of Asolo boots for this price. They are one of the few companies that still makes all-round quality boots. However, I would say there are two deficiencies in this boot.

Secondly, the insoles are useless. ..." Read Full Review »

The Sasslong one-piece leather uppers are taller than on my FSN95s and offer more ankle support. They also provide a little more rock protectio
