I love this boot! This boot feels great on my feet, which are a little wide at the toes and narrow at the heel. The lacing system holds my heel firmly and there is plenty of room in toe box. The boot is sturdy and great for all types of hiking. There was no break in period necessary and I have not gotten any blisters. The only problem I've had is the sole at the toes delaminated from the boot after about 3 hikes! I had to return that pair, but got another pair of the same boots and haven't had that problem. I still love the boots even if the soles delaminate again because they are soooo comfortable! Hopefully, that won't happen. My friend got the same boots and also loves them and she hasn't had any problems with hers.

3 years strong - I live in Montana and these boots are the only shoes I wear after December 1st. I bought them three seasons ago and they still look new. I reseal them every season with a nubuck/suede sealer and my feet have still never gotten wet, even on lengthy hikes and creek crossings. These boots are by far the best investment in footwear I have ever made. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to own the same pair of boots for years, because these will last ya'.

Wrong sizing - I wear 11s, but as usual, these women's 11s were too small. My foot is 11 inches long. I don't know what kind of sizing charts they use. Good that with boots it doesn't matter if I buy Men’s...

Asolo Stynger GTX is a good buy - I have only worn them a couple of times but so far so good. The boots seem really durable and they look stylish. The only issue I am having right now is some tightness in the ankle and it is rubbing on the outside of the bones that sticks out the sides. I believe that is because they are not broken in. Good ankle support and toe protection. I have not had them in wet conditions yet but I think they will do very well. I plan to take them hiking in Utah this weekend!

Easy to break in boot - These boots were great for difficult hiking and in the snow. They took very little time to break in. Only thing is buy an extra pair of shoelaces- they broke after a week of wear. Otherwise great, comfortable boot.

Blister City! My last two pair of hiking boots were Asolo (530's), and they're one of the few brands that fit my narrow, low volume foot. When I first tried on the Stynger, I thought I was golden. They felt great around the store and house. Then I did a short 5 mile trek in the Adirondacks, and my feet came back blistered beyond belief. There was no breaking in this boot, so it was returned. My niece bought the same boot (against my recommendation) and had the exact same experience. They are too rigid and inflexible. It's like walking in a plastic case with no protection from rubbing. Even moleskin didn't work. I wouldn't recommend them to anybody, and I'm shocked all the reviews came back so positively. Other sites say the same thing I'm writing about this boot.

Nice Boots - The boot arrived on time and looks exactly like the picture. I would say it fits true to size, and the width is true to size. The only thing I felt it needed was a bit more padding on the inside of the sole, and some arch support but I fixed that with a gel insert.

Great Boot for Narrow Feet - I had just about given up finding a hiking type boot for my narrow feet. A salesperson at a hiking shop in North Carolina told me to check out Asolo hiking boots because they "ran narrow". Having heard this hundreds of times I was hesitant but am so glad I did. They only stocked up to a 10 and I needed a 10.5 so I headed straight for Zappos hoping I could find my size. Luckily I did and now I have bought two pairs of these boots. They are great! Even though they are classified as medium width, they are really narrow. Actually they fit 100% better than most "narrow" shoes. The build quality seems very good and the structure is good for hiking, walking etc... I do add an insert with arch support in all my shoes and did with these as well. I would highly recommend this boot for someone having trouble finding a narrow hiking boot. Love it!

I bought this boot in an 8 and after wearing it for several hikes, found it to be 1/2 size too small. Had to re-order the same boot in a 1/2 size larger. Very good ankle support and water proof.

Great fit for narrow feet - I wear a 10 AA and finding a narrow waterproof boot is really hard. A Zappos representative checked and found out that Asolo runs narrow. I decided to try a 1/2 size smaller and it fits perfect with a thin or heavy sock. I tried a 10 on at a store in town and it was too big without the heavy sock. So glad I decided to get the 9 1/2.

4th Asolo Boot I've owned - This is the 4th pair of Asolo's I've owned over the last 15+ years. I love the fit. No blisters at all, right out of the box. I wear a thin sock liner plus a heavier sock. I tend to have thinner feet also, and these work well for me. I think they're made on a female foot last, rather than a man's last, so they seem to fit better than most women's boots (which are just really small men's shoes). I wear orthotics, and you can remove the innersole and replace with your own. This is the first fabric type boot, so I'll be interested in the ankle support long term. So far, so good. I beat my shoes to death hiking; usually wear out the soles long before the uppers. The toe guard on this one looks to extend wear also. I'd never wear another brand's hiking boot!

Blisters galore - I love the fit of these boots, but my feet get really hot in them. I'm wearing hiking socks for wicking, but my feet just stay soaked and as such my heels have paid a high price for these boots. I've been up a couple of mountains in them so far, but my heels take at least a week to recover as all the skin just sloughs off. I really think they'll be good when it's cold out, but now I'm looking at something a little more breathable.

Fantastic light hikers. This is one of those rare boots that felt perfect the moment I put it on. I was looking for a light hiker with ankle support to fit my narrow feet. The foot bed has good arch support and it does not feel sloppy near the ball of my foot. I took these boots out of the box for a week hiking in Utah and had no troubles whatsoever. They are light with a bit of flex in the sole. The sole is grippy with excellent traction. Even while hiking through water and sand, they would grip when climbing rock. I wore the same sock combo that I wear with my wild land fire boots: a sock liner with a light/medium weight hiking sock and had no problems with blisters.

Good Fit and Comfortable- I got these boots after a recommendation from a hiking store employee took a look at my high arch and skinny feet. These boots fit great. I wear them all the time and love them and I am so picky. After going to the flagstaff REI store in Seattle, where they couldn't find a single boot that really fit me well, I felt pretty discouraged. I wandered into a little store in Port Townsend looking at their Vasque collection. My old standby was Vasque. I had never tried Asolo. I do always add my own footbed, one with a solid arch support. Asolo is my new old standby! I could buy 10 pair of these boots and just wear them out for the rest of my life and be quite happy. Unless they make them with a built-in GPS unit, these boots as they are will certainly suffice my needs for hiking and walking the Doberman in the fields.

Great hiking boots - I am really liking these boots. They are very comfy but without excessive cushion which I've found to make other hiking boots sloppy on the downhill. They've been stiff and stream line enough to fit in little pockets of rock for climbing up short rocky sections. They have good arch and ankle support. I just wish they had Vibram soles.
