The boot’s outsole package incorporates a mono density Eva midsole that provides excellent support, stability, cushioning, and overall comfort. This means whether you are trekking uphill or traversing rocky paths, you'll experience less fatigue.

User Reviews
These boot are almost like you don't have anything on your feet there so light and non bulky.the grip from the soles is almost to much at times sure footed like mountain goat.had this pair a couple of months wear them every day usually 8 to 10 hours.no issues what so ever
This is my second pair of Boots from Asolo. High quality so they last a long time. The boots a very comfortable.
My brother commented on the ones I purchased, so i bought him a pair. Light weight, comfortable & stylish. And they were on sale.
The way they saw the material from the base of your foot into the tongue they gather it and it creates a real hard area which pushes down on your feet when you lift them up. I do not recommend those but I do recommend the AsoloI recently bought three pair of Asolo Amazon you may wonder why it’s because they were so comfortable that when I wear them out, I don’t wanna have to try to find another style. This is what I bought.Asolo Landscape GV MM Grey Lime 11.5 D (M)
This is my third pair of Asolo boots of different models, I’m definitely hard on boots but the other two pair held up well over 2 years. These started leaking after 2 or 3 months and the soles started coming off around 5 to 6 months, I’m currently debating giving Asolo another try or trying to find a new brand. Asolo is supposed to have a 2 year warranty which when I contacted them they said that was just wear and tear and then called me back later and said they couldn’t do any thing for me because they were not purchased from an authorized retailer, I was super bummed out that they didn’t stand behind their product because I have been bragging on and encourageing these boots to my co workers since my first pair. Amazon made it right by letting me return them minus a $45 restocking fee but overall I had hoped better from Asolo, if I pay $250 for a pair of boots I expect more than 10 months out of them
This is my 2nd pair of Apollo boots. I have had my previous pair for over 10 years. They last a long time, are not difficult to break in and they are very light weight compared to others that I have owned. I wear a size 10.5 in tennis shoes. I purchased a size 11 in these boots because I want to wear thicker socks. They fit perfectly.
Great Boots, my only complaint is they look brown in the picture but are more of a greenish look in person, but other than that very comfortable, stylish and functional boots, overall satisfied with my purchase
Very well made last for years
