Reviews & Ratings for Asolo TPS 535 V Backpacking Boot - Mens — 10 reviews — Page 1

This is my 3rd pair of these boots. I have always been happy with the durability and breathability of these non-GoreTex leather boots. The fit is just right for my foot with regular width and medium arches. With proper cleaning and water repellent treatment I get between 4 and 5 years before I have worn the soles down and the leather is still in good shape. My use includes 3 weeks of heavy backpacking, a few months of training hikes, year-round light hiking and about 5 months of daily wear each year.

I’ve had a pair of Asolo Fugitive GTX (GoreTex) boots for 15 years and they’re good as new. The sole is a little worn, but not a whole lot. GoreTex is great for waterproofing, but does lead to some heat build-up in boots that use it. Having moved to Texas a few years back, I wanted a leather boot that would cause the least heat build-up. Since waterproofing isn’t much of an issue here, I went with the Asolo TPS 535 V and have zero regrets.

Asolo is a consistently great brand. My biggest worry was that this Italian manufacturer might have slacked off since I bought my old Fugitives; they haven’t! The material and build quality, comfort and fit are still there and the boot is quite handsome, too.

Pro tip for the best fit: When lacing these boots up, I point my toes and arch my foot when tightening down the non-fixed laces. After I’ve hooked the first set of lugs, I relax my foot and point it down, then crank down the remaining two sets of lugs. This gives strong support to the ankle but prevents that top of the foot pain that comes from too tight laces down low. Give it a shot and you’ll be hiking for hours in total comfort.

These boots are just what I was looking for to replace the boots that I wore out after many years. They are extremely comfortable and fit perfectly even though I have very narrow feet. Definitely pleased with this purchase!

Es una bota de alta calidad , materiales de primera comodas y ajustan el pie perfectamente para evitaar torceduras. Altamente recomendadas.

Yep - this is my 4th pair. As a field geologist I need a serious boot. This is it. Rugged, lightweight, stable. None better.

great boots, great delivery time I really like these boots, these are the third pair that I have purchased, as there is no brake in time, they stand up well and last years even with the abuse I put them threw

I love these boots. They feel great and look great. They're a tad bit heavy but I'll take a few more ounces for the comfort.

These boots are so comfortable. I am on my feet all day and at the end of my 12 hr day my feet still feel good. Would buy them again!

This is a great boot, and I have a new pair waiting when I wear out the current pair. Comfortable, tough, and great support. Perfect for field work in rough terrain. The perfect field boot/hiking boot!
