Are Asolo Hiking Boots a Better Hiking Boot? A review

In one word, yes, in our opinion Asolo hiking boots are today the best hiking boots money can buy. Asolo has been in the business for over thirty years now, and have been the industry leader for many of those years. Asolo boots are known for their light weight, which is imperative when hiking and carrying a heavy backpack. Asolo's are competitively priced for a hiking boot, normally in the one to two hundred dollar ranges, but well worth the price. They come with many different patented technologies that help provide excellent traction, grip, and breathability and they are all waterproof as well. Even though this is a hiking boot, they are just as comfortable as any sneaker I wear.

Asolo hiking boots are the best out there by far. Asolo has been the leader in the hiking boot industry since they started being made in 1975. Asolo has won many awards for their shoes and stand by their product. I have been hiking for over ten years now. I have worn many different types of shoes, but none more than the Asolo brand. I climb in many terrains, including mountains and rocky hills.

The Asolo provides me with the best traction out of any shoe I have worn. I personally wear the Asolo Revenge GTX, which I have found to be the one of the best Asolo branded hiking shoe. These shoes are very lightweight for a hiking boot, coming in at around one pound, six ounces. A big problem with competitors shoes are that they are very heavy and can be a pain when trying to trek up high grounds. They are competitively priced and usually cost a shade over two hundred dollars.

The Asolo Revenge GTX features three different technologies of which Asolo offers. The Matrix technology deals with the outer sole of the shoe. It provides Aso-brake technology, which allows for a great grip when you are coming back down the mountain. It also helps your overall grip when you are on uneven or rough terrains.

The Active Heel technology incorporates double injection technology which aid in heel control and shock absorption. There are many other technologies that Asolo provides in their different shoes that help in different things.

For example, the Power Matic technology has a triple layered sole that provides maximum comfort and stability. The Power Matic is also coupled with the Propulsion technology of the midsole to make this happen.

One other technology employed in many of the Asolo shoes are the Carbon Kevlar asoframe technology. Kevlar is the primary material in bullet proof vest, so one could see how strong that could be. The mix allows for a boot that is almost indestructible.

Asolo boots come in all different sizes, including kids, men's (up to fourteen) and women's (up to eleven). In my opinion the Asolo brand makes the best line of hiking boots out there, regardless if you are trying to climb up some hills in your area, or if you are going to be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or trekking the Himalayas.

Dear Millard, no offense to your review, but this is as bad an assessment of the hiking and backpacking boot offering that I've seen in some time. Either you are selling Asolos or they are paying you for this article. Here's some truth about Asolo: owned by a large multinational (Benetton Group), made in Romania (an Italian brand made in Romania, go figure), and technically deficient to some very good competition.

Whether it is Scarpa, La Sportiva or Zamberlan, Asolo takes a back seat to all 3. Of these four Italian brands, only Asolo doesn't make any product in Italy. You simply can't duplicate the quality of Italian raw materials and craftsmanship, just ask Vasque and their customers after they bolted from Italy to China.

In addition, the proven test results of these other brands relative to Asolo has been verified by more trusted sources, like Backpacker Magazine, who awarded the Zamberlan 965 Lhasa GT RR with its "Best All Around" backpacking boot, yes over your precious Asolos. I guess Backpacker like's Italian quality - not multinational, mass-produced, stuff it down your face, made by cheap labor, inauthentic boots like Asolos.

I don't have anything personal against Asolo, really, just your article praising them to no end. Does anyone read this and trust you? Get real.

The New Wave in Running: a review of the Mizuno Wave Rider 12

By: Millard Hiner | 28/10/2009 | Hobbies
The Mizuno Wave Rider 12 is one of the best running shoes I have ever worn. Being a consistent runner all my life I know what to look for in a shoe and the Mizuno Wave series has it all. They have a great sole which provides ultimate comfort and are shock absorbent. The outer sole provides even more shock absorption due to the construction of the rubber sole and this protection makes running much less a high impact exercise.
