Voted 5/5 | Outstanding Boot. I wear hiking boots on many Alpine and trad objectives. My average summit includes over 4000' daily gain. I wore Salmon ADV series for many years, but they changed the format, thus, I was in search of a new boot and tried the Asolo FSN 95 and they are decent for smaller days, but these Fugitives are for the real work. Narrow form is good for edging, gives good sensation on rock (not contragrip, but good rubber), it's rand and ankle structure take the beating I give them on descent., have a well defined snug lace system, not locking, but works as good. I was surprised how much more waterproof out of the box these appear to be vs the Salomon I used for so long. The tongue fits close and tight keeping debris out. I will be checking out Asolo from now on for mountaineering boots as well. Cheers! | | Posted May 25, 2005 10:05 pm |

Voted 4/5 | Excellent boot with minor hardwear problem. The break in period on this boot is mearly the few minutes that you wear them around in the store as you try them on. I have worn these boots wit ha load of up to 60 lbs on a 16 day trek across Tibet with terrain ranging from loose scree to thigh deep snow. They remained waterproof and I didn't experience even the slightest of hotspots. The hardwear problem I mentioned is with the lace hardwear. The metal eyelets tend to rub on the laces causing them to break. This has happened to me three times over the last six months I have owned these boots. Keep an eye on the laces and you will have many comfortable climbs in these boots. | | Posted Oct 30, 2005 2:27 am |

Voted 4/5 | Phenomenal boot. Light relative to other similar boots. You stay dry crossing streams and the sturdy toe box keeps you from banging your toes into roots and rocks. I can even climb 5.6 slab in these boots with their great sole.
On the down side, like all Goretex shoes your feet will sweat. Also, if you have narrow feet they seem to fit a little loose. Adding an insole definitely helps. | | Posted Nov 16, 2005 1:34 pm |

Voted 5/5 | I love these boots, I also think they climb well and are pretty durable. I didn't have any appreciable break-in period and they fit my "low volume" feet pretty well. My only gripe is I think they flex a little too much for optimal "strap-on" crampon usage. The cost is reasonable too.
I voted 5 stars because crampons aren't the primary usage for this boot. | | Posted Jan 25, 2007 7:05 pm |
| BSPclimber | Great boot! | | 
Hasn't voted | Got these recently. Did 7 miles in them on a fairly steep trail, very comfortable, much lighter than my old Raichle Eiger boots, excellent traction. Did develop a hot spot on the bottom of my big toe, but I attribute that to running down fairly steep switchbacks, probably would have happened with almost any boot. | | Posted Jan 29, 2007 7:10 pm |

Voted 4/5 | These are very well made boots. My only issue is with the Goretex. They are just to warm and my feet sweat. Next time I'll go for the cheaper, better breathers. | | Posted Mar 20, 2007 2:22 am |

Voted 5/5 | These things ROCK!!! They do just about everything including 5.6 scrambling and are very stable on long load hauls through boulder talus fields! They are light, well balanced and grippy. The only thing I recommend one do as soon as you get em is to seal the obvious stitching to protect it from any sharp boulders. I BARGE'd them and seems to have been the ticket! Another great product from ASOLO! | | Posted Aug 22, 2007 1:14 pm |
| steste | A good boot... | | 
Voted 4/5 | ...well designed with a great care of the particular. I wore them forthe whole day in soft snow and they remained dry.
A very interesting price too. My only complaint is about the internal finish. Maybe I was unlucky but the right boot had some small defect on the liner seam that caused me a blister. I had to correct it the by cutting a small piece of protruding fabric. | | Posted Nov 13, 2007 2:32 pm |
