The Aerios FL 2 GTX Men's is super comfortable shoe right out of the box. Perfect for light trail walks or as an approach shoe, in wet or dry conditions. Haven't worn them enough yet to really provide feedback on their durability, but all indications so far suggest they are very well made and will last for quite some time. Very happy. arcteryx.com.au

My other Asolo Boots were XC ski. Like those the Falcon EVO GVs are superior quality and value for the money. Wore out the Ozboz, Keen's etc and their quality went down. These are stable, light, and put a spring in my step. I'm 87, 166 #, and these are just right for the moderate trails here in coastal Maine, and just fine for Swiss style trails. I would not recommend them for the muddy rooted AT, Mike W · REI
