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

I wear Lone Peaks for pavement walking in NYC and they're the perfect sneaker for that. I got the dark purple ones but they're more eggplant in real life. Still nice, but the photo wasn't quite accurate in terms of color. They're still the more stylish lifestyle option even though they're not technically lifestyle shoes. Overall, great fit and comfort straight out of the box. altrarunning.com
