across 4 reviews
4.0/5
divided
Reviewers praise
  • Vibram Evo outsole grips well on wet rock, mud, loose gravel, snow, and technical terrain
  • Gore-tex liner keeps water out reliably; nubuck leather sheds rain
  • Durable construction holds up to daily wear over multiple years
Reviewers push back
  • Break-in period of roughly ten miles causes toe-box compression and initial stiffness
  • Waterproof membrane traps heat; breathability is poor
  • Toe box width measures only three and a half inches, limiting splay
Reviewers agree the Renegade GTX Mid is a durable, grippy, waterproof boot with excellent traction that requires break-in and runs warm.
— best for: Backpackers carrying heavy loads who hike in wet conditions and value long-term durability over initial comfort should buy this boot.

On Renegade GTX Mid: One reviewer felt no out-of-box comfort and needed ten miles to break in; another called it comfortable after just a couple miles

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 have put in a hundred miles or so at this point and here are a couple of observations. - There is a break-in period. These boots are stiffer than what I'm used to and took awhile to loosen up. But I can now put in 10-15 miles without comfort issues. - The traction is incredible. I'm very impressed. Snow, loose gravel, slickrock. They excel on all. - So far, snow seems to just fall off the boots Curtis M · backcountry.com
