They are good for what they are (in my case, knocking around boots). Asolo is probably better quality, but also more $$$$. Always a compromise! I should say the sole may wear out faster than the uppers FWIW.

I was never aware that Hi Tech were high quality. I just purchased my first pair of Asolo’s about a month ago and they weren’t cheap. But they are super comfortable. I use the 10 year durability number. I still have a pair of Vasque Sun Downers that are over 10 years old. I feel that a good pair of boot should last at least 10 years. Maybe that’s asking too much but that’s what I am hoping for my Asolo’s. Thanks for the post.
