I'm on my 6th pair of Asolo, 7th is already waiting in the box. I wear through the soles on a pair of these once every 2 years. I'm on my feet all day in rough/unpredictable environments.

Have you looked into resoling those? I get my red wings resoled. I can recommend a spot in Boulder  (rock and resole) that have done several pairs of climbing shoes  for me.

 

Don't know if asolo 's can be or not, but I hate ditching a perfectly broken in boot when a $150 resole can give me two more years vs $350+ for a new pair.

@mr.yuckI've been wearing this boot in particular as my work wear for about 10 years now.

I had Redwings (probably exactly like those) maybe 10 + years ago, probably one of the best work boots. They recommend them for technicians like myself because I'm regularly lifting 50 lbs. plus batteries, but I'm also putting in quite a few miles a day, stairs etc. and prefer the risk of wearing lighter boots.

My one beef with the redwings is they are heavy.

I'm a tech as well (if you couldn't tell by the coveralls) and a few things I really do like about the goretex redwings are they are waterproof and I find there is barely any break in for them.

We get a boot allowance and I'm thinking of switching it up for my next pair and going with Haix.

There's only one guy in the United States that re-soles Asolos well enough to be recommended, but he's expensive and in Portland. These hiking boots are almost like sneakers, it doesn't really make sense to resole them like a good danner/redwing or real leather boot.

Ive never tried on a pair of redwings before but have heard nothing but good about them. I went to a saddlery around my way and picked these muck boots about 3 years ago. 

 

@Mercerwhat is the price point on those Asolos? I like a lightweight boot myself.

Got them on Amazon for $168 on sale, price shot back up to $224 now for me.

 

2nd pair was a nice come up, they didn't deliver the 1st pair but had marked them delivered. I bitched about it and Amazon refunded, so I ordered again at the sale price. 2 days later the 1st pair I ordered finally arrived, then the 2nd pair arrived a few days later. Shout out to the UPS drivers that mark stuff delivered, then come through two days later with it after you've been refunded.

Keens are fucking baller...theyre tough

For the amount of walking I do each day, and the type of floor we have in the hangar, they are the best I have come across. With all the other brands and styles of work boots I’ve tried I ended up having sore joints and back at the end of the day, but not these.
