I have the ASOLO's
Matter of fact...they are on my feet right now. I have worn them in the jungles of Southeast Asia for the past three years. Heat, wet, funk, rot, mud, rock, clay...you pick it. If it is in the jungle...I have put these boots through it.
1.5 years into my tour, the toecaps cracked. Not all the way through, but as a piece of fiberglass would crack. This did not affect the "waterproofedness" of them but was "cosmetically concerning". I notified ASOLO of this and they offered a replacement pair free of charge and free shipping...I declined because my current pair were so friggin comfy.
Excellent comfort and ankle support without being exceedingly heavy. Break in time time was about 3 weeks and no hotspots throughout, but the cordura needed to properly "mold" to my foot structure for ultimate comfort.
Drying time was about 6-8 hours after sweat all day in 90 degree heat and 100% humidity...double that if they filed with water. The gore-tex stayed porous without ever seeming to loose it's ability to breathe.
Bottom line...great boots. $140 well spent. If I had to replace the pair I currently own, I would have no problem paying more for them.

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."
