I bought a Pair of Asolo leather/Goretex boots that are quite comfortable. I have been wearing them for increasing lengths of time to get them broken in, which I think they pretty much are now. I just wish it would warm up a bit so I can spend some time outdoors without worrying about freezing to death....

Asolo's always made really nice boots. I used to covet my sister's Yukons (I think they still make these). Asolo's lasts never quite fit my feet so I've always had to admire from a distance.
These are my first Asolos and I'm sorry I didn't find them years ago. Fit of course is everything and they feel as if they were made just for me.
Asolo made some excellent XC ski boots at one time.

Ol' Drew Wiley was a man,
Yes, a big man!
With an eye like an eagle
And as tall as a mountain was he!

Old' Drew Wiley was a man,
Yes, a big man!
He was brave, he was fearless
And as tough as a mighty oak tree!

From the coonskin cap on the top of ol' Drew
To the heel of his custom built shoe;
The rippin'est, roarin'est, postin'est man
The intertets ever knew!

Ol' Drew Wiley was a man,
Yes, a big man!
And he opined for America
To make all Americans see!

What a Drewer, what a do-er,
What a dream come-er true-er was he!

There's mosquitoes on the river, fish are rising up like birds. It's been hot for seven weeks now, too hot to even speak now, did you hear what I just heard?
Thanks. I'm not big, I'm medium. I do own a real coonskin cap, just like a lot of little boys did growing up in the 50's, but it's safely stored away in a cedar chest
for someone. I did own a real flintlock and powder horn, with quite a family battle history behind it. But that has already been passed on to younger relatives. I
did visit Virginia once, and my sister had a landscaping business there while her husband worked in the state department. We both had the same reaction when
the locals asked us is we were going to drive to the mountains to see the sights. "What mountains???? Oh... that.... thought those were gopher mounds."
They say a grizzle bear once died at the mere site of his size-80 custom boot, he did.
Sorry, I have unusually small feet. That fact made me a bit suspicious of when my nephew gave me, for a birthday present, a pair of absolutely huge crampons,
which coincidentally happened to fit his own huge feet. Naturally, he asked if he could "borrow" them the next weekend. But Paul, if you want to properly converse with hill people, at least learn to spell died, as "dide", and to pronounce bear as "bahr". I know, I know... you're used to the Brooklyn pronunciation: "beah".
