Asolo Flyers are waterproof if you keep them away from water or rain
I just completed my second hike in my new Asolo flyer hiking shoes. I used a profoot insert because the Asolo liners were very thin and lightweight. With the inserts, the shoes were very comfortable and cushioned against the rocks on the trail. First hike was great. On the second hike, we hit rain/hail and wind (but NOT walking in water--only rain). My shoes stayed dry for about 10 minutes and by an hour into the 6 mile hike, I had water squishing my toes. Fortunately with the inserts, liner socks and Bombas wool hiking socks they remained comfortable (mostly) if you like squishing when you walk. I had to rinse them out when I got home--2 days ago and they are still drying out. NOT AT ALL WATERPROOF. They just moved into summer fair weather hiking only. Pretty false advertising for an expensive "waterproof" shoe! OH! The stupid round laces were nearly impossible to keep tied--even double knotted. Who puts round shoe laces on hiking shoes? Bad idea. Good thing they are comfortable. My first work boots were old leather Asolo that logged hundreds of working miles in wet woods and the desert. I miss the old Asolo quality.
Pros:
- Comfortable
Cons:
- NOT waterproof. Round shoelaces don't stay tied.
Best Used for:
- Fair weather hiking.
Would recommend: No
