I have two pair of ASOLO's, 1 pair of Raichle's, and a pair of Vasque's. Wife has a pair of Raichle's as well.
Tremendous footgear on all counts.
This latest pair of ASOLO's is by far the most comfortable for me (so far). If I would have paid full price, I would have been satisfied.
My Vasque's are the oldest at 12 years-the intereior of the heelcup has worn through and the boots look like hell, but the otershell and gore-tex is still intact and doing great.
The Raichle's are also ver strong boots, though a bit stiffer through the break in process-they will certainly last me many years

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."
