Title: Lost my soles
Product review: Purchased these boots from a well-known hiking product store (has 3 initials, starts with an R).Was absolutely thrilled with the fit, the springiness, the hardiness of these boots. Wore them right out of the box without any problems. No complaints.I live way out in middle of low desert (16 miles in on a dirt road. And, although i don't hike dailyi do spend a lot of time outside--gardening, walking dogs, horse-back riding (i really don't recommend these for that), and modifying the desert surrounding my house.Three years after purchase the soles on the Asolos both separated from the boot--i mean at the same time. Was i ever upset! The uppers are in great condition!Prior to purchasing the Asolo's i bought a pair of Merrell's Avian. The exact thing happened to them. I paid $60 the Merrells but $200+ for the Asolos. Use on both was about the same and they both lasted about the same amount of time.Is is just me or are boots not being made the way they used to?
