I bought a pair of gortex REI brand boots about four years ago and they have served me pretty well for the small amount of money I paid for them. I thought I really liked my REI boots until I started wearing my new Asolo&#8217;s. There has been pretty much no break in period at all, they felt great the first time I put them on and still feel awesome a couple months later. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-Z9Bl4n0WCFQ\/TZsaApYCAfI\/AAAAAAAADfU\/YZ8bKe_E5jM\/s1600\/IMG_4320.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592091960719573490\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-Z9Bl4n0WCFQ\/TZsaApYCAfI\/AAAAAAAADfU\/YZ8bKe_E5jM\/s400\/IMG_4320.jpg\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 300px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here they are on my hike this weekend with Joe and Zeus:)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-YqMvhOz0cCQ\/TZsaSzDk9dI\/AAAAAAAADfc\/xUcAnjCvCcc\/s1600\/IMG_4325.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592092272555783634\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-YqMvhOz0cCQ\/TZsaSzDk9dI\/AAAAAAAADfc\/xUcAnjCvCcc\/s400\/IMG_4325.jpg\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The plastic toe cap may be my favorite feature of these boots.
