tbunch Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) I pulled my Asolo AFS 103's off the shelf, doing a gear check for the upcoming season like we do, and, well, just look at them. [img:center]http://people.omnigroup.com/tom/images/BootsForSale.jpg[/img] I can't believe it! They're barely even 25 years old! Do you think Dave Page can do anything? Would you like to buy them, cheap? Ok, I guess it's time to check out that new Gear Deals section we have. I think I'm looking for a good boot for slogging up volcanoes that can make the crossover to moderate ice if you'd care to nominate one. Edited October 13, 2016 by tbunch Quote
Bronco Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 That's ridiculous. Have you contacted Asolo to check on the warranty? I'd call an attorney and get a suit filed ASAP! Quote
DPS Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 I am giving away a pair of Scarpa Invernos with Inuition liners. Size 9-9.5. They are used, but by the looks of it in considerably better shape than yours. Let me know if you are interested. Quote
wdietsch Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 years ago I bought a pair or AFS 101's .... for "plastics", turned out to be the biggest pieces of shit I'd ever owned. Took'em back to REI and picked up some Koflach Arctis Extreme's .. best pair of plastics I have ever owned Quote
olyclimber Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 they look fine. just a little duct tape, will be better than new. Quote
tbunch Posted October 14, 2016 Author Posted October 14, 2016 Oh, thanks for the offer but that would require painful surgery! My current plan is to go out and win the lottery, then buy some La Sportiva Nepal EVO GTXs. The 103s are in the trash. If anyone wants to dumpster dive I'll give you the address. Quote
DPS Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) What size boot do you wear? I will happily hook you up with a free pair of plastics, if they are your size.

tbunch Posted October 14, 2016 Author Posted October 14, 2016 What size boot do you wear? I will happily hook you up with a free pair of plastics, if they are your size. Men's 12.5/46. I'm waffling a little bit about where I want to fall on the comfortable for approach/skiable/technical climbing spectrum. My life would need some major reconstruction before I'm doing anything very technical in them. Quote
DPS Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Hmmm, might be a tight fit. My boots are a large size 9, perhaps 9 1/2. I would have thought it would be easier to give a pair of boots away, especially ones with $150 Intuition liners AND green Superfeet insoles. Quote
