rikspi Posted February 3, 2002 Posted February 3, 2002 Does anyone know where I can buy Asolo plastic boots. Thanks Rick Quote
Ade Posted February 3, 2002 Posted February 3, 2002 Marmot store in Bellevue has them. They evn had some reduced a few weeks back. Quote
Steigerman Posted February 3, 2002 Posted February 3, 2002 Second Ascent in Ballard used to have a bunch of slightly used ones. Most of them were in good condition and they're already broken in. Quote
Lambone Posted February 3, 2002 Posted February 3, 2002 Ummm....how the fuck do you break in plastic boots???? If you know please fill me in, thanks. Quote

The liners will break in considerably, this is why you want to size the shells without the liner on. Pretty much all you have to do is wear them around. As far as the shell goes, there usually isnt too much breaking in that can be done really. You can remedy some fit problems by manipulating the shells, but in the end, most plastics are just plain stiff. My $.53 Shawn Quote
specialed Posted February 8, 2002 Posted February 8, 2002 I bought a pair of used newer Asolos from 2nd ascent. They suck. The shells pinch my ankles becuase the liners are thin and crappy. Like they tried to make super light weight liners so the boot would be light but it just doesn't work. You can't lace up the liner either so the tongue migrates and that contributed to more ankle pinch. I think they're way beat, but maybe they'll work for your feet.

adr_901 Posted February 8, 2002 Posted February 8, 2002 I have a pair of mens 8 I will sell cheap. They are Asolo expeditions. They are in great shape. I use only leathers now Quote
ruddersbox Posted February 9, 2002 Posted February 9, 2002 ebay has some pretty nice stuff right now... Quote
rikspi Posted February 10, 2002 Author Posted February 10, 2002 Thanks, I picked up a pair of Asolo Ottomila's @ Second Ascent. They seemed brand new and I paid 200 beans so I was happy. Thanks for for the info. Rick Quote
