Asolo Cholatse?

[Jens]

Anyone know if they are any good?

Anyone know anything about them at all?

How precise? how warm? how do they walk? etc.

It would be cool to see Asolo make a huge revival.

I just picked up a brand new pair on ebay for $130. So far, they are pretty good. I have the gore tex ones. Mine are sized on the small size, so they are super precise (deal was too good to pass up so I sized down 1/2 size more than I would have). They walk pretty well, quite a bit if ankle flex. Heel hold is awesome, which allows them to be sized down without risking hurt toes. My only complaint so far is the outer arch gives me a lot of pressure. I put in heat moldable Soles footbeds, but still feel pain. Hopefully my foot or the boot brakes in soon. I have this problem with most boots though, so I dont think it has to do with these boots. Also, they are a pretty light/thin boot, so not the warmest at belays.

Thanks trog.

Does anyone know, does the ones REI has in the Seattle store the Gore tex ones?

[TrogdortheBurninator]

The REI ones are Cholatse TH (thinsulate lined). The goretex ones are cholatse GV. I think Zappos.com has the GV.

Cool. How is the sizing ? Past experience with Asolo summits is that the US sizing is way off - my feet measure 9.5, and I usually wear size 10's; the summits in size 8 seemed right for me. Did it seem like the sizing was correct for the cholatse's ?

Sizing is off. I usually wear 10.5-11, mine are 42 2/3 (~9.5us equiv). Like I said they are a little snug, but still enough room to prevent any toe damage.
