While I have only had the Asolo Distance for a couple of weeks, I have been very pleased with the shoe. Usage has varied from extended time on my feet in an urban environment to scrambling and boulder hopping for the better parts of days. The fit for me seemed true, as I typically wear a 10 1/2 to 11 depending on the last and find my 10 1/2 to be comfortable and supportive. I have fussy wide-ish and flat feet , my "index toe" is longer than my big toe, and sport a narrow ankle. Guess what, the toe box fits fine! The sole is nice and sticky, the laces can be snugged up nice and tight, and the heel cup is comfortable (not too high or too low) and it keeps most crude out. I may have to scarf another pair of these before they are all gone!
