All-purpose hiking/hunting boot?

[Newk]

Hi all,

I am traveling to Peru to trek the Salkantay path in late April. I’ve decided to invest in a superior pair of boots. Not a hunting trip but certainly will be utilizing mostly hunting/camping specific gear!

Current recommendations have led me to the Asolo TPS 520 GV Evo.

I am wondering if anyone has any experience with Asolo boots, and also how they’ve held up during long hunts.

I appreciate any insights.

I destroyed a pair of Asolo leather boots on a trip to Afghanistan……

These days I’m wearing scarpas, specifically the Fuego model. I have a few thousand miles on them and they are still going.

I don’t think I’d listen to anyone, boots are pretty personal. Find a pair that fits well and feels good to you.

i would go try on some of the nice european brands. I am currently using some Lowas and am happy with them in steep nasty country. I have tried a couple different flavors of crispi and my feet don’t like them. I do find myself grabbing my Hoka hiking boots more than anything else when I head out hunting. Nowhere near as durable as the Lowas but the comfort is worth replacing every couple years.
