Asolo sasslong boots size 45 (UK 10.5)
Posted: Tue 11 Jun, 2013 10:13 amHi,
I have these boots for sale - rarely used, i realised when breaking them in that they are about 1/2 a size too short for my foot.
They have a stiff last (can't twist the sole at all) with a small amount of flex in the toe and a rockered sole. The sole is vibram with dense cushioning - unusually comfortable step for such a stiff last and the sole is narrow - so quite a nimble boot. Very good for edging on rocks.
The uppers sport 2.2 mm thick leather and a goretex bootie, the upper was easy to cinch firm to lock the heel in place. The upper has foam that extends around the ankle for protection from rock pinching - so would be ideal for those off track or rocky walks. It has a deep heelcup that suits a narrow australian heel. The boots are a wide fitting, but this is an 'Italian wide' so in reality they are an australian medium fitting. In terms of the fitment, this is definitely a 'short' size 45 boot. I actually think that they would suit a size 44 foot or a 45 with a more curved forefoot. They felt great in the shop but after a few weeks of wearing in.....
Anyway here's the link for bogong's website, if you want photos of the actual boot let me know but they are in prety good nick.
$140 ono.
