Asolo Fugitive? (or Salomon Quest)

[Timberninja]

I'm looking at a lighter boot for day trips, scouting and all around use. I had my mind set on the Salomon quest but then came across the Asolo Fugitive GTX. I've had a chance to try the salmon and I like it (great support considering weight). That said, I came across a good deal on the Asolo (similar weight, support) so I thought I'd check if someone has any experience with them?

Thanks in advance!

The Quest and Sassalong fit me great, but the Fugative killed my heals. All 3 are great boots, so just make sure and get the one that fits best.

Interesting, was just reading reviews on a backpacking site and the heel issue came up a couple of times. Seemed the issue was a pressure point on the heel for some folks. Did you feel it right away or was it after a couple of miles?

Yes I did, but I'm prone to heel issues.

I have the quest and love those boots for summer scouting and when I am not hauling 60+ pounds.

Thanks guys, I'll try both but leaning towards the quests!

You also might want to check out the Zamberlan 230 SH Crosser. I have been trying to find a pair to try myself but can't find any locally yet. The reviews I have seen so far are very positive and I think they would compare to the others you've mentioned.
