I bought a pair of Asolo FSN 95 GTX in 2012 and used them for about a week during a hunt in Argentina. After the hunt, I cleaned them well and stored them in the original box in a cool, dry place. I did not use them again until my Safari in Zimbabwe last June but after only three days use, both soles separated, one after the other. Fortunately for me, a member of our hunting party known here as "Pagosawingnut" had shown me where I could purchase a pair of Courteneys (they are made in Zimbabwe) and we stopped by the store just before proceeding to the hunting camp.l used the Courteneys for the remainder of the safari and they served me well with no breakin whatsoever.
After arriving home, I checked the Asolo website and found that their warranty for materials and workmanship was good only for a year. mad



I would have at least tried for a partial or full refund from Asolo, I bet that most boot companies have production runs with problems of the soles coming off, I have heard these complaints on lots of different brands. It's a darn good thing that I wear them out in about a year then,,, I wear them several times a week in rough stuff and have never had one separate but have had the soles fall apart on 2 different pairs of miendl boots, the ones with the cabelas label were warrantied by cabelas even though they were several years old and I received a complete refund, while the ones bought from AJ Brooks were not warrantied even though they were much newer. Miendl would not even help with repairing them.
