Total collapse of ASOLO FSN 95
Many customers reported reliability problem connected with the wear of the sole in FSN 95. However, my case is just shockingly bizarre – during the 1st day of the trekking in French Alps the sole of the left boot started to degrade in the heel area and next morning the whole sole totally collapsed. During the day the right boot also collapsed, so I had to descend almost barefoot in emergency conditions. I tried to address this problem (total physical degradation of the both soles within 2 days of trekking) to Asolo, but my detailed report (with attached quality photos of the problematic areas) was unanswered, which means that the customer support in the company is just absent!

I am shocked by the company inability to react as much as by the quality of the boots (the piece of extreme sport goods, which we expect to be extremely reliable, as we put our security and even life on the bet when we are in the mountains)//
Caution!!! ASOLO sole degrades.

A similar thing just happened to me. I’ve had Asolo TPS 520 boots for about three years and walked maybe 300 or 400 km in them. They have been great boots except today both soles separated within an hour of each other during a training walk around the neighborhood, ahead of an upcoming trip to New Zealand. First the heel on the right boot loosened so it flapped a bit. An hour of walking later the left boot sole separated almost completely, with only the toe still attached. I was about 15 minutes walk from home; it was quite difficult walking and it would have been catastrophic if I was in the wild with a couple of days walk ahead. By the time I got home the left sole had also completely separated except for an inch or so at the front. Examining it at home, the bonding material between the sole and the boot was perished and crumbling. Now I have just a week before leaving for NZ, so I have scrubbed away as much of the perished sole adhesive as I can, and re-bonded the soles with contact adhesive, and will try them out over the next few days to see if they look like holding up. Will also bring extra a
