Flame on! Not like it matters, but the styling on this boot is pretty cool. While the yellow & orange (Grey/Aranthracite style) won't lighten your load on the trail, they may help draw attention to your stylish footgear… which may attract you to trail bunnies! All in all this is a good light hiking/short-haul backpacking boot. The rubber toe patch is worth the purchase just because no one else offers this anymore. They fit well out of the box and have good ankle & arch support. I'm a little worried about the grommets across the instep. They have a swivel feature that seems like it could break off if you bashed your foot into a rock really hard. The padding at the very top is on the thin side, so socks with padded uppers may be a good combo. The size was slightly larger than the Raichle boots I've been used to wearing. I would say it’s only a 1/4 size difference. Nothing the right socks can't address.
Asolo Attiva GTX - This was the only boot that was long enough that my toes don't slam the front going downhill and I was able to cinch them tight enough with heavy weight trekking socks that they were narrow enough. My first trip out with them was a 35 mile backpacking trip in Yosemite over Labor Day weekend. They worked out great! They are very stiff heavy duty boots. I love the Vibram soles and the Asobrake. They grip really well. I'd definitely recommend them.
-- Awesome boots - I've been wearing Asolos for years, every day, because I need the side support due to very flat feet. This new model is the best yet! No break in time at all, as comfortable as can be from day one. I add arch supports of my own, so I can't comment on the arch supports in the boots.

What width & size are you?
The general rule is that standard Men's width is D. For Women, the standard width is B. If most of the shoes you have purchased in the past have a comfortable width then go with the default.
If the shoes you are wearing feel overly wide, you should consider selecting a narrower width size. Shop For Narrow Shoes.
If the shoes you wear tend to feel narrow, then you should consider selecting a wider width size. Shop For Wide Shoes
If your feet seem "between" sizes and you cannot decide which size to select, we suggest you choose the larger size. You can make adjustments for a better fit with socks, insoles, or a different lacing pattern.
Try shoes on later in the day when your feet are at their largest.
Sizing Tips
The heel should not slip, the midfoot of the shoe under your arch and over the top of your foot should be snug but not tight; and you should have enough room in the toe area to wiggle your toes.
Women's feet often become a half-size (or more) larger after pregnancy.
Feet typically get bigger with age. People are more than twice as likely to buy a shoe that is too small than too big.
Boots are often worn with bulky socks, while sandals are hopefully not. Sizing may be affected with how much extra padding you have.
Heat makes your feet swell and cold may shrink them. Think about temperature when choosing sizes.
Fully utilize a the return policy by ordering multiple sizes, then keep what fits best and return the rest.
