Careful here, you need to make sure they don't have a polyurethane midsole. These make walking super comfortable but dry out and crack after 5-10 years. They are impossible to repair, you need to send them back to asolo in Italy for resoling (not cheap), though I believe there's a guy in Virginia you specializes in this repair also.
My old pair was amazing until both soles cracked on a 5 day backpacking trip, leaving my feet very wet. Now have hanwag boots and absolutely love them
