Sierra - $115
Campmor - $150
REI - still full price at $170.
This is the third pair of Asolo FSN 95 I've bought. Very comfortable right out of the box. Never had one blister. Feet stay dry. Best part, warm water, a soft brush and the boots clean up to almost new looking. My only concern, my second pair's soles wore down quicker than the first ones. (I have gained some weight since the first pair. Could be a factor. I still have the first pair I use out on the farm.)
Always pays to research. Tips for purchasing boots.

Nice! Here's the brand I wear... not that I've been putting them to much use lately -> Wild Texas Gear Shop: Footwear: Women's Vasque Sundowner Classic GTX 07141I've had them for a couple years, now.
If you're wondering about the Gear Shop, it's a work in progress & will get announced formally and linked up throughout the site when it's ready to go 100%. Feel free to shop in and buy from it -- it's supported by Amazon.com, who handles all the order processing, payment processing & shipping; we just get a small (very small) cut of each sale made, which helps defray things like license upgrades for the various software running here on WildTexas.com, as well as the monthly web hosting fees and such.
