[pct-l] Asolo sunset shoes

[nina zaikina]

Hey guys, does anyone has experience with Asolo Sunset hiking boots?
 I've been wearing them for a year now and they are really comfortable. The
only drawback I've found so far is a rather thin insole that I'm planning
to replace for my JMT section hike. Today the REI representative have tried
to scare me off, telling that this is a poor choice of footwear for JMT
terrain. Any thoughts?
My backpack base weight is around 15lb, total weight around 30lb on a first
day
Thanks
Nina
