Asolo "Plastic" Boots

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Mountaineering : One Thread

I'm looking for some feedback on Asolo "plastic" boots (the ones made with pebax). Specifically I'm debating purchasing the Asolo AFS Ottomila. So if you have any feedback (positive or negative) on that particular model, that would be great. However, even if you don't have feedback on the Ottomila's, I wouldn't mind feedback on any other models of Asolo plastic boots. My major concern is the lack of a sole rocker in Asolo's. I am concerned how this might affect approaches and general mountaineering. So in addition to any feedback, if you could include your feelings about the lack of a sole rocker, that would be great. Thanks. (P.S. I have medium volume and normal width feet).
