I am currently thinking of ordering the Asolo AFS Evoluzione as Asolos from what I hear are a little wider in the front of the boot with still a tight heel. I can return them if needed. What is everyone's opinion on these boots? Are they too warm to use for anything but winter or can they be used year round?
I want to do both mixed climbing, straight ice climbing, and climb year round. Please free to post your opinions and knowledge.

I was thinking I needed an all around boot that I could use year round when I first started but I found that with a lighter boot my feet froze in the winter and my feet were too hot in the summer in a heavier boot. It took me a couple of years but I have Sportiva Makalus (which I got first) for spring Ice climbing/mountaineering and summer mountaineering, and I have Sportiva K4S’s for winter ice. I even have a pair of medium weight Asolos for general backpacking. I guess what I’m getting to is there is no such thing as a winter boot that will be comfortable in the summer and vice versa.

Makes sense. What do you think the Evoluzione would be gear more towards temperature wise? Any suggestion on what would fit a foot that is a little wider around the little toe area with a somewhat narrower heel then average?
