EDIT - Asolo Fugitive GTX Boot - Matthew Wilson

Hi Matthew, 
 

 Lots of good info on these boots, nice to find something that works well for you.
 I have some edits for you, in the usual BGT format:
 EDIT: must be changed
 Edit: should be changed but will be left to your discretion
 Comment: just that or something to think about
 

 When you've made your changes, please repost to the BackpackGearTest using the subject line

 I'll review your changes there.
 

 Regards,

 ###MSRP: $236.00
 EDIT:  US$236.00  (assuming you meant US dollars)  
 EDIT:  If you got the price from Asolo's site, I see that they list in Euros, so you'll need to mention that this is a conversion.  
 

 ###There are then three pairs of metal speed hooks that bring the laces to roughly 0.5 in (1.27 cm) from the top of the collar on the boot. 
 Edit:  (1.3 cm)   OK to round cm to nearest tenth, since hundreths won't mean much in this context 
 

 ###The combination of the speed hooks and the metal loop styled eyelets allow for quick adjustments to how tightly the boot is tied.
 Edit:  could leave it at "metal loop eyelets", since "styled" seems superfluous here
 

 ###Soles & Insoles
 EDIT:  Outsoles & Insoles
 

 ###The sole of the Fugitive is glued, not welted, to the upper 
 EDIT:  The outsole of the Fugitive  (to distinguish from mid- and insoles)
 EDIT:  Do you mean "not stitched"?  It'd be less ambiguous to say that instead of "not welted" because although welted soles are usually stitched, they don't have to be in some kinds of construction.
 

 ###The actual built-in insole of the boot, 
 EDIT:  The midsole of the boot,  
 

 ###I have put well over 1,000 mi (1,609 km) on this pair of boots (this is my second pair) overall. 
 EDIT:  "boots (this is my second pair)."  The pictured boots look awfully good for 1000 mi (both uppers and bottom tread) - just want to verify that you didn't mean 1000 mi for both pairs.
 Have you had the outsoles redone?  If so, readers would find that valuable info.
 

 ###Unfortunately, I melted the entire front of the boot off standing too close to the fire we started in order to stay warm. 
 EDIT:  move "off" to after "melted", which it modifies
 

 ###I used duct tape to wrap the sole of the boot back to the upper on the walk out the next day. 
 EDIT:  outsole
 

 ###Fast forward dozens of hikes later, I have spent a significant amount of time hiking areas of the Pemigewasset Wilderness and the Adirondacks. 
 EDIT:  need a better connection between the two phrases.  e.g. Fast forward dozens of hikes later, and I have spent
 

 ###Very shallow stream crossings are the only scenario where I have experienced internal dampness set in.
 EDIT/Comment:  setting in
 Can you write more about why just shallow water would cause wet feet, when the other more presumably severe conditions did not?
 

 ###This greatly reduced the warmth factor of the boot for me the next morning when putting them on.
 Edit:  "factor" seems superfluous here, can be deleted
 

 ###And the low profile of the boot allows me to handle some more technical foot work without feeling like I am all of the sudden
 EDIT:  all of a sudden
 

 ###It provides added durability to an otherwise wear prone area but it also aids in those situations when I found myself needing a bit more grip on wet ascents such as the Desolation trail up Mount Carrigain and several fast hikes up the the Spellman trail on Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire.
 EDIT:  wear-prone
 Edit:  Not sure how the toe cap helps on wet ascents or fast hikes...can you elaborate?
 

 ###I would have no issue taking this boot on week long trips into the backcountry 
 EDIT:  week-long
