Hi Matthew,
Glad to hear back from you. I think you have a good OR here. I also have a pair Asolo all-leather boots and like them a lot.
Below are the edits I've found for you, in standard 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 the corrections, please repost to the list using as subject line

###Listed Weight (based on size 8 (US)): 1.5 lbs (690 Grams) per boot
###Weight as Purchased: 26.5 oz (751 grams) per boot
EDIT: the listed and measured weight should be given in the same units for easy comparison, so either change 1.5 to oz, or 26.5 oz to fractional pounds
EDIT: at BGT we usually say "Measured Weight" (instead of "Weight As Purchased")
###The Fugitive is a well stitched, full height boot
EDIT: "full height" is ambiguous, better to say "over-the-ankle"
###The lacing consists of round, nylon laces running first through a nylon loop just above the toe box then through four pairs of of metal loops.
EDIT: delete comma after round
###The outsole of the Fugitive is glued, not stitched, to the upper
EDIT: to the midsole
###The second pair (pictured) have approximately 450 mi (724 km) on them.
EDIT: has [modifies pair, so singular]
###provide lasting comfort over double-digit miles carrying up to 40 lb (18 kg) packs.
EDIT: I think you mean miles per day, so you'll want to make it say something like "...double-digit daily miles..."
###a rain storm while ascending Pike's Peak and wintry mixed conditions on Mt. Bierstadt and Long's Peak.
EDIT: Pikes Peak Longs Peak [here and below; no apostrophe in geographic place names, USGS protocol]

###The rubber toe cap provides added durability to an otherwise wear prone area
EDIT: wear-prone
###I would have no issue taking this boot on week long trips

Edit: You could also add "excellent water resistance", since you liked that feature
