Here's what other sites are saying:
From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Asolo Powermatic 200 Gore-Tex is the follow up to Asolo's highly regarded TPS 520. A new midsole design, improved ankle flex, and a refined fit. Generous toe box combined with a snugger instep fits more feet than ever- plus wide and narrow widths! Backpacker Magazine said it best in the 2006 Gear Guide- "Bottom line: an all around top performer and one of the best fitting full-grain boots we've seen" Asolo Powermatic 200 GV features: 2.2-2.8mm full grain leather uppers. Gore-Tex lining for waterproof and breathable performance. Powermatic sole uses three densities of PU strategically placed to optimize cushioning and stability. Micro-pulleys replace traditional eyelets to ease lacing. OMC Shoe Buyer says: Our stiffest all leather Backpacking/Off-Trail boot, the Powermatic is a true work-horse for those heavy loads across rough terrain. It's best for medium width and medium volume feet; unusual these days, but wide and narrow sizes are available."
From Campmor:
"Highly technical and one-of-a-kind, the Asolo Power Matic 200 GV GTX Hiking Boot's sole is comprised of three different PU densities that are co-injected and molded together. The high-density front portion secures and guarantees maximum stability. The medium-density heel reduces shock and resulting fatigue during take-off and landing. Further shock absorption is obtained through the four strategically placed low-density cylinders that are linked from the outsole to the midsole. Gripped with a dual-density molded rubber outsole produced in conjunction with Vibram, the arch area uses a very high-density rubber to maximize support over the long-haul while the balance of the outsole has self-cleaning lugs designed for optimum performance on varying types of terrain. Water-resistant full grain leather 2.6 - 2.8 mm. Gore-Tex performance comfort waterproof membrane. Asoflex 00 MR lasting board. Lite 2 anatomic footbed. Power Matic sole, triple-density PU midsole. Vibram dual-density molded rubber outsole with self-cleaning lugs for dependable, long-lasting traction. Patented Micro Pulley system offers state-of-the-art materials and components that offer effortless lacing with maximum durability while remaining extremely lightweight. Each pulley works independently with reduced lace abrasion, and the result is overall improved comfort and fit. Weight: 3 lbs. 4 oz."
From Backcountry.com:
"The Asolo Men's Power Matic 200 GV Backpacking Boot has a waterproof Gore-Tex lining and fatigue-reducing technology to keep you moving for your hardcore winter hikes. The Power Matic sole's front density gives you maximum support, and a heel density that reduces shock and fatigue. Cylinders throughout the outsole and midsole absorb jarring from your steps, so you can take on the trail and have more energy for the long haul. The waterproof Gore-Tex lining protects your feet from those soggy spring days, and provides high breathability for the long haul. A wide fit gives your feet more comfort without sacrificing support-less squashed toes and more stability."

A friend's boot blew out on the same trip and Philmont replaced them with lighter weight Vasque Wasatches, which he was happy with (he asked for minimal break-in boots since we were already halfway thru our trek)."

I have had these boots for 3 years now and they are still going strong even after putting a gash in the toe of my left boot with a chainsaw (OOPS).
These boots were perfect right out of the box. One day of wearing and off to the trails with no soars or any other problems."

As a three season hillwalking boot they are superb. It is no boast for me to say that mine have probably got more than 1000 miles on them, including hard scrambles and winter walking."

1st day out with a 50 lb pack we basically went straight up hill for 1200 feet of vert. Noticed that my heels were rubbing a bit, so I put on liners and put a piece of duct tape on the sock liners over the hot spot forming."
