From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Asolo Men's Power Matic 200 GV (Spring 2008) The Men's Power Matic 200 GV Boot by Asolo is a rugged yet hi-tech Gore-Tex lined leather hiking boot. The new Asolo Power Matic 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 mid sole 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. Specifications: Upper: Water-resistant full grain leather mm 2,6-2,8 Inner Lining: Gore-Tex Lasting Board: Asoflex 00 MR Anatomic Footbed: Lite 2 Sole: Power Matic.

"Excellent for what they're made for, medium load all around hiking. They are not beefy enough to handle heavy loads or really ruff terrain, but everything up to that they are sick. Extremely comfortable, little or no break in period, very durable, great traction."

"Fresh out of the box, I used these boots to climb up the "hardest trail" on Mt Washington in NH - the Huntington Ravine Trail. The entire up and down resulted in about 9 miles and I was carrying a pack weighing 22 pounds.

At first, I was wearing Smartwool light hiking socks."

"I love these boots. I got them for a 14-day NOLS trip. The break-in time for this boot is little to none. Immediately they were comfortable. They are also durable as ever, mine have been through it all, rivers, rock fields, etc. . . and they are still kicking."

"This may be the most sturdy and immediately comfortable boot I have ever owned. However, the rigid heel cup resulted in severe blisters on every trip over 4 miles even after 50 miles of break-in and expensive leather treatment. I tried lots of stretching and pounding to get the heel cup to retreat so it didn't rub my achilles tendon area."

"If you want a waterproof, full grain leather boot that is comfortable with a capital C, then this is your boot. I searched far and wide and did lots of homework before I got these. This is one of those times when I got what I paid for, which is a highly versatile great looking boot that performs."

"These are awesome hiking boots. I have had mine going on two months now. They have seen about 65 miles of the App Trail and five miles or so of street use. They have great support and feel good. The pulley system for the laces works very well.

The only complaint I have with these boots was the break-in period."

"I've had these boots for a week now and I needed them immediately for my hobby (outdoor photography). Now, we do not have the Sierras here in Indiana but we have miles of trails, some rocky areas and lots of mud, water run-off and general brack to trip through and in the last week I've put these boots through all of it and covered about 20 miles of trail and off trail hiking right out of the box."
