User Review: Asolo Men's Power Matic 200 GV

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $300

Summary

These boot work well and are comfortable for my feet. I've only had them a couple weeks, therefore can't give data on how well they'll wear over time.

Pros

  • Comfortable on first hike

Cons

  • sole may not maintain aggressive bite with wear

These boots fit my foot perfectly on my first hikes of just a couple miles off trail; steep loose rocky terrain with lots of debris and brush to tangle around the laces and toe of boot, they worked well.  

I recently had to stop wearing my Whites fire boots, which I used for most all outdoor activities, the logger heel was becoming to much for my knees to handle. Though I miss the stability the logger heel provides the Asolo boots work well and provided the relief I needed in my knees.  

I am concerned the these boots will have a relatively short life as the soles are not very thick or aggressive compared to what I'm use to (the Whites and a well worn pair of Asolo Yukons).  Both of which have been resoled more that 8 times combined.  

If the Power Matic boots last half as well as the Yukons and the Whites I'll be happy.  So far they provide the adaptations I need to keep on hiking.
