From REI:
"Waterproof protection and lightweight support combine in these innovative hiking boots built with Asolo Power Matic technology. Water-resistant split-grain leather and Cordura nylon uppers deliver durable flexibility and support while remaining breathable. Seam-sealed Gore-Tex liners deliver complete waterproof protection while allowing ample breathability for comfort in wet conditions. Padded and gusseted tongues keep out trail debris and moisture while relieving pressure from laces. MicroPulley patented lacing system allows efficient performance for easy pulling, reduced abrasion, and improved fit and comfort. Scree tongues and padded cuffs add protective comfort at ankles and shins. Wicking nylon linings absorb and disperse excess moisture for fast drying. Removable footbeds add cushioning and comfort to one-of-a-kind Power Matic midsole technology. Power Matic midsoles use triple-density polyurethane, co-injected in key areas for superior stability, shock absorption and supportive performance. Asoflex thermoplastic supports provide torsional stability and control while protecting against impact and bruises on rocks and uneven terrain. Durable Vibram outsoles with high density arch area and high-traction forefoot and heel areas tracks easily through rough and steep terrain."

"Awesome boots!!! I bought a pair of these to replace my favorite Merrell boots. I was used to lighter boots but started getting sore heel bones with a 47 pound pack. These boots require a longer break in period and you should wear a good quality liner sock and mid to heavy hiking sock."

"This is a top quality crafted boot with great balance, so they don't feel heavy at all. You can run in these babies. 45lb pack, no problem. The toe is shipped with a bit of curl. They make you want to walk forward, with a rolling action. This is nice."
