Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"Thanks to Asolo's innovative Triple Power Structure technology, these backpacking boots supply superb stability, shock absorption and comfort. One-piece full-grain leather uppers break in easily and are abrasion- and water-resistant. Cambrelle nylon linings help keep feet cool. Foam footbeds and padded ankle collars enhance cushioning; Asoflex nylon supports provide protection from sharp edges and torsional rigidity. Midsoles feature high-density and low-density polyurethane layers for increased comfort. Three separate cyclinders in the outsoles absorb shock for a dynamic walking experience. Vibram rubber outsoles offer excellent all-terrain traction."

"I have a narrow foot and this boot fits incredibly well. My old boots (rest their soles) were hard to give up, but change was a good thing with these boots. Minimal break in time made for a several great hikes without foot worries of any kind. My weak ankles never felt unsupported for a week in the Frank Church."

"I first reviewed this pair of boots on June 23, 2007. Nearly four weeks of use and 85 miles they continue to impress. The lacing system is very effective and adjust well when tight spots turn up. No blisters and only one hot spot on the ball of my left foot that has been resolved by wearing two socks on that foot."

"I have long been a fan of Merrell boots since 1993 when I bought a pair in Sister's Oregon on a Monday and climbed South Sister on the following Tuesday. I had no blisters and no issues. I had the same experience with two more pairs until the last pair I bought three years ago for a Grand Canyon trip."

"An amazing boot. Comfy and no blisters. Great in mud and wet conditions, and sturdy support for scrambling and trekking.

BUT. . .
make sure they fit your feet. Although they may fit at first, I had issues with my baby toes. Like many boots made in Europe where feet are a bit more narrow, there wasn't enough room at the toe."

"These boots were comfortable from the get-go. Three season boots that served me well on backpacks and alpine ascents. However, after 5.5 years and following an October blitz up Grays and Torreys the sole seriously separated from the upper leather. I won't hesitate buying a second pair."

"Love the boots. I have been backpacking and horsing around in them for three years now. I exerienced minimal break-in and foot stress. Have one problem--the toe rubber comes apart from the boot far before the boot is worn out. I had another friend have the same problem w/these boots."

"I recently completed a month long NOLS course with these boots and can't say enough good things about them. I left having only barely broken them in having hiked 10 miles in them. Wearing them every day and averaging about 5 miles per hiking day, I never had a single blister with only minimal foot care (taping 2 hotspots for 3 days)."
