From Backcountry.com:
"Featuring a protective TPU rock plate and the revolutionary BOA lacing system, the light and fast Vasque Men's Aether Tech Shoe is literally dialed for trail running. High rebound inserts in the forefoot and heel absorb the pounding impacts of descending singletrack, while a dual-density EVA midsole stabilizes your foot on loose, unpredictable terrain. The one-handed BOA lacing system provides unmatched convenience when training or just tooling around, and makes quick adjustments a snap even in the middle of a race."
From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Vasque Men's Aether Tech Shoe (Fall 2009) Designed for fast-paced training runs and moving you to the finish line ASAP on race day, the 12 oz. Men's Aether Tech Shoe by Vasque walks the line between full-bore trail shoe and a lightweight trainer. Features: Upper: 1.2mm Synthetic Nubuck Leather Upper: Airmesh Nylon w/ Welded TPU Reinforcing Fabric Midsole: EVA w/ high rebound heel and forefoot inserts Plate: TPU Injected Nylon Textile Outsole: Vasque Aether Footbed: Dual Density EVA Weight: 1 lb 9 oz / 700 g"
From RockCreek:
"The Aether Tech Trail Running Shoe by Vasque is a shoe designed as a hybrid of sorts with its ability to be a solid, fast trail shoe while also being a lightweight trainer. An award winner from Outside Magazine, you know this shoe offers everything its supposed to plus more, with its high rebound heel and forefront inserts that keep your stride corrected and allows for less impact on the foot, creating less fatigue. A breathable Airmesh and Nubuck leather upper creates a nice ventilation letting your foot breathe as you run. The Boa Closure System creates a better fit with its continuous cable lacing system that eliminates pressure points that regular laces tend to provide. Simply crank the knob and you can quickly loosen, unlace, or lace and you will never need to stop to tie your shoe again costing you valuable time. The Aether also gives you great protection from stone bruising with its textile forefoot plates and rigid TPU shanks give you stability no matter how difficult the terrain"
From Altrec Outdoors:
"It doesn't matter whether you walk or run--Vasque's Men's Aether Tech Boa keeps pace with your changing needs. It's a sporty and versatile trail shoe that combines the essential support features of a training shoe with the durability and stability of a light day hiker. Beneath the stylish and cool, breathable Airmesh Nylon upper is a dual density EVA footbed and an innovative EVA midsole. Vasque added high rebound inserts along the heel and forefoot to help minimize fatigue and increase overall comfort. While many day hiking shoe designs add extra ounces with heavy reinforcement materials, Vasque takes a little off with a lighter TPU-injected nylon textile plate. Beneath the dual density EVA footbed and midsole is a low-profile, trail-ready Vasque Aether Outsole for excellent traction over a variety of surfaces."

After several weeks of shopping around, and inner debates, I happened across this new Vasque trail runner. I was pleasantly surprised at the immediate comfort! Always having a hard time finding a comfortable fit (and a long time Merrell fan) I was sold!
Therefore, I'm not on the cyber-soapbox to persuade you of the premium performance, but focusing on the basics: This shoe is the most comfy, lightweight, attractively designed shoe that I've ever been proud to show off!!
Cheers!.

Be warned, this shoe is technical. Not quite as technical as it could be, but it's not your average trail shoe - this is more for mountain running, adventure racing, multi-day etc."
