Great boot -
Love the boots. Stiff, rugged, old school hiking boots. Very comfortable so far but they are not all the way broken in. I have not done any serious hiking yet. They seem to be well made but time will tell.

Matic 200 GV -
By far the best pair of boots I have owned. Comfort, fit, and finish are all 10 out of 10. I have got about 30 miles on them and they didn't seem to need any break in time. Comfortable from the first step.
Other brands recommended by reviewer: None. Buy these.

Good looking comfort.
One of the finest pair of boots that I have ever owned. I have a lot of problems with neuropathy in both of my feet caused by tarsal tunnel syndrome. My feet bother me all of the time and if I do not have shoes on that are supportive and comfortable I cannot wear them. My new Asolo boots are probably one of the most comfortable that I have been able to find. The fit is perfect and the support is definitive. I would recommend them to anyone.

Best boot I've ever owned -
No break in. Tread works like glue on ice and snow. Already saved me from a fall on ice. I have a high arch and this is the only boot I can wear as it came from the factory. Size is perfect with a medium weight sock like Smartwool Phd.

Simply, a good boot -
It's not the best looking boot in the world, but then again, when is a boot 'good looking' and do you buy a boot that is good looking or do you buy it for more practical reasons?
This Asolo creation has become a stock feature in my day to day life. I found I needed very little breaking-in time; movement in the boot was fluid and smooth and the 3/4 shank has proven to be a godsend when walking on the hills or with crampons on. I'm 6'2" or 187cms and found the weight of the boot to be immaterial to a days work. I feel the pulley system of the laces is a good improvement but that the laces themselves are or can feel rather thin and I am concerned that they will break on me at the wrong time. Waterproofing- 100%, so far. Quality of workmanship: very good. Tread: deep. Boot itself: very supportive on the ankle. I bought the advertised size for my feet and have had no problems.

I do a lot of hiking and outdoor work on my property and have been wearing these boots for several years now. You cannot find a more reliable and comfortable performer no matter what the price.

ASOLO Always delivers!
I know I have a pair boots that will last for years to come. I live in an alpine environment where weather can change without notice, and these boots have already proven their mettle. Size was right on point, and the wide boot fit just right. The description was also accurate in stating that the sole construction actually propels your gait. Best shoe purchase in years!

I want more rain and tougher terrain -
Bought these for a weeks trek in the mountains of Germany and they did wonderful. Wore them a few days prior to break them in, but not sure I needed to. They kept my feet comfy and dry in spite of summer downpours almost daily. Plus, no worries about trail hiking or slippery rocks.

Still Breaking in -
I've worn these boots for a few weeks now, and bought them specifically to do hiking on wet, fairly flat, river bank trails. I wore them for a couple of weeks to break them in, and then went on my first 13 mile walk last week.
Sadly, the leather above the toe lost its finish within a few days of normal wear (I think I have my feet under my chair when I sit so the top of the toe is touching the floor). But that was cosmetic.
Happily, the boot is strong, and fits nicely. The toe is sturdy and the tread is deep. The laces are just fantastic in tightening. I'm looking for an insole after my first walk as the balls of my feet hurt. This is probably due to inadequate breaking in? Size was good, and I have a normal width foot. The color was a little different, but looking back at the image I see why I assumed they would be greyer. I ordered black.
Overall nice boot, and glad I forked out this much cash for it. My previous boots were Timberland and Caterpillar.

Width wise they run about two sizes smaller than stated. While an OK boot, only about one half as good as Outdoor books write them up to be.

Finally!!
Excellent support, lace system is the best I have used, quality is top notch, and they are as water proof as my rubber waders. Broke them in on a 9 mile summit hike in the winter with no hot spots or blisters. With proper socks these can definitely be 4 season boots.

Good stuff -
I love this boot...so far I've been hiking with them about four times. They have great support and are the most comfortable shoes I wear. The boot helps you walk! It sounds strange, but it actually propels you forward. It's worth the dough even if you are not using them for hikes or trails...I go everywhere with them.

GREAT BOOT -
This is a fantastic boot for people who appreciate technological advances in foot ergonometry and a newly available wide size. The pulley system evenly distributes frontal lacing and the upper lacing can cinch comfortably to a narrow heel, without sacrificing a uniform fitting. Therefore, assuring that the heel does not ride upward with every step because this shoe also has an additional European internal forward slant enabling sure-footed counter balancing upon each forward step. Thus, your foot step lands firmly, and flatly, on the ground. Similar to Danskos’ technology for proper posturing. Great when on ice and snow - just wear proper socks, no cotton. This boot will be appreciated by those who climb, backpack, hike, or just enjoy a proper fitting boot from a company which started in the 1970s.

I purchased this boot for three season hiking plus some moderately cold winter hiking. The boot is excellent; it locks your heel in place and provides excellent support all around making for superior footing in tough situations.

Prayers answered!
Let me start by stating that I have to very young & very energetic Labrador Retrievers that love to run, swim & hike all over New England. Even though we are not taking on the summit of Mt. Everest we do get out daily for an average of 10 to 20 miles a day. We can be anywhere from the shore of Cape Cod to the Hills of the Berkshires or the White Mts. of N.H. on any given day. These boots were very comfortable right out of the box and continue to be. Arch support was my #1 concern and these have very good arch support. For personal reasons I did add arch inserts a little latter on as I have blown mine out in the past with other hikers. These boots are not heavy or bulky and the stand up very well to all the hazards & conditions that come our way. They remain waterproof after numerous times hiking through streams, making our way through swamps and encountering many bogs. Hiking & climbing with them I don't feel as if I'm wearing cinderblocks just so my feet could be protected against the elements. I have been very pleased with these boots! Prior to these Asolo PM 220 GV's I was very concerned that I would not be able to find a dependable, comfortable and weather proof hiker that would allow me to keep sharing the great outdoors with my four legged boys! The basement stairs were full of hikers that were drying out and on their last legs before the trash. They even look decent and clean up nicely.

A nice hiker despite clunky look.
After the first few miles on their first hike, I knew this boot would be a winner. They have a nice "stride" to them. They "feel" lightweight and nimble despite their somewhat clunky look (probably because of the near-black color. Maybe they'll be offered in a brown color someday. Although they weigh in rather "heavy-ish" they don't feel "heavy".
They insulated my feet well from the rocky, rough trail without that cumbersome, clunky boot feel. They have excellent ankle support too.
Lacing is excellent, too.
Traction is good on wet rocks, not great.
They proved their water-proofness in an afternoon thunderstorm.
Had some heel blister beginnings on the left foot after mile #7, but replacing that boot to take the pressure off the heel solved the problem.
Not cheap, but they perform and act the price.

Awesome boots -
I've been wearing Asolos for years, every day, because I need the side support due to very flat feet. This new model is the best yet! No break in time at all, as comfortable as can be from day one. I add arch supports of my own, so I can't comment on the arch supports in the boots. Also, Zappos is the best! Easy to order, and on my feet 2 days later!

Asolo -
Superior construction, great fit with the unusual size of 13.5. I didn't know that was the perfect size for me but there you go.
Definitely a slimmer fit which is what I need with a 13 narrow foot, and the pulley lacing system is the most incredibly easy system I've ever seen.

Asolo's Power Matic 200 GV -
Right out of the box the comfort was great! Very little break in, if any at all. So far, I haven't been able to use them under a load on the trail; however, around town comfort has been superior to any other boot I have worn. I did add a SuperFeet insole for added support.

Ready to go ...
I agree with the other reviewers; while these are a bit more expensive than their peers, they are a great pair of hiking boots that justify the higher price. The fit is great, they broke in right away, and most important they make hiking (loaded or unloaded) very easy. They are a narrow shoe; so if you are on the normal to wide side, you might consider going wide. I bought the wide version and they fit my size 14 foot perfectly. My only complaint, if it is one, is that the grips on the bottom are designed for forward motion rather than gripping. In other words, it is a great shoe when hiking defined trails as opposed to a shoe designed for trailblazing.

Great Hiking Boots -
Fit is great, if not slightly on the narrow. Took them winter camping recently where it was in the single digits at night. Provided good insulation, and we walked right through a near frozen stream without getting any water - airtight for sure. Took a few days to break in comfortably. Definitely buy a half size larger to fit two pairs of thick socks if you're planning on using in cold weather. Go for wide if you're not sure. All in all a great boot - walked 15 miles in them on my first trip.

Boot guy says...two thumbs up!!
Not much time to write a review...will say these boots fit awesome. Not many manufacturers have a boot of this weight that requires so little, if any, break-in time. Turning around and buying a second pair soon. The "4" rather than a 5 star on looks...just used to a lighter colored boot but with a fit like this boot (and amazing quality) I'll live with a bit darker boot no problem!
(Hike and rock climb all over the USA)

Boots were true to size with outstanding support. Comfortable right out of the box with no break-in required. The micro pulley lacing system works great. The powermatic sole works as advertised absorbs shock with good traction. A bit expensive, but worth every penny.

Finally, The Best.
I was looking for a black trekking boot for about 2 years now. Well this is not exactly black... but quite close. The Dark graphite color is almost black but now that doesn’t care.
These boots are AWSOME, comfortable, good looking not to heavy.
If you want a nice shoe to go out and explore, maybe go to work and to be a companion on your trips, this is the one.
By far the best boot ever.

 |  | You guys are amazing! I ordered some shoes late Sunday night, and Monday I received an email that you were upgrading my order from standard shipping to special priority processing, at no cost to me. This morning I received an email that the shoes are on their
way. Your culture of doing more than the customer expects is what makes shopping at Zappos.com such an enjoyable experience. I am currently redesigning a customer service
training program for 200 staff in a department at a large university, and Zappos.com will be one of my models. You do everything right. Thank you for being so great to do business with.
