I used these snowshoeing brand new out of the box. Very comfortable! Wish I could get away with wearing them everyday in Orange County. I tend to twist my ankles easily, these give me enough support so that I won't. Combined with snowshoes they were really heavy. Love them anyways.

hike & sno shoe mountain terrain live in NH where there are many mountains rivers & lakes, so putting those all on the list, makes for a great pair of hiking boots, I have to say a bit hard to drive a standard just switch shoes for that app. Also purchased these because of the great reviews, and the sizing in which the customer service person helped with def. true to size.

Comments about Asolo Power Matic 200 Gore-Tex Hiking Boots - Women's:

I don't usually write reviews, but wow, these are great boots! Their first use was on a hardcore backpacking trip through the tundra in inland Alaska this summer. We walked through tons of wet terrain and I even slipped into some creeks and my feet stayed dry!
Although the price was higher than what I wanted, they were so comfortable and met my need to keep my feet dry and warm, so I bought them. I also have hard to fit narrow feet. So glad I did. The pulley system for the laces work great to keep them comfortable throughout my hikes.
The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is that I got a nasty blister on one foot. I expected it though, because I didn't have time to break them in. On the other foot I wore a bandaid for a preexisting cut, and didn't get a blister there, so I would suggest wearing heel bandaids to break in.
The classic look even got some compliments.

Comments about Asolo Power Matic 200 Gore-Tex Hiking Boots - Women's:

I am on my 2nd pair in three years. I typically don't write reviews but I noticed comments in other reviews which maybe a little misleading.

PROs First, I have found these boots to be excellent heavy load hiking boot. Top of the line traction through water and on rocks. The toe area does take a beating; they have worn look as compared to a boot with a tougher guard in the front. They are leather and very water proof. Great fit for my narrow feet. Excellent ankle support and protection, not the bulky ankle padding you find in other boots. I use superfeet green inserts to add to the support. I typically do 3-4 day tracks with 55lbs+ pack 10-15 miles a day without any problems. The boot has a heel ready for my Hybrid crampon...this was the final selling point on my first pair.

Now, here is where I differ with other reviews. They get warm because they are water proof--it's a trade off. They are complete leather. if you are doing a light day hike of 10+miles with little or no river/snow encounters this boot maybe over kill.

CON: I love the traction and thought put into "defatigue-reducing technology" but I wish they could have shaved 5 oz off the weight. I believe they top the scale in weight for the type/class of boot they were design for. I don't have a love fest going with the black color--'dark graphite' but i can live with it because these boots fit and function perfectly.

Asolo Matic 200 is a very well made boot worth the price tag.

Comments about Asolo Power Matic 200 Gore-Tex Hiking Boots - Women's:

I love these boots. I have a low profile foot, so, with a super feet insert, these boots fit me great! I wore them straight out of the box on a 20 mile through-hike in the Enchantments. No blisters. I have since taken them up the Muir snowfield and through streams. They stay dry and warm.
My only issue is that the exterior toe portion of this boot wears easy. It only took a mile on the trail to make my boots look like they had seen plenty of trail time.

Comments about Asolo Power Matic 200 Gore-Tex Hiking Boots - Women's:

I had to try a few methods since my very first experience I got out of these boots ended up in blisters. It helped tremendously to use a liner sock with a lightweight hiking sock. And knowing where my hotspot was, I just put a blister bandage over it (for extra precaution). I also put conditioner/lotion on it to 'soften' and clean the leather. There are also some boot tying methods you can learn to secure your ankle in place. For me (and maybe for others) one foots is SLIGHTLY larger than the other hence all the preventative methods.
The boot worked well carrying 30+ pounds on my back through dusty, rocky terrain. It did get completely soaked (crossing a river), we just removed the insoles and let it dry for about 30 minutes and it was good to go for the rest of our short trek.
Recommend these boots as a nice investment for your long treks.

These boots are HEAVY. Too heavy for me, I brought them back.

Aside from that, they are great. Durable, comfortable, great traction, attractive, and will last forever.

I'm usually a size 8, but was a 7 in this boot.

Comments about Asolo Power Matic 200 Gore-Tex Hiking Boots - Women's:

I do a lot of high Sierra backpacking, including tricky class 3 and 4 scrambles, and these boots have kept me from twisting an ankle at least twice! Great traction, great with a heavy pack, and I had no leakage when hiking in thick mud and snow. I was amazed when I tried them on and they fit so comfortably--in my book, there's no such thing as "breaking in" a boot; it should fit well from day one. Regarding their weight, they always feel heavy when I pick them up to put them on, but they've never felt heavy on my feet. They also have a really great lace locking system for perfect lacing. I even got them on and off fast at the airport!

I love this boot. It takes a bit to break in, but once it is, it will last and last, and is well worth the money. It has great ankle support years after you purchase.
