Great boot but...

By Neil Bokemeier Ranked #100 - Men's Backpacking Boots December 28, 2009

I love this boot, I have owned 2 pairs over the years and they have been great and seen me through over 500 miles on the trails without a single blister usually carrying 30-60 pound packs. The two knocks on these boots are 1) in the summer they can get wicked hot since they are gore-tex leather and when waterproofed they can just get down right sweaty. 2) the sole is slippery on wet and/or small rocks. I got a new pair of the Asolo Powermatic that aren't gore tex and I am just going to treat them with water so hopefully I can vent a little more moisture. They still get 5 stars though as my feet always feel rested at the end of 20+ mile days and they have never let me down.
