    You will get lots of different advise, I wore Asolo GTX and Powermatic for 20 plus years, 5-6 years ago, i started having problems, with the soles delaminating of the boot, happened to 3 pr, one with in a few days, I had the same with two other well know boots,
    I wear Lowas now (Tibet's and Camino) comfortable, but heavy when wet,
    When I started out hunting mid 80's everyone wore bullers or a commando stitched sole boots, I miss the stiches sole boot, with 6-8 Triconies for steep slippery country, and stepping on greasy logs,
    After taking 3-4 pr of modern Glue sole type boots, into the Cobbler, all not worth repairing, sole stretches' to miss fit the leather, and cant clean good enough to get a good glue bond.
    I am thinking of buying myself a pr of Stitched sole Danners, they have a very good reputation, here in western Canada, USA made, hunting Mate, has had a pr for many years, and was able to send them back, and get leather recondition and a new sole stitched on,
    viper, Micky Duck and dannyb like this.
