The last few pairs of hiking boots I've bought were Asolo. The model I buy doesn't seem to need a break in period. I just bought a pair from REI a couple of months ago (probably my last pair ever) with the 20% discount coupon. Don't remember the model name, and it isn't on the boot. They cost around $170/$180 with the 20% discount, are leather, with gortex lining, and Vibram soles. On the front of the tongue is "Asolo & Lat. 45deg.48 min.53 sec.N/Long. 12 deg.13 min.3 sec. E." Don't know if that is specific to or designates that model or not. I put them on and went for a 9 mile hike in the mountains here & they felt like I'd had them forever.
