Asolo Hiking Boots
From LoveToKnow Shoes
Asolo hiking boots are made for the man who simply can't be expected to sit at home and watch television over the weekends. These specially designed adventuring boots combine clever features with a practical look, making them the perfect boots for roaming the great outdoors.
The Intent of Asolo Hiking Boots
Outdoor activities such as hiking and mountain climbing require specialized footwear that is crafted with gripping technology. Asolo hiking boots are manufactured for long treks, mountain scaling, and hikes along a variety of terrains. Unlike Ugg boots which are intended for freezing temperatures but not for daring outdoor athletic feats, Asolo boots are created for activity.
These sturdy hiking boots are even intended for icy surfaces. They're tough enough to be used for a winter backpacking in the Himalayas. Most importantly, Asolo makes its footwear in similar style for both men and women!
Asolo Styles
Where are you hiking? What level of intensity do you anticipate for this hike? Because Asolo hiking boots come in a variety of styles for either light mountain trekking to intense scaling, to even light or demanding backpacking.
These women's and men's styles include:
- The Alpine
- The Backpacking
- The Energy
- The FSN
The Asolo Alpine Collection
If you're planning on taking a "light" hike along a glacier, then the Asolo Alpine hiking boots are for you. These boots are intended for professional climbers and high-level athletes, and can be used in regions where temperatures fall below negative 30 degrees Celsius.
Regardless of what model you purchase, expect features that can meet the attack of alpinism, ice, snow, and dry tooling. Waterproof exteriors, special linings, microporous rubber midsoles, and all sorts of inscrutable technologies have been added to the Alpine boots in order to streamline your trek through snow canyons and demise-ridden mountain passes.
If you have a thirst for danger, then Asolo makes the shoes you'll be wearing while you attempt to evade an icy death.
The Asolo Backpacking Collection
If you prefer to catch your thrills in dense carnivore-packed forests, Asolo has an entire collection of hiking boots for backpacking and high-intensity trekking. Now you can avoid those tick bites with the aid of the Asolo TPS 520. Though the name sounds like a car, Asolo hiking boots offer water resistant full grain leather uppers which will protect your scrumptious ankle flesh from insects, small bloodthirsty animals, and stray twigs.
Whether you're climbing, descending, or falling off a precipice the "revolutionary Triple Power Structure (T.P.S.)" boot sole will provide you with three shock absorbers that are meant to protect certain areas of the feet which suffer the most shock absorption.
The Energy
Meet your fate with speed when you wear the Asolo Energy collection! The Energy line offers Asolo hiking boots that require lightweight footwear for speedy hikes and rapid adventuring. Take a look at the Asolo Fugitive GTX.
This model boasts a Duo Asoflex midsole that is implemented for comfort and flexibility to improve your hiking performance while supporting the arch. Two materials are used. The first provides stiff anti pronation, anti supination and anti torsion (which basically means your foot is kept steady and cradled within the shoe). The second material provides shock absorption, plain and simple.
More importantly, these boots are made with water resistant suede; so should you find yourself wading through a brook and stomping through cheery puddles, you needn't fear the wildnerness!
The Asolo FSN
Hailed by Backpackers Magazine as the "best backpacking boot" of 2001, the FSN 95 Asolo model is the king of hiking boots. It provides an excellent grip for any terrain, including provisions against slipping and sliding during difficult descents. It is water resistant, and also offers a cushioned sole and speed lacing system so you won't have to pause for long while outrunning large bears and woodland creatures.
You'll be a regular cheetah in these Asolo hiking boots, which is why they were so highly acclaimed by America's most trusted magazine for outdoor sports!
Purchasing Information
Because sizing can be difficult and unconventional where Asolo hiking boots are concerned, it is generally recommended that consumers who are new to the Asolo line, purchase their boots in-store. These boots can be purchased at Sonoma Outfiiters and a variety of other outdoor sports oriented stores.
Comments
Tom, unfortunately we don't have the capabilities to do any resoling - we just write about the products :) However, I'd recommend contacting Sonoma Outfitters (the link is above in the article) and finding out if they can help you. Your best bet would be to get in touch with a store that actually sells the shoes - hopefully they can point you in the right direction. Best of luck!
