Asolo Hiking Boots

Asolo hiking boots and shoes are a firm favorite with many hikers and backpackers today.

Asolo has been producing great outdoor footwear for more than thirty years and has a well deserved reputation for producing high quality, flexible and lightweight boots for a wide variety of outdoor wear. Their breathable and shock-absorbent design, which will also keep out the water and cold weather, are suitable for even the roughest of terrain and one feature that many hikers particularly like is the fact that Osolo hiking boots provide excellent grip on even the slipperiest of surfaces.

Asolo are credited with inventing the first lightweight and comfortable hiking shoe back in the 1970s and also won awards during the 1980s for the first shoe created for professional alpinists.

Asolo is also a firm favorite of some very well known climbers and alpine specialists like Tomaz Humar. Tomaz has been a climber since 1990 numbering such well known climbs as the north face of Annapurna amongst his accomplishments and today is an alpine guide and members of the alpine mountain rescue service.

Another fan of Asolo is Jean Christophe Lafille who is one of the most accomplished and respected alpinists in the world. Amongst Jean Christophe’s climbs we can number the first ascent of the east face of Annapurna and the south face of K2, to mention just two.

Asolo men's and women's hiking boots are some of the most technologically advanced hiking boots to be found anywhere in the world and also some of the most stylish footwear you will find anywhere. Shop around and you will often be able to pick up a great pair of discounted Asolo hiking boots.
