Asolo Drifter 1 GV Evo GORE-TEX Walking Boots
The Asolo Drifter GV 1 Evo GORE-TEX Walking Boots are for light hikers and trekkers who demand lightweight and comfort with a snappy design.
Suede Leather Upper
Constructed using a suede leather upper, the Asolo Drifter Walking Boots offer a wide range of protection to help you gain the maximum from your footwear. The suede leather upper keeps the feet protected from debris and sharp objects as well as minimising the risks of wear and tear. The suede is also water-resistant to provide added protection at all times. As well as this, Cordura fabrics work with the suede to ensure increased durability on tough trails. The durable nature of the upper reduces the risks of abrasion and resists tearing so you'll have complete confidence as you tackle uneven terrain. The Drifter has been fitted with a GORE-TEX lining that offers non-insulated protection to keep you dry and comfortably cool in moderate to warm conditions and during higher activity levels. To avoid damp feet, and therefore dampened spirits, the GORE-TEX membrane resides inside the boot; supplying a combination of durable waterproofing and optimised breathability. Sometimes it's hard to stay dry without developing that distracting clammy feeling, but GORE-TEX keeps water on the outside while letting perspiration escape from the inside; keeping sweat to a minimum and you, cool and comfy. A rubber toe cap also provides protection from loose debris and rocks. Completing the upper is a lacing system which locks down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.
EVA MidsoleDesigned using two density EVA midsoles, these walking boots aim to provide you with enough cushioning and comfort to get you through the day. The first density is harder and more sturdy for giving support and stability while the second is softer which provides optimal comfort and cushioning. Generous, soft and durable, it spares your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces. Exceptionally lightweight, the EVA ensures long-lasting cushioning to keep you comfortable on long-distance days. EVA is extremely firm, which will absorb shocks instantly and effectively, preventing them from causing any damage to the sole of the foot. Energy produced from this will also be returned as rebound, which will give you an added spring in your step.
Asolo/Vibram Megagrip OutsoleDesigned to provide traction and grip on uneven surfaces, the Asolo Drifter has been constructed using technologies from both Asolo and Vibram. Vibram Megagrip offers excellent grip properties on both dry and wet terrains while maintaining a higher level of durability. This high-performance rubber compound gifts you with an unparalleled grip on wet and dry surfaces, rugged longevity and optimal ground adaptability. The Vibram rubber is built for extremely slippery terrain as it can form a solid bond with the ground to anchor you in place. Despite facing abuse from rough ground, the rubber stands up against this, deflecting the blows and retaining a strong shape and structure. Providing you with excellent grip and traction, these walking boots will be an excellent addition to any mountaineering enthusiast. Lastly, the outsole has self-cleaning lugs designed for optimum performance on varying types of terrain.
