Asolo Atlantis GTX (2012)

£140.00

A sturdy boot featuring Asolo’s Active Heel Support, which cradles the heel and offers great shock absorption. The toe box is a little on the narrow side, but an excellent lacing system should allow a comfortable fit for all but the widest feet. The well-placed locking eyelet also helps by keeping the tension where you want it, and the high, ...

Asolo Sherpa GV 2012

£200.00

The Asolo Sherpa GV is an exceptionally well-priced boot, because not only does it cost a full £40 less than the best boot we tested, but it also has a much better set of features than other boots in its price range. So you get a one-piece leather upper for maximum durability and water resistance. But just to make sure ...

Asolo Imperial

£150.00

These are a well-styled boot, perfect for walking in most terrain. The stiff sole unit and thick leather build give them great support and foot protection. The high ankle also helps with support on loose ground, while also providing just enough cushioning without becoming too bulky or warm. Comfort is also helped by laces which reach far down the boot, ...

Asolo Fugitive GTX

£130.00

A much stiffer offering than many rivals makes this a definite three-season boot. The stiffness does create extra support levels but can make them a little clumsy at first and they do require breaking in. The grip is good on most surfaces with a fairly aggressive tread pattern, but is a little lacking on stone particularly if it’s wet. A ...

Asolo Flame GTX 2011

£140.00

The Asolo Flame GTX is a well-proven boot that is ideal for many hill-walkers. On first appearances it looks like many other boots, but as soon as you get it on your feet you notice the difference. Although it looks like a normal fabric boot, that upper is very stiff, supportive and protective of the foot. Also the toe box ...

Asolo Imperial GV 2011

£140.00

The Asolo imperial GV is an outstanding price for what you are getting. Firstly this is an upper made from virtually one piece of leather than is at least 2.5mm thick, and this makes it water-resistant, wear-resistant and supportive. There is a Gore-Tex waterproof lining for really wet Scottish bogs. The lacing extends close to the toe for a more ...

Asolo Alpinist GTX 2010

£220.00

The Asolo Alpinist GTX as the name suggests is a boot that would be ideal for a mix of mountaineering, glacier travel and walking on snow-covered mountains. It has a synthetic and leather upper with a big rubber rand at the forefoot and heel for extra durability. The lacing extends further towards the toe than most boots so you can ...

Asolo Powermatic 500 GV 2010

£200.00

The Asolo Powermatic 500 GV was competitively priced in 2009 at £160 and it easily took the ‘Best Value’ award. However for 2010 the price has jumped by £40, but the features stay the same. You get a one-piece leather upper with a waterproof lining, so even if you don’t look after the upper properly you have a good chance ...

Asolo Powermatic 200 GTX

£170.00

The Powermatic is an excellent boot that performs well in a great range of conditions. There is a decent amount of space in the toe box, and a good supportive heel section. The triple-density midsole really works at providing impact cushioning where you need it without adding height. Even though the sole is fairly stiff, the low ride height helps ...

Asolo Flame 2010

£150.00

The Asolo Flame is a well-proven synthetic and suede leather boot with a Gore-Tex waterproof lining. What sets this apart from many similar-looking boots is that it combines fairly standard-looking styling with some really important functionality. So it is reasonably lightweight compared to some similar options. The upper is more supportive than most with a solid toe box that has ...

Asolo PowerMatic 200 2010

£170.00

The Asolo PowerMatic 200 weighs 1864g (pair, size 11); Gore-Tex waterproof lining; triple-density PU sole for cushioning; low ride height for better ‘feel’; excellent sole stiffness for rocky ground; virtually stitch-free leather upper; solid toe box and lots of support for the foot. But the outsole is not quite as aggressive as similar-priced options.

Asolo Flame GTX

£150.00

Excellent for high mountain use with a high and stiff ankle cuff that offers plenty of support and hefty protection at the toe and heel. The midsole is great for uneven, hard ground but perhaps a little too stiff for easier going, and the outsole provided good traction on most surfaces. The lacing is excellent, so easy to get just ...

The Alpiniste GTX is a new Asolo 4-season boot that provides a superb set of features, making it ideal for general winter use as well as mountaineering. It has a synthetic and leather upper with a big rubber rand for extra durability. The lacing extends further towards the toe than in some boots, which makes it slightly better for climbers ...

Asolo Powermatic 500 GV 2009

£160.00

Unlike many other 3-4 season boots, the Asolo Powermatic 500 GV boot has managed to hold its price this winter, which makes it a superb buy for the money. You get a one-piece leather upper with a waterproof lining, so even though the upper is going to be tough and very water-resistant, it has a waterproof lining to make it ...

Asolo Powermatic 200 GTX

£150.00

Asolo’s Micro Pully lacing system does an excellent job of keeping feet secure and comfortable and offset locking eyelets really clamp the boot to your foot. These have a high, supportive ankle cuff and a reassuringly stiff, triple-density midsole which provides graduated cushioning and excellent shock absorption. A Gore-Tex lining and high ankle cuff do an excellent job of keeping ...

Asolo Intrepid XCR

£100.00

A very well designed, lightweight shoe that offers a surprising amount of support. The secret is the clever blend of a supportive suede upper, with sizeable polyester panels that reduce weight without really affecting the structure. The fit is quite specific, meaning it’s quite shaped and will either fit the foot perfectly, or it won’t; although excellent lacing will assist. ...

Asolo Flame 2009

£130.00

The Asolo Flame has been around for a while, and it is a popular boot. It is reasonably lightweight, while its stylish fabric upper is certainly more interesting than a brown leather boot. There is a Gore-Tex lining to guarantee dry feet. The reasonably supportive upper appears well-made and able to take a fair bit of abuse. The toe box ...

ASOLO POWERMATIC

£160.00

Review: A full-leather boot with a warm and supportive 2.6-2.8mm upper and a Gore-Tex membrane for waterproofness. Fitwise, it’s slightly broader than average and although the leather upper felt a little uncompromising on first wear, it quickly softened to feel wonderful. It features a good rand so didn’t look too battered after a few rocky outings, and the toe and ...

Asolo Lhotse GV B3 2009

£200.00

Flick through any climbing book or mag from the Eighties and more than likely the boots worn in winter or Alpine pictures will be plastic, sporting the ubiquitous Asolo logo. Asolo were the ‘plastic-meisters’, setting the standard for B3 class boots: stiff, with flat soles for mountaineering, snow and ice-climbing. Now, as then, making a pair is a thankless task.The ...

Asolo Power Matic 200 GTX

£140.00

Incredibly comfortable from the box and careful lacing ensured a good stable fit, aided by an effective locking eyelet between the foot and ankle cuff. They are very well padded and the ankle is a good height – supportive but not clumsy or restrictive. One complaint, they are quite heavy compared to most. Good on forest tracks or over the ...

Reassuringly snug around the whole foot. Quite stiff so feel very supportive, even on rough terrain, and the lacing works well, ensuring they remain comfortable and stable. Reinforced toe and heel does a great job of guarding feet from scrapes and bumps, and the excellent shock absorption at the heel keeps feet feeling fresh all day. Heavier than most, but ...
