Asolo mountaineering boots

The 6B+ GV’s excellence on almost all fronts gives it an edge against competitors. It is a solid option if you:

• Prefer a mountaineering boot that gives mountaineers the capability to ascend elevations in biting conditions.
• Prefer a mountaineering boot that offers a waterproof and insulated upper.
• This mountaineering gear can be equipped with automatic step-in crampons.

Excellent traction on extremely rugged surfaces

First in line to receive the assault of the mountainous terrain is the 6B+ GV’s rubber outsole, called Vibram Vertical. This component—a resulting product of Asolo’s partnership with Vibram—delivers traction on extremely rugged surfaces, all thanks to its sticky construction and aggressively designed lugs.

Provides additional descent security

It has a hook-like feature (a.k.a heel brake) that grants mountaineers additional descent security.

Provides underfoot comfort and ground stability

This boot uses a stiff yet cushy midsole that boosts underfoot comfort and ground stability. It is equipped with PU inserts, one at the heel and another at the forefoot, providing extra shock absorption. Granting added cushioning and support, on the other hand, is this stabilizing layer paired with the Lite 3 anatomic footbed.

Water-resistant

The updated 4 Apr 2023’s over-the-ankle upper is a combination of microfiber and water-resistant Schoeller textile.

Its liner is crafted with Gore-Tex’s Insulated Comfort technology, granting wearers protection from the elements with adequate warmth and breathability.

Abrasion-resistant 

The lower region of the boot is covered with an abrasion-resistant rubber rand which is integrated with the sturdy and supportive Heel Locking element.

Synthetic laces

Most of the boot’s eyelets are riveted hooks and loops made of metal, except for the fabric ones located at the ankle zone. The laces making their way through these combination eyelets are synthetic.
