The Asolo Men's Elbrus GV Mountaineering Boot is comfortable in high places—between its sticky Vibam sole and stiff lasting board, the Elbrus delivers hoof-like traction when you're scrambling across an airy ridge in the alpine or setting a steep bootpack up a snowy couloir during a summer mountaineering mission. Asolo made sure the Elbrus was ready for all of your alpine adventures by making it compatible with semi-automatic crampons and equipping it with a waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex insert that gets an extra boost of breathability thanks to Schoeller softshell panels in key areas.
