When we load up our backpack to the gills we then load our feet into the Asolo TPS 520 GV Evo Backpacking Boot. This boot uses a supportive and durable leather upper to keep our ankles happy and debris out of our feet while we scramble through high alpine boulder fields or navigate roots in a beautiful forest. This variable terrain offers a traction problem that is solved by the triple power structure evo outsole that grips rocks, loam, and sand with equal ability.
