For climbers who demand both accuracy and safety, the 𝐀𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐨 𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐨 𝐆𝐕 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐚 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬 offer rugged alpine capability in a surprisingly agile design. Drawing on over 50 years of Asolo’s expertise in crafting high-altitude footwear, these hybrid approach-and-mountaineering boots have been rigorously tested on Patagonia’s granite cliffs, Alaska’s icy routes, and the volcanic rubble of East Africa.
✅ Triple-Density Symbio Frame
• Carbon-reinforced midsole (70 Shore) locks heels for front-pointing on ice
• Dynamic Flex Zone (45 Shore forefoot) enables 5.10-grade scrambling
• Dual-Torsion System reduces calf fatigue by 25% vs. rigid boots
✅ Gore-Tex® Extended Comfort
• 28,000mm waterproofing survives Ruwenzori’s bog crossings
