The Asolo Fugitive GT is one of the finest hiking boots made. A substantial departure from Asolo's classic leather hikers, the Fugitive is a sturdy yet lightweight hiking boot. The boots pictured above have seen 18 months of weekly use. They have been to the top of Mt. Jackson in Jackson Hole, WY to the Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska. But, the toughest treatment they receive are from my weekly jaunts through the Northeastern hiking trails.
These boots are surprisingly light. They weigh in at a svelte 690 grams. The uppers are comprised of very tough cordura and they are gore tex lined. These boots are best suited for people looking for a high performance day hiker with a medium sized foot. One suggestion - pull out the flimsy, cheap footbed liner and invest in an aftermarket footbed like "superfeet". There will be a separate review on footbeds soon.
