Asolo Fugitive GTX
The Fugitive GTX is a structured Asolo hiking model for trekkers who want a supportive platform and waterproof protection.
- Structured boot preference
- Rough trails
- Loaded trips
What to check when trying it on
Expect a more precise, supportive fit than a soft day hiker; verify width, instep pressure and flex before committing to break-in.

The Moab Speed 2 Mid GORE-TEX takes the Moab name in a lighter, more athletic direction for hikers who value an easier stride.

- Lighter packs
- Wet maintained routes
What to check when trying it on
A fast-feeling upper should still hold the heel firmly; test side steps and descents before choosing it for rough ground.

More structure is useful only when it improves control without creating avoidable fatigue or fit pressure.
