Asolo Falcon GV
Take advantage of long summer days with the breathable Falcon. The boots are designed to help you tackle any surface and offer lightweight support for double-digit distances. Self-cleaning Vibram soles shed dirt and debris on the move so you don’t have to worry about losing your grip or sticking to bluebird days. They are also one of the few hiking boots with modern features that can be resoled.
