Drifter I Evo GV Hiking Boot - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I wore the Drifter I Evo GV on a three-day backpacking trip with significant elevation change and variable trail conditions, and my feet stayed dry and comfortable through creek crossings, muddy switchbacks, and long rocky descents. The dual-density midsole was noticeably supportive under a loaded pack without ever feeling stiff or heavy on the lighter approach sections."

A great hiking boot disappears on your foot after the first mile, and the Asolo Drifter I Evo GV Hiking Boot earns that distinction through thoughtful construction at every layer. The water-resistant suede and Cordura upper brings together durability and breathability in a package that handles the abrasion of rocky trail without trapping heat on long summer days. Gore-Tex Performance Comfort lining backs that up with waterproof protection that keeps your feet dry through stream crossings and wet grass without the clammy feel that plagues lesser waterproof membranes. The hardware lacing system lets you dial in a precise fit quickly, and a protective toe cap shields the front of your foot on technical terrain where root strikes and rock edges are a regular occurrence.

Underfoot, Asolo engineered a dual-density EVA midsole that does two jobs at once. The firmer layer provides the stability and support your joints need when you are carrying a loaded pack over uneven ground, while the softer layer delivers lasting cushioning that keeps fatigue at bay through the final miles of a long day. The Vibram Duo Radiant outsole with MegaGrip compound ties everything together with traction that performs consistently on wet rock, loose dirt, and dry ridgeline alike. Resoleable construction extends the life of the boot well beyond what most footwear can offer, making the Drifter I Evo GV a genuine long-term investment for serious hikers.
