- Is the Asolo TPS 520 GV EVO GTX good for backpacking?
- Yes. Its stiff two-density polyurethane midsole and Vibram outsole are built to carry heavy loads over rough ground, which is what the TPS line is known for.
- How does it compare with the previous TPS 520?
- The EVO version keeps the full-grain leather upper, Gore-Tex liner and Triple Power Structure outsole of the TPS 520 line, with the same stiff, supportive build.
- Does it need breaking in?
- Yes. The full-grain leather and stiff sole take time to soften. Owners recommend several shorter hikes before a long trip.
- Is it waterproof?
- It has a Gore-Tex Performance Comfort liner and a water-resistant full-grain leather upper, so it handles rain and wet trails.
- How heavy is it?
- About 1 lb 10 oz per boot, which is heavy for a hiking boot and best suited to load-carrying rather than fast day hikes.
- What is the shaft height?
- The shaft is about 6 inches, giving ankle coverage above a low-cut shoe.
