Asolo Karaj GV

Do – or don’t – be swayed by the Karaj GV’s alpinist attitude.  The brand musters climbing and trekking traditions in a model equipped with a high-performing Vibram sole (the grippy variety Asolo adherents have come to expect).  Active Junky favors the solid, no-frills suede, nylon and Gore-Tex construction along with a dual-density microporous midsole to dampen downhill impact.  Karaj excels in varied terrain where off-camber traverses and plunging descents are navigated in a full pack.  This boot dramatically reduces wear-and-tear on the hiker’s feet, ankles, knees and back.  Going long is closer than you think.
