Asolo Natural Shape boot range

The Asolo Natural Shape boot range is a new range from Asolo. The boots combine lightweight materials and take innovation from the Vibram barefoot movement to make you feel connected with the terrain. The Natural Shape concept represents form-fitting, flexible footwear which allows your feet to feel free: to feel as close as possible to not wearing boots at all, while still adding grip, protection and a degree of support.

Asolo recommend Natural Shape for:

The boots pictured are the Asolo Men's Creek GTX boots, a 2–3 season boot. The base of the boot is a lugged Vibram sole which mimics the shape of the foot, curved and contoured to allow a natural, unencumbered rolling motion as you walk, but still providing excellent grip. The rest of the boot has a GORE-TEX lined suede and fabric upper formed into a shape which allows a fluid, comfortable fit.
