Asolo Sherpa GV

The Asolo Sherpa GV boot a B2 boot with a lot to offer and can be found at very competitive prices when compared to boots of the same standard. The Sherpa comes with Water-resistant Perwanger leather which is between 2.2-2.4mm thick, a Gore-Tex lining and an Asolo/Vibram Ascent sole with PU attachments for semi-automatic crampons. The upper part of this boot is made from one piece of leather that helps to ensure the boot remains waterproof and hard wearing. A double tongue helps with ensuring that this boot gives maximum comfort all day.

T
he Sherpa can be compared with Britain’s favourite winter boot the Scarpa Manta which sports similar features but there are two points that I feel gives the Sherpa the edge over the Manta and they are the presence of a Gore-Tex lining and that the Sherpa can generally be found at a £40 lower price.

The Sherpa’s toe structure is more designed for climbing which some might find makes the boot feel unstable when walking. Personally I have not found this but I have heard others report this feeling.

So to conclude this is another great offering from Asolo for the winter walker that wants a boot to use in winter conditions and a boot I look forward to many years of service from.
