The Asolo Traverse GV has been selected among the 100 Outdoor Gear by Outdoors Magic website in the Footwear category for Fall/Winter 2024-2025.

Established since 1999, Outdoors Magic is the British most famous website dedicated to outdoor enthusiasts; they propose product reviews, advices, routes guides and text outdoor gear to draft the Best of the Year Guide for each season. 

The tester described the Traverse GV: 
“The sole unit makes for a stiffer boot than your average backpacking boot but it still has a touch of flex at the toe and this, I found, made the Traverse GV something that I could happily walk big mileage in without my feet getting too worn out. It’s the same weight-wise: it’s heavier than your average backpacking boot, but it doesn’t feel heavy or lumbering. […] With its thick rubber rand and good craftsmanship, I’ve got confidence that the Asolo Traverse GV is a boot that will last well if maintained properly. […]  A good balance of durability and weight, very grippy, lots of comfort, versatile.”

The Outdoors Magic Team found the Traverse GV a model with a sturdy feel underfoot and well-suited to light scrambling as well. They also recognized in the model a good shock absorption, an excellent grip that make it a solid performer on mud and steep gradients.
