APEX -WOMAN

From the beginning Asolo’s philosophy has been to develop innovative and technologically advanced footwear with great looks. Asolo pays particular attention to the natural flex of the foot while also making sure that performance and comfort of its footwear is maximized.

For this reason, the new Asolo collection has been developed using 16 different lasts, each one with specific anatomical features sculpted to match defined and user criteria and fit characteristics.

The women’s last is specifically designed to accommodate the unique anatomical shape of a women foot paying attention to four specific areas:

01 forefoot fit
02 instep (arch)
03 heel shape
04 heel height

Every part is perfectly sculpted to best match the female foot anatomy.The result is a range of footwear that fits naturally to the foot, with great performance and comfort.

The roots of today’s Schoeller Textil AG are anchored in an environment of new beginnings. The 1860s saw the emergence of such organizations as the Swiss Red Cross and such architectural achievements as the Gotthard Tunnel. This pioneering age also saw the establishment of our company: In 1868, Rudolph Schoeller moved from Breslau to Zürich and set up Switzerland’s first worsted yarn spinning mill in Schaffhausen with the name” Schoeller & Söhne,” the origin of today’s Schoeller Textil AG.


The all in one soft-shell:

The soft-shell classic for year-round use. Two textile surfaces are bonded with a highly breathable coating in a special process. The coating in the middle ensures additional protection from wind and water. This produces soft-shell fabrics for the most varied of requirements and for every season.

Basic properties:

> Perfect weather protection
> Wind and water resistant
> Good breathability
> Highly elastic
> Cosy and comfortable inside

Construction:
The elastic, water- and wind repelling, woven fabric surfaces consist of synthetic fibres.
The middle layer – a functional coating – ensures insulation and a high level of wind protection.
The extremely breathable interior varies depending on the intended area of use.
Outside: hard-wearing rain, snow and water repellent stretch fabric.
Mid: functional coating offers insulation and excellent wind protection.
Inside: soft, skin-friendly and extremely breathable material.

THE GROUND TECHNOLOGY:

> New project born from the collaboration between Asolo and Vibram.
> Made of a moulded EVA midsole offering optimum comfort and support.
> Combined with a PU heel insert for shock absorption.
> Developed with Vibram Megagrip compound, it offers optimum grip on wet surfaces and enhanced durability.


HEEL LOCKING:
The technology has been developed following the anatomically shaped heel and with its “T” design, it provides heel locking and heel support. Made of an injection of PU (in & out) to prevent abrasion.






THE OUTSOLE TECHNOLOGY:

1. Moulded EVA midsole
2. PU heel
3. Asolo/Vibram Ground rubber outsole (Mega Grip compound)

Vibram MegaGrip offers excellent grip properties on both dry and wet terrains while maintaining a higher level of durability. Developed for the user who frequently encounters slippery surfaces, Vibram MegaGrip is suitable for trekking and multisport as well as all season hiking and travel.

Megagrip offers an incomparable combination of grip and durability which helps define Vibram MegaGrip as the ideal high-performance rubber compound for extremely demanding activities

In 1935, tragedy drives Vitale Bramani to develop an outsole capable of excellent traction on mixed surfaces. Using vulcanized rubber technology, he developed the Carrarmato design. The design was soon famous. Even today, it remains one of the most used soles by mountain climbers. Asolo’s footwear are made using outsole designed by Asolo and made by Vibram.
