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 priority at Asolo is to develop products with specific fit and comfort benefits.

The line created with the Gore-Tex Insulated Comfort Footwear lining offers optimal heat retention to keep you dry & comfortable during a wide range of conditions and outdoor activities.

Key Advantage:

Durably waterproof, breathable footwear for people who need moderate insulation from the elements.

Benefits:
> Optimum combination of breathability and waterproof protection.
> Feet stay dry and comfortable, even in changing conditions.
> Designed for a wide range of outdoor activities in moderate to cool conditions – from challenging pursuits to everyday wear.

All components (leathers, textiles, laces, foams, and threads) and the entire shoe construction itself are precisely coordinated and subjected to regular quality inspections.

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.

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.
