The Asolo Fugitive has been popular with UK and allied SOF for years. Brigantes approached them to produce a dedicated version of the boot for military use.
The result is the Asolo Fugitive Tactical GTX with Brigantes now serving as brand advisor for a full line of tactical footwear which will be released in the future.
As for now, the Fugutive Tactical GTX (for GORE-TEX) is available order here. A non-GORE-TEX lined version is forthcoming.
It features a Brown on Brown tone colorway upper made from 1.6-1.8mm water-resistant suede and high tenacity nylon. There is also a rubber toe cap for durability in the scree and the sole is made from a PU midsole, with bi-density rubber bottom. Finally, it is built on a wide last.
These look great!
Any chance that the non-GTX version will be released for civilian use?! And available in America? And available in wide?
To every bootmaker in the “tactical” marketplace: many people in this marketplace want non-Goretex versions in wide sizes that are easily available for purchase. Accomplish this, and those boots will be a serious hit.
I’ve been wearing Asolo Fugitive GTX boots for years but the heels wear our FAR too quickly…ridiculously quickly!!
Add a Vibram sole and solve the problem.
I’ve lost count of the number of pairs I’ve been issued or purchased but I have given up on them now unfortunately.
