Finding a durable boot for mixed terrain requires curation, balancing the weight and flexibility of a trail shoe with the heft of something suited to mid-high altitudes.

Coming in at around $200 is Asolo’s Fugitive GTX which copes well in cold and damp conditions, light and responsive enough for fast hiking on the best days.

The Fugitive GTX may not be the most – reaching only four inches above the ankles – but for the enthusiastic hiker looking for a shoe to handle most outings it’s more than adequate.
