Standard civilian boots aren't built for the rigors of modern operations. We collaborated with Asolo to re-engineer this icon into a mission-ready tactical boot featuring safety-laced eyelets that prevent snags on fast ropes and a custom wide-fit last for long-distance comfort.

The most critical decision for your kit is the lining, and your choice depends entirely on your environment:
- Fugitive GTX: The primary field boot for wet, muddy, or temperate climates where your feet may be partially submerged.
- Fugitive Tactical (Non-GTX): The ideal choice for "Phys," camp use, or maritime operations where boots will be fully submerged and need to dry rapidly.

Core Technology & Tactical Enhancements
Engineered for Impact: Duo Asoflex™ Structural Stability
The Duo Asoflex system isn't just a sole; it’s a mission-critical chassis. By bonding a rigid, anti-torsion element with a soft, shock-absorbing layer, we’ve eliminated the "foot fatigue" common in traditional combat boots. This allows for total lateral stability on broken, rocky terrain while providing the vertical cushion needed for long patrols on hard-surface urban environments.
Mission-Safe Lacing: Zero Snag, Maximum Security
Standard hiking hooks are a liability in tactical environments. Our custom-modified Fugitive features reinforced, fully closed eyelets from the ankle up. This "No-Snag" profile is essential for the safety of airborne and fast-rope operators, ensuring your laces never catch on riser lines, vegetation, or technical equipment during high-stakes maneuvers.
Proven Performance Across Every Area of Operations
Whether your mission takes you into the saturated mud of Northern Europe or the fine-grain sand of an arid desert, there is a Fugitive built for the task. We offer two distinct lining options—waterproof GORE-TEX® for wet/temperate climates and moisture-wicking Cambrelle® for high-heat environments—ensuring your feet stay dry, cool, and operational regardless of the weather.
Combat Agility: Half the Weight, Double the Support
Ounces equal pounds, and pounds equal pain. At just 693g (Size 8UK), the Fugitive Tactical provides the ankle support of a heavyweight leather boot without the physical toll. This reduction in "swing weight" allows for faster movement and less fatigue during multi-day rucking missions, without sacrificing the structural integrity required for heavy load carriage.
Optimized for the Professional: A Custom Wide-Fit Last

Mission-Safe Lacing: Zero Snag, Maximum Security
Reinforced, fully closed eyelets replace civilian speed hooks. This "No-Snag" profile is essential for airborne, fast-rope, and climbing operations, ensuring laces never catch on riser lines or technical gear.
Optimized for the Professional: A Custom Wide-Fit Last
We modified the traditional narrow Italian last to account for natural foot swell. The extra internal volume prevents hotspots and blisters during 12-hour shifts or 20km tabs.
Combat Agility: Half the Weight, Double the Support
At just 693g (Size 8UK), the Fugitive Tactical reduces "swing weight" to minimize fatigue. It provides the ankle protection of a heavyweight leather boot with the agility of a lightweight hybrid.
Built for the Long Haul: Fully Resoleable
Constructed with LWG-rated leather and high-tenacity nylon, this boot is an investment. The fully resoleable design allows you to refresh the Syncro rubber outsole while keeping your perfectly broken-in uppers.
Maintenance & Thermal Management
The Sock System
A Gore-Tex boot is only as good as the socks inside it. We recommend a Merino wool blend to allow moisture to escape. Avoid cotton or putting a waterproof "Storm Sock" inside a GTX boot, as this traps moisture and can lead to trench foot.
Serviceability
To extend the life of your boots, wash off dirt with warm soapy water and allow them to dry at an ambient temperature. Never use a "red-hot" drying room, as it hardens the materials; instead, use newspaper to aid internal drying for GTX models.
Find Your Fit: Waterproof GTX or Breathable Cambrelle
Select GTX for wet/temperate climates or Non-GTX for high-heat/arid environments.
