La Sportiva’s reputation is built on a rich heritage of developing outdoor footwear, first for the lumber-jacks and farmers of the Fassa and Fiemme valleys in the Italian Dolomites where the brand was founded by Narciso Delladio in 1928, and later for the burgeoning mountaineering and climbing scene in Europe and beyond.
Today La Sportiva maintain their mountain base and continue to be regarded as one of the most rigorous testers and innovators in their field, with a distinctive style and design that sets them apart.
