Ski boots from Italy
With unique designs, innovative ideas and a passion for shoes, Dalbello has been producing ski boots since 1974. The product range includes shoes in the areas of Racing, on-piste and all mountain , off-piste, Freeride Tour and freestyle up to junior ski boots. The headquarters and production facility of the company is located in Asolo in Italy, south of the Alps.
Dalbello's goal is to continue to improve comfort, function, performance and details of ski boots. A large team of athletes is in close contact with product developers to continuously improve the boots. In addition, Dalbello has joined forces with the two Straubing-based companies Völkl and Marker under the name MDV Sports.
Increased comfort through new technologies
The ski boots of the traditional Italian company are convincing with the help of new technologies and adaptation mechanisms. The GripWalk and the My Fit technology are particularly noteworthy here.
GripWalk is a sole binding system in which the ski boot sole, with its rounded shape and non-slip, ribbed tread, provides increased walking comfort and improved, natural rolling characteristics. The technology is compatible with all GripWalk bindings, but GripWalk ski boots do not fit into conventional alpine bindings.
Also My Fit is responsible for better comfort. Ski boots can be individually fitted to the foot using this technology. Thus, by warming both the inner boot and the shell can be adjusted easily and quickly in different stages. The boots can be easily heated in an oven, the inner boot also with a hairdryer. However, one should absolutely adhere to the temperature and time specifications of the manufacturer.
Sustainability and conservation of resources
Dalbello also pays attention to the issue of sustainability. The Italian company has set itself the goal of working in an even more environmentally friendly manner. For this reason, the company is part of the Repair 3D project, which is researching new recycling methods and ways to recycle plastic waste using 3D printing processes for the production of new ski boots. In this project, ski boots are made from 70% recycled materials. The project aims to find ways of making the manufacturing process more resource- and environmentally friendly, which can then be used in the company's own production.
.Dalbello also pays attention to the responsible use of resources when it comes to raw materials. To keep transport distances short, all required raw materials are sourced from Europe and half of them even directly from Italy. The ski boots already consist of 20% recycled raw materials from their own production. In addition, renewable resources are increasingly being used.
