Dalbello
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 via Freetouring 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.
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. From 2020 to 2024, the Italian company was an official partner of the EU project LIFE ReSkiBoot: almost 2,000 collected used ski boots were turned into 1,000 new, recycled pairs using a newly developed high-purity recycling process.
Since 2025, the follow-up project LIFE re-WINTER has been running, this time coordinated by Dalbello itself - together with sister brands Völkl and Marker, the goal is to collect 10,000 used skis, boots and bindings by 2028 and turn them into 1,000 new pairs of equipment.
