Dolomite Outdoor Boots and Shoes

Dolomite

Quality, comfort and performance made in Italy - this is what Dolomite stands for since more than 120 years. Inspired by alpine lifestyle of the eponymous Dolomites, the manufacturer offers high-quality functional products, paired with Italian design.

Italian outdoor experience for 120 years

The beginnings of Dolomite date back to 1897, when 17-year-old Guiseppe Garbuio opened a shoe factory. The brand gained international attention in the middle of the 20th century as an outfitter for major expeditions such as the first ascent of K2 in the Himalayas in 1954, the expedition to White Mountain Dhaulagiri, the seventh-highest mountain in the world in 1960, or the reaching of the 71st degree of latitude north in Greenland in 1966. This expertise, gained through years of experience, is still evident today in Dolomite products.

1998 Dolomite was acquired by the Italian Tecnica Group. This group also includes the brands Nordica, Blizzard and Lowa. In 2015 Dolomite was sold to the Swiss bike and outdoor supplier Scott Sports.

Dolomite develops innovative technologies for mountain sports

Innovation and know-how

With a wealth of experience and the necessary expertise, Dolomite is constantly developing new technologies for mountain sports. The product line Crodarossa ranges from agile, comfortable mountain boots to high-performance approach shoes for demanding routes and excursions. The line Torq also offers both light, flexible mountain boots and versatile shoes for experienced mountaineers on difficult tours and via ferrata.

With the Veloce GTX Dolomite has released a multi-talent. The extremely light mountain boot is waterproof and breathable thanks to Gore-Tex lining. The boot is also compatible with crampons. With a lining sock made of stretch material, the shoe adapts to the foot, but at the same time offers sufficient freedom of movement. The Veloce is completely developed and manufactured in Italy.

Lifestyle collections are also an important part of Dolomite

Athletic lifestyle

Dolomite not only offers performance equipment and boots for mountaineers, but also lifestyle collections. This includes shoes but also jackets, sweatshirts, shirts and bags. One of the most popular collections is the line 54. The Cinquantaquattro (Italian for 54) is available in different versions, high or low cut, elegant or as hiking boot. The Settantasei (76) Knit is a versatile Athleisure style everyday shoe.
