Mountain running shoes from a family factory in Val di Fiemme
Started resoling lumberjacks' boots in 1928 and still runs the factory in the same valley, fourth generation in charge. One of the few mountain brands that publishes its production split and keeps a resole network; the running line now outsells the boots that built it.
