La Sportiva has been engineering technical gear for outdoor adventure since 1928. Influenced by a local tradition of handmade footwear, the brand's home base sits in Ziano di Fiemme, a small mountain village in the heart of the Italian Dolomite Mountains. From there it has grown to become a leader in outdoor footwear and clothing, particularly climbing, hiking, mountaineering and trail running.
