About La Sportiva
A long shoemaking tradition
"Calzoleria La Sportiva" was founded in 1928 by Italian shoemaker Narcisio Delladio. Delladio made leather boots for forest workers, lumberjacks and farmers in the early years, before La Sportiva technical mountain and hiking boots followed in the 1950s. But La Sportiva's real breakthrough in shoe manufacturing came with the development and production of high-quality climbing shoes. That was in the 80s. Today, the Italian outdoor shoe manufacturer La Sportiva is known for its high-quality ski touring, mountain and hiking boots, as well as approach, trail running and climbing shoes and has become an indispensable part of the outdoor market.
