Dolomite

Dolomite is an Italian company that has been making outdoor footwear since 1897, which puts it at more than 125 years in the trade. Walking boots and shoes are the core of the range, and it stretches from high alpine boots to more casual models, so there is something for the high mountains and something for casual wear.

Retailers describe the trekking shoes as stylish, with up to date technical details, and point to a mix of Italian style and comfort as the main draw. Castleberg Outdoors says both its staff and its customers rate the range highly. A sensible label to know if you want footwear for the hills that still looks good.
