Garmont

About Garmont

Garmont is an Italian outdoor footwear brand founded in 1964 in Montebelluna, the Veneto district known for its sports footwear craft. The name joins "Gar" from founder Garbuio's surname with "Mont" for Montebelluna. It started out in ski mountaineering, earned a following among enthusiasts and professionals, then added mountaineering boots and began selling abroad. Along the way it launched the first Dragontail approach shoe, which helped define a new product category, and the 9.81, a forerunner of modern trail running shoes. Garmont later left ski boots to concentrate on outdoor footwear. Its range now centres on the 9.81 and Tradizione collections, covering trekking, hiking and mountaineering, and the shoes are sold in over 40 countries.
