La Sportiva just celebrated their 80th anniversary, but rather than resting on their accolades, they continue to improve on their already excellent products. Born in 1928 in a small mountain village in the Italian Dolomites, La Sportiva remains passionate about providing the best technical footwear for mountain sports. The breadth of the La Sportiva product quiver is unsurpassed. They make boots for Everest; they make climbing shoes for pushing the 5.15 envelope; and they make running shoes that deliver a great ride on anyone's favorite trail. Whatever footwear the outdoor consumer needs, La Sportiva has the highest quality, most innovative product to meet the need. Constantly searching for more advanced technologies for their shoes and products, La Sportiva also gains inspiration from the outside world from which they strive to nurture and respect. Dealing within a world wide market, La Sportiva has over 80 years of history behind them and continue to produce top quality footwear, destined for the new generations, with the most modern ways of understanding the mountains.
