Trekking shoes for paths, trails and summits

Robust, stable and comfortable - developed for your longest tours, manufactured in Europe.

When trails get longer, climbs steeper, the terrain more challenging and your pack heavier with every step - you need shoes that go with you. Our trekking and mountain boots are made for just that. Whether it's a long-distance hike, an alpine via ferrata or a challenging multi-day tour - our models offer you maximum stability, a high level of comfort and reliability with every step, even in rough terrain.

Trekking or mountaineering boot? Your adventure decides.

Whether you choose a trekking or mountaineering boot depends entirely on your plans. Both types of shoe offer durability, stability, support and comfort - but in different areas of use. Here you can find out what's important.

  • What makes a good trekking shoe?

    A trekking shoe offers firm support and comfortable cushioning to provide you with the best possible support on long and demanding tours. They provide targeted support for your muscles, preventing premature fatigue and protecting your joints.

    Typical features:
    - Moderately stiff to stiff midsole
    - High, snug upper for good ankle support
    - Grippy, durable outsole
    - Comfortable cushioning

    Ideal for:
    - Demanding day hikes
    - Multi-day and hut-to-hut hikes
    - Long-distance hikes with heavy packs

  • What makes a good mountaineering boot?

    If your tour takes you into alpine terrain - over rock, snow and ice - you need maximum stability and support. Mountain boots are made for extreme conditions and are a reliable companion, even when things get technical.

    Typical features:
    - Very stiff midsole (often reinforced with carbon)
    - Robust upper with gaiter-like collar
    - Deep-tread alpine outsole
    - Crampon mount

    Ideal for:
    - High alpine tours
    - Technical terrain
    - Via ferratas and glacier passages
    - High mountain tours with heavy packs
