La Sportiva was born in 1928 when Narciso Delladio hand-crafted wooden leather boots for many lumberjacks and farmers of the Fassa and Fiemme valleys (Dolomites, Italy). Starting from there, La Sportiva's history continued to grow. Now the firm produces boots and shoes for all kinds of outdoor actives from climbing and mountain, to running, trekking and most recently the ski-mountaineering market.
