Minimalist look for maximum vertical. Updated performance retro trekkers. Classic looks, modern performance.
Whether you’re in it for the retro stripes or the magic of thermoregulating Merino Wool, the Via Ferrata delivers high-class style and comfort over the long haul. Named after a rugged route of steel cables, rungs, and ladders spanning the rocky European alps, the throwback Via Ferrata has what it takes to help you send it on serious treks. Perhaps even a walk through town.
