The final piece of the jigsaw

Sleeping bags, tents, waterproofs, hiking poles. We have been making technical outdoor gear for over twenty years. We have designed kit for everything from Scottish winters to Himalayan objectives to camping kit that pulls the rest of your family into your world of adventurous escapades.

There is one thing we are always asked about:

“When are you making footwear?”

It’s been the missing piece of the jigsaw. Until now.

Our new footwear range completes our head-to-toe system of technical performance gear for outdoor adventure.

Made in Europe, worn everywhere

Footwear is arguably the most important piece of gear. From big mountain days and rocky hut-to-hut trips to weekend hikes in our favourite wild places, what’s on your feet matters.

We’ve taken our time to do it properly – working with the best manufacturers in northern Italy and testing in real conditions, refining every detail, and focusing on what really matters when you’re moving through wild terrain.

The result is a collection intended to cut through complexity, offering you the right boot for your next adventure.

Get a grip

Grip gives you confidence. Simple as.

Our footwear is specced to match the challenge with either Vibram® XS Trek or our very own REACT soles: responsive all-terrain technology.

Our dual-density PU soles have been specially designed and developed to provide cushioning and responsiveness for maximum comfort and performance on long days. The thread compound guarantees grip and durability on both dry and wet surfaces.

Trail tested

Built for challenging mountain terrain and scrambly ascents - with stiff edging support and just enough flex for long approaches. Sticky rubber grips cable rungs and limestone alike, while the reinforced upper shrugs off rock scrapes and scree.

Choose Alta Rocca for...

The Cuillin Ridge on Skye. Universally considered the greatest mountaineering challenge in Britain, involving a full traverse of the Black Cuillin Ridge over 22 peaks, including 11 Munros. The perfect place to make or break any boot.
