Diemme is inspired by the heritage of hiking and work boots that have been made for centuries in our home region in Italy’s spectacular Dolomite mountains. Diemme designs evolve those traditions, using the finest materials and techniques to make premium boots and contemporary leisure footwear.
We make all Diemme products under one roof at our family factory in Onè di Fonte, Veneto, a small town in north-eastern Italy. For centuries, this region has been regarded as the spiritual home of handmade outdoor footwear. Every Diemme pair is hand-crafted by expert workers producing limited production runs of high-quality artisan products. Diemme is sold by some of the world’s most esteemed retailers.
The Collalto follows in Diemme's tradition: a classic hiking boot, made the old way. The upper is a grained leather, vegetable-tanned, stitched to the outsole using the ideal stitch technique: no applied welt, just the stitch, so the sole can be replaced rather than rebuilt. The D-rings and speed hooks are antiqued, the collar padded, and the proportions drawn over a narrower last. Handcrafted in Italy.
