Scarpa

• No Place Too Far
• Headquarters: Asolo, Italy
• Founded In: 1938

Innovation and tradition share equally deep roots at SCARPA. The company was among the first to recognize the needs of northern Italy's rapidly developing mountaineering and climbing culture, and to develop footwear with features dedicated to those pursuits. Those features, along with the brand's legendary durability and fit, led to many of Italy's early mountaineers using SCARPA shoes. In 1965, an Italian-American living in Boston began importing SCARPA footwear, making it the first manufacturer from the Asolo region to export to the U.S. In 2005, SCARPA opened a North American headquarters, headed by veterans of the outdoor industry in North America.
