The Roccia Vet is a style originally found in the Diemme hunting
collection, that has been updated with lighter and more comfortable
soles for city use. This style has great ankle support and padded inner
lining which gives stability and a comfortable and protected walk. It is
featured here in a Keprotec outer fabric from Swiss company Schoeller
Textil AG, with a waterproof Sympatex inner lining. Keprotec is an
extreme protective fabric originally developed for motorcycle racing
consisting of 41 % Kevlar. The high-tensile aramide fibres ensure
maximum durability as well as temperature stability in combination with a
high level of comfort. These boots are extremely abrasion proof and
tear resitant.
The Vibram Cristy is a historical Vibram design
reintroduced in the Vibram Morflex micro-cellular soling compound.
Vibram Morflex is 1/3 the weight of composition rubber, and provides
maximal lightness combined with high flexibility and bounce. This sole
has excellent slip-resistance on floors, but will be slippery on ice due
to its extreme flexibility.
The inner lining is made of cow
leather instead of pig leather for increased comfort, and the footbed is
of vegetable latex with a leather upper lining. A gusseted leather
tongue with vegetable latex padding will keep water from permeating the
top of the boot, and the padding creates a soft cushion over the instep.
All components, including hardwear and laces, are italian made. Handmade in Onè di Fonte, Italy.
