In the early 1970s, amid a progressive change taking place in Italy, the industry represented one of the turning points in the country. Alessandro Marcolin, the company's owner, saw the positive engagement in the industry and decided to develop and create a product that stood for both quality and technology at the same time. All of this came from a workshop for footwear, established in 1975. This combination became a success for the company. CRISPI Sport, started in 1975 as a workshop for hiking boots, has seen the market grow and has become prominent in this niche, and is now one of the most valuable companies in Italy and abroad.
THE CRISPI CONCEPT
CRISPI Sport is founded on the binomial of quality and technology and is one of the most qualified companies in the outdoor field. With this philosophy, the company creates soft boots made from top-quality leather, with shock-absorbing areas in the soles. 1975 marks the anniversary of the CRISPI Legend, and since then, it has been known for its top quality. Today, 40 years later, CRISPI remains loyal to this philosophy and produces high-quality shoes in a competitive market.
Looking into the Future
CRISPI now targets a market of specialists as they focus on producing niche products to leverage the technology and knowledge they have gained over the years. Therefore, the different CRISPI areas vary: ATF (Alpine Touring Freeride), Telemark, paragliding, which offers a patented system to ensure maximum ankle protection during the landing phase, country spirit created with thorough research on specific usage materials such as ABSS (Ankle Bone Support System), DTL (Dual Tech Lining), the Black Quality segment, which supplies special forces in a number of countries worldwide, mountaineering, and trekking, enabling all outdoor enthusiasts to experience the technology applied in these different sectors.
Since 1975
CRISPI is a rare example of a perfect balance between technology and tradition. For over 40 years, this successful binomial has made the company a global leader in all its production niches, without major slogans or promises. They had a passion for high-quality shoes and the courage to let the results speak for themselves to achieve constant improvement – model after model.
