Founded in the 1960s, Tecnica has a proud history defined by their passion for hard work, growth and innovation. They produce cutting edge high performance footwear, and have been a leader in research and development ever since their inception, which has led to them becoming the largest European manufacturer of outdoor footwear. Perhaps the greatest example of the way that Tecnica lead the way is via their Moon Boot product, first manufactured in 1969. The company saw that there was a growing trend of skiing in their native land of Italy, and decided to emulate the style of boots that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin wore as they landed on the moon. The Tecnica Moon Boots became inextricably linked with the brand and have gone on to be a permanent reminder of Tecnica's enduring style.
As mentioned, Tecnica's strengths come from their constant desire to improve and create better performance products. Every item in the range provided by Tecnica is carefully examined and studied to ensure that they provide optimum performance for the task in hand. They design their products to effortless combine classic style with versatility that high performance requires.
But above all of this, Tecnica understand that the way the shoe fits is the most important feature of any shoe. To ensure this, they have developed unique solutions to ensure that their shoes provide an incredible fit directly out of the box. It is this level of attention and passion for their products that make Tecnica the choice of many high performance award winning athletes.
The perfect example of the attention to detail that Tecnica provide can be found in the Cochise 100 Anthracite 18 Ski Boot. They have a great design that give the appearance and feel of an alpine boot, but the innovative i-Rebound system that Tecnica have developed gives fantastic rear support and invaluable control for your ski. In addition, the inbuilt Ski/Hike mechanism allows for you to easily switch mode and make your way up a summit or stroll through a village.
If trekking is more your kind of thing, the Aconcagua GTX is the perfect shoe to wear on you journey. Suitable for all weather conditions, the Aconcagua comes with a breathable and waterproof leather upper and a shock absorbent midsole that maximises comfort and provides long lasting quality.
