From Montebelluna to K2
In 1897, 17-year-old Giuseppe Garbuio opens the “Fabbrica Scarpe Montello” in Montebelluna near Treviso. Dolomite's history begins with this shoe factory.
In 1954, on 31 July, Achille Compagnoni and Lino Lacedelli become the first to reach the summit of K2. According to Dolomite, the Italian expedition wore the brand's handmade mountain boots.
That is where the 54 in the name comes from: “Cinquantaquattro”, Italian for the year of the expedition. The 54 line still draws on this story today. Today's shoe is not an expedition boot. Dolomite describes the 54 Low Evo as a shoe for everyday wear, travel and walks.
From rock to pavement
The shape has stayed the same: the long lacing, the distinctive rand, the leather. Today the 54 is worn mostly in the city. In the Saxifraga 3.0 collection, the 54 Low gets a suede upper and a Vibram sole with a tread inspired by asphalt.
Three versions of the 54 and the story behind the brand are in our brand world Dolomite: outdoor meets lifestyle.
Looking after it
A 54 does not have to be thrown away once the first sole is worn. Many models in the 54 range can be resoled by a cobbler. The footbed and laces are sold separately.
