Dachstein Shoes Made with Tradition and Quality
Dachstein: The Birth of a Traditional Brand
Anton Lintner founded his company Dachstein, named after the highest mountain in Upper Austria, in 1925 with one mission in mind – developing the perfect footwear for adventures on the mountain. Since then, the company has developed into a specialist for ski and mountain boots. Today, Dachstein is considered a leader in the market when it comes to trekking shoes and mountain boots for men or women.
After a merger in the 1990s, the company was re-founded in 2013 as Dachstein Outdoor & Lifestyle GmbH. Dachstein expanded its range to include hiking boots and leisure shoes. Though the offering has changed, the values of the company founder are still very present: Dachstein shoes are designed to offer women and men the highest in function and quality. This message still stands, even after the merger with the Finnish group Luhta Sportswear in 2019.
Dachstein Hiking Boots: Innovation for Leisure Hikers and Professionals
While Dachstein's women's and men's shoes were initially made exclusively of leather, polyurethane and innovative shock absorption were added from the 1970s onwards, and ventilation systems and toe protection elements were developed. Today Dachstein combines reliable and new materials with its hiking boots for women and men for an optimal mix of function and comfort, which performs even in rough terrain.
Dachstein’s classic design is called the "Gebirgsjäger". These hiking boots made of leather and dense woven material not only offer a striking traditional design, but a safe kick on rock and uneven surfaces thanks to their secure lacing. Thanks to the non-slip, lightweight "Vibram Roccia" sole, you can reach the summit in an energy-efficient way, without getting cold feet, even in winter temperatures.
If you prefer a sporty and modern design for your hiking or trekking shoes, you’ll find great options in the Dachstein range. The models are designed with a knitted upper material or mesh, which makes them hard-wearing. The incorporated water-repellent Goretex membrane ensures that puddles and rain showers won’t be an issue for you.
Dachstein and Vibram: High-tech Partnership for Outstanding Sole Quality
With the shared goal of producing better shoes, Dachstein teamed up with the sole specialist Vibram a few years ago. Since then, high-tech materials have ensured an even better shoe experience on hiking and climbing tours.
If you choose a shoe model with a MotionFlex sole, you’ll forget your feet are in trekking shoes at all. The sole is designed to imitate walking barefoot. Your foot is secure and protected for bumps thanks to the reinforced heel area and the plastic upper material.
The Vibram Caserta incorporated into some Dachstein mountain boots, is a flat, light foam sole that really comes into its own with an impressive grip on wet surfaces. If you are planning a particularly challenging tour, the Vibram Roccia is highly recommended: Dachstein trekking shoes equipped with this studded sole can take you to the highest peaks – and keep your feet warm even at extremely low temperatures.
