A first, our intro to Zamberian-a third generation Italian family owned brand of highly evolved footwear-really impressed us...

There's an abundance of tech features in each pair Zamberlan footwear--including task, anatomical and gender specific lasts and something called Foot Wrapping System- that?shapes the upper (one piece of leather)-with special patented moulds.?padded collar uppers, heel and toe cups with sculptured padding for protection and fit, anatomically designed footbeds that are removable/washable, Norwegian Welt construction ?"features two lines of stitching: the first fixes the upper to the midsole (which is specifically designed for this use), and the second fixes the upper to the insole, which will later be glued to the sole."...and?most impressively Zamberlan Welted construction-a patent pending that "combines the strength and durability of Norwegian Welted construction with the lightness and comfort of a lasted construction boot. The upper is stitched to the specially made insole with a single stitch line and the upper adhesion area is then glued around the insole to form the body onto which the sole is attached." HydroBloc? treated leathers for enhanced water?repellence, PLUS assorted 'systems' that guarantee the ideal flex, lateral support, and??torsional stability and flexion at the foot?s natural flex point.?

Fore more---the website has all the features...
We saw selections for speed hiking ("not a trail runner"-different foot motion), trekkers/alpine kicks---and casual everyday boots with stylish uppers on a technical platform. We actually found these all good looking shoes...and note to self-volunteer for demoing.
