Zamberlan

Zamberlan hiking boots combine traditional leather craftsmanship with practical mountain technology. At Behind The Pines, our selection brings together the Toblach and Tofane: two Italian-made boots with distinct purposes, from daily walks and weekend trails to backpacking on demanding terrain. The right choice starts with how you plan to use them.

Italian bootmaking since 1929

Founded in 1929, Zamberlan remains a family-run company with roots at the foot of Italy's Piccole Dolomiti. Its approach centres on carefully selected leather, considered construction and attention to fit. That balance of useful design and lasting quality is what we look for at Behind The Pines.

Toblach or Tofane?

The Zamberlan Toblach GORE-TEX Brown combines waxed full-grain leather, Ideal-welted construction and a Vibram Litebase outsole. Its cushioned design suits hiking and everyday wear: a considered option when you want mountain character in a boot you can also wear around town.

The Zamberlan Tofane GORE-TEX RR NW Waxed Brick is designed for backpacking and rougher terrain. Norwegian-welted construction, a Vibram NorTrack outsole and rubber toe protection give it a more substantial build. It can be resoled, making it worth considering for regular mountain use and long-term ownership.

Weather protection, with the right fit

Both models use GORE-TEX for waterproof, breathable protection. A membrane is one part of the choice; fit, intended terrain and the feel of the boot matter just as much. Compare the wider hiking shoe collection if you are deciding between a leather boot and a lighter alternative, or browse our GORE-TEX footwear for other weather-ready options.

Try boots with the socks you intend to wear. Check that your heel feels secure, your toes have room and the lacing holds your foot without uncomfortable pressure. Our hiking socks are a useful starting point when putting your walking kit together. Take time to assess the fit before committing to a long route.
