Alpina Sports

Alpina Sports — European hiking boots built for real weather

Alpina is a Slovenian footwear maker (Žiri, since 1947) known worldwide for Nordic ski boots and robust outdoor footwear. Under the Alpina Sports line, the brand builds hiking and trekking boots that balance durability, weather protection, and day-long comfort — a great match for Latvia’s wet cobblestones, forest trails, and shoulder-season slush.

Why Alpina Sports boots works in Latvia

• Waterproof protection: models with Alpitex waterproof membrane keep out rain and slush while remaining breathable.
• Grip & stability: deep lugs and selected Vibram outsoles for traction on wet pavement and forest roots.
• Made in Europe: consistent build quality and leather uppers that break in, not break down.
• Comfort for long days: supportive heel counters and midsoles tuned for all-day walking.

Signature products & lines

• Hiking: leather-and-textile boots for mixed terrain and variable weather (e.g., Henry 2.0, Helios, Breeze).
• Mountaineering / trekking: stiffer platforms for heavier packs and rough trails.
• Nordic ski boots: the category that made Alpina a global name (race, backcountry, BC).

How to choose

• City & light trails: lighter models with softer midsoles.
• Wet & slushy: waterproof membrane + aggressive tread.
• Cold & dry: leather models without membrane + warm socks.

Tip: after hikes, dry boots at room temperature and refresh DWR (spray) on membrane models; use wax cream on full-grain leather.
