About Grisport

In 1977, Italian brothers Graziano and Mano Grigolato created their first pair of leather walking shoes in the front room of their small home in northern Italy.

As demand for their hand-crafted footwear grew, the brothers purchased a plot of land on the foot of the Dolomite mountains to build their factory.

Along with their wives and children, the two Grigolato brothers still live in the Grisport factory today, overseeing the production of the footwear they first created so many years ago.

A true family business!

why grisport is different

Expertise, Experience, Innovation

These are the ingredients used to patent the construction of Grisport’s footwear and the techniques used to make high-performance membranes and materials. Yet, Grisport still incorporates the traditional experience and attention to detail associated with hand-crafted products.

Responsibility

Grisport has produced a Charter of Human Responsibilities, or Code of Ethics, to ensure that the company is committed to respecting the rights, work, and dignity of the people involved on all levels and in all areas of manufacturing their products.

Traceability

Grisport has implemented an effective traceability system that enables them to trace back every step in the production process so they always know which materials were used.
