What to know about Diemme
They make boots for other houses
The family-run Veneto factory produces footwear for Chanel, Gucci and Maison Margiela, so you're buying direct from the maker behind those labels.
Mountain boots built for pavement
Lugged soles, reinforced toes and leather sneakers come out of a region long central to hiking-boot production, but the shapes read as city footwear.
Around $390 for the signature boot
The Cornaro zip boot sits near $390, placing Diemme above mass outdoor brands but below designer pricing for comparable Italian construction.
