Velasca’s spring and summer lookbook was among the fashion highlights of 2025 for anyone interested in classic, Italian-style shoes and college-inspired clothing. The brand has entered fall in a similar stride, with the new Velasca Alpée Hiking Boots delivering a fresh and invigorating take on a reliable and familiar footwear style.

Take one glance at the Velasca Alpée Hiking Boots, and this unique take is instantly clear, with the striking combination of two different leather finishes used in the design. Pairing smooth and greased suede, the two-tone aesthetics are complemented by the precise use of Blake stitching, resulting in a lightweight yet durable boot for all seasons.

Both types of leather used in the Velasca Alpée Hiking Boots are fully water-resistant, with a veining effect on the smooth leather elements that accentuates their character and charm. The rubber lug sole, designed by the renowned Vibram, delivers a grip comparable to dedicated climbing boots, ready to handle the toughest of terrains.

All of these elements combine for a pair of hiking boots that take inspiration from vintage boots, even down to the two-tone laces traditionally used in mountaineering. With calf leather lining elevating the comfort of the regular fit, they’re as suitable for long hikes as they are for social gatherings.

If you’re looking for sturdy and resilient footwear that captures the essence of Italian craftsmanship, the Velasca Alpée Hiking Boots are a worthy addition to your wardrobe.
