The Olympic soles that never grow old
The Olympic soles that never grow old
There is a piece of history that still walks the streets of Cortina d’Ampezzo. It isn't just the boots that have traversed decades of snow, forests, and Dolomite trails, but the soles that have supported them. Featuring the inscriptions “Cortina” and “Montagna” alongside a stylized mountain peak design, the Cortina soles were originally created by SVIG as a tribute to the 1956 Winter Olympic Games.
Many years later, Cortina soles remain as relevant as ever: a winning choice for mountain lovers and those who value quality products. Made from a Trekking compound—renowned for its quality, comfort, and grip—they are available in classic black and a more sustainable "nicotine" color infused with cork granules. They remain the ideal choice for hiking boots and winter footwear.
A Legacy of Continuity
Today, as the Queen of the Dolomites has just finished hosting the 2026 Olympics, these soles stand out as a symbol of continuity: a tangible memory that united past and future, artisanal tradition, and global sport.
Choosing to repair with Cortina soles today means believing in sustainability and the authenticity of quality Made in Italy. In 1956, Cortina inaugurated a dream; in 2026, it renewed it. SVIG’s Cortina soles are not just a collector’s item, but a practical choice: a piece of history that does not wear away and continues to live beneath our every step.
