The story between DIEMME and Hiking Patrol continues to evolve. In their fourth chapter, the two brands present a new iteration of the iconic Roccia Vet — a boot that has transcended its utilitarian origins to become a symbol of technical luxury and conscious exploration. The result: the Roccia Vet Woolfelt, a silhouette that merges the artisanal savoir-faire of Northern Italy with the minimalist aesthetic and quiet outdoor spirit of Scandinavia.
Handcrafted in Montebelluna, the cradle of Italian mountain bootmaking, the Roccia Vet Woolfelt blends premium materials, responsible processes, and a construction built to last. Its upper is made from natural wool felt by Lanificio Bigagli (Prato, Italy) — a historic Tuscan mill renowned for its commitment to sustainability and material traceability. The wool, sourced from ethically raised sheep in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, provides natural insulation, breathability, and a distinct visual texture.
The design is reinforced with durable leather panels that strengthen key areas without sacrificing flexibility. Inside, a padded leather lining ensures long-lasting comfort and thermal regulation, while the ergonomic insole delivers anatomical support for both demanding hikes and urban exploration.
As with all DIEMME creations, the Roccia Vet Woolfelt is entirely handmade by expert artisans in Montebelluna — a region that has set the global standard for high-performance footwear for decades. The design is grounded by a lightweight rubber sole that offers grip, traction, and stability, making it a versatile companion for both natural landscapes and contemporary city life.
Beyond the product itself, this collaboration reflects the maturity of an ongoing dialogue between two complementary visions: DIEMME’s Italian precision and heritage, and Hiking Patrol’s slow, introspective, and functional outdoor narrative. In an era where the concept of the outdoors is being redefined as a form of personal expression, the Roccia Vet Woolfelt stands as a statement piece for those seeking authenticity, purpose, and design with substance.
