21 Oct Why Olang is tied to Italy

Posted at 01:17h in Botte, Olang by

Founded in 1990, Olang has earned a reputation in winter and outdoor footwear through Italian design and R&D, with distribution across Europe and worldwide.

European manufacturing, carefully chosen materials

Olang manufactures its boots in European factories with skilled adult labor and processes that combine craftsmanship with modern technology. The result is consistent fit, finishes, and durability.

Key technologies to know

  • Olantex – Olang’s membrane designed for water resistance in snowy conditions and breathability (less effective in very wet slush).
  • OCsystem® – Integrated, flip-out studs to improve traction on ice and snow, developed in Italy.
  • Comfort down to −30 °C – Depending on the model (e.g., Pegaso Tex OC), with linings (often virgin wool/Isowarm) and insulating footbeds.

Care tips to extend lifespan

After outings in snow or freezing rain, air-dry your boots, wipe off snow/salt with a damp cloth, and let materials breathe away from direct heat. This simple routine helps preserve appearance and performance.
