STRADA BOOTS - WEEKEND NOTES

It's time for some off-town weekends, and Volta team engaged the talented Italian illustrator Anna Parini for an unconventional illustrated story featuring the Strada Boots.

Tim and Marco are spending a long-weekend at the mountain, with friends. They decide to leave the group for a day, and explore the area. They step in the car and drive to the closest town neighborhood, where the path to reach the mountain-top begins. Once there though, Marco feels like visiting the old village, perhaps finding a nice place to have dinner with the rest of the crew, while Tim cannot wait to take his walk up-hill, into nature. They decide to separate, and meet again in the evening. Two friends, two different paths to follow...and their own field notes.

ON THE PRODUCT

A combination of premium Italian leather and waterproof nylon on the upper, built on the Vibram CT® cross-training sole, the Strada Boots come on two different color combinations, ivory-brown and red-tan.
