Garmont is a company based in northern Italy, specializing in ski boots and hiking footwear. With extensive experience and a comprehensive product range, its offerings are sold in over 30 countries worldwide.
GARMONT is an outdoor footwear brand produced by Italy’s Morlin company. As a specialized shoemaker, Morlin has grown from producing just 1,000 pairs of shoes annually to several hundred thousand today, marking 136 years of history and five generations of shoe-making craftsmanship.
Today, GARMONT offers a complete range of outdoor footwear comprising five major series and dozens of models, catering comprehensively to the diverse needs of outdoor enthusiasts. In 2009, Garmont launched the 9.81 trail running shoe series, which stands out in the outdoor running market with its classic ADD design and ultra-lightweight construction. The name 9.81 is derived from the gravitational acceleration constant, symbolizing the challenge of defying gravity with every step in these shoes.
2010 marks the tenth anniversary of GARMONT’s entry into the Chinese market. To express gratitude to Chinese customers for their support over the past decade, GARMONT’s Italian headquarters, in collaboration with its Chinese distributor, Sharandorji, have introduced a special 10th Anniversary Edition ― the MONTELLO III GTX. This model is a China-exclusive hiking shoe that combines functionality, casual style, and fashion, ideal for business, travel, and everyday outdoor wear. It will be launched in February 2010 at a special promotional price.
For over 140 years since its founding, GARMONT has been known for its professional mountaineering, trekking, and hiking footwear. As lifestyles evolved, more people sought to incorporate this comfortable, functional footwear into daily life. In response, GARMONT developed its hiking series, offering various styles suitable for outdoor, fashion, sports, business, and running needs.
MONTELLO is the name of a small hill near GARMONT’s headquarters, a source of inspiration for the brand’s outdoor footwear designs. Over the years, while GARMONT’s styles and names have continually evolved, the name MONTELLO has remained unchanged. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of GARMONT’s presence in China, the Italian headquarters, following suggestions from the Chinese distributor, has specially designed a business-travel version of the hiking series, named MONTELLO III, and is offering it to Chinese consumers at a special discounted price.
