Gronell Mountaineering Boots
Gronell Mountaineering Boots More about Gronell Technologies



In 1937 Nello Grossule began learning the age-old trade of the shoemaker and by crafting his first pair of mountaineering boots. The appreciation for the care and enthusiasm for the products he created convinced him that quality was the key to his success.

As the years passed he hired additional skilled craftsmen and created his trademark "GRONELL". His boots became recognized all over Italy because of their extraordinary strength and comfort and with increasing experience, Nello elaborated innovative working techniques and he devoted himself to the research of improving materials, especially the leather that he personally selects, even today.


Now, at the beginning of the new millennium, the trademark "GRONELL" is a lasting symbol of quality, testified by the certification UNI EN ISO 9002 that was obtained in December 1999. "GRONELL" today holds an essential place, nationally and internationally, in the manufacture of technical mountaineering shoes with all 14 of the worlds 8000m peaks and hundreds of lesser peaks having been successfully summited in Gronell boots.

Silvio Mondinelli reaches the top of Broad Peak (8.042m) and becomes the sixth man in history to have climbed all the 14 mountains of the earth above 8.000m without oxygen. He wears Gronell's boots with OutDry Technology.
Silvio Mondinelli, with his mate Marco Confortola left Camp III at midnight for the summit push. After more than 12 hours climbing, in very tough weather conditions (snowing, cold and strong wind) and obliged to create a trail in the deep snow, they have reached the top of Broad Peak (8.042 m)

At 12,30 a.m. Pakistan time, Silvio Mondinelli have so completed his "14th 8.000ers" quest. In 21 years, after Rheinold Messner (ITA) exploit, only other four men did it without oxygen support: Erhard Loretan (SUI), Juanito Oiarzabal (ESP), Alberto Inurrategi (ESP) and Ed Viesturs (USA). Now Mondinelli have joined them and can be probably considered the strongest Himalayan climber in activity.

Slivio Mondinelli boots are specially made by the italian footwear maker
GRONELL using OUTDRY, a unique and patented technology for waterproofness and insulation in the most extreme climate conditions.
