Why it is renowned
Highsnobiety picked the HELIOT EMIL hiking boots for their many silver lace loops and the carabiner at the back, and noted that the brand brought them back because buyers asked for them.1 nss magazine covered their return in 2026, made with the Italian mountain-boot maker Diemme.2
The story
The boots are cut in suede and leather, laced at the front, and set on a rubber midsole and a chunky Vibram outsole, with a carabiner fastening at the heel counter.3 The current pairs are made with Diemme, a maker of mountain footwear in Italy, and are handmade there, from the cutting of the leather to the finishing.2
