The Zamberlan Marie is supportive yet surprisingly lightweight and ideal for backpacking and hiking off-trail in a variety of conditions.
Part of Zamberlan's Epic Women collection, the Marie is a salute to Marie Paradis, the first woman to ever ascend Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak. A poor maidservant at a Chamonix Inn, Marie made the summit of Mont Blanc in hopes of improving her situation and thus set off without any mountaineering experience, reaching the summit on July 14, 1808.
------------------------------ SIZING NOTE: Because Zamberlan boots are made in Italy, we sometimes have stock in EU sizes that don't correspond exactly to common US whole and half sizes. These sizes are shown as US .25 or .75 sizes and offer a slightly more precise yet still comfortable fit. Please see our size chart for recommended fit, or contact customer service at sales@zamberlancanada.ca so you can shop confidently!
