ROA gets its name from a beautiful hiking spot in the Dolomites called Forcella della Roa, and this stunner of a sneaker is the perfect expression of that. Part Alpine hiking boot, part modern athletic shoe, it’s designed for people like us who never want to sacrifice aesthetics—even in the roughest, slipperiest conditions. And with a Vibram® Ecostep sole made from natural materials, you don’t have to sacrifice traction or the environment either.
