Vintage Oscar Sport Apollo Saba Black Goat-Fur “Yeti” Boots, Made in Italy
By Oscar de la Renta Active
Located in Moreno Valley, CA
A striking pair of vintage Apollo Saba après-ski boots by Oscar Sport, the specialist Italian footwear maker founded in Montebelluna in 1974. Designed with a dramatic “Yeti” silhouette, the boots feature dense, long-haired black goat fur over leather uppers, creating exceptional texture and unmistakable alpine glamour. The generous mid-calf shafts, rounded toes, and substantial molded rubber platform soles balance bold fashion with the practical character of traditional Italian après-ski footwear. A soft lined interior provides warmth, while the deeply textured soles offer stability underfoot. Their sculptural black fur and oversized proportions capture the adventurous spirit of late-20th-century ski style. Equally compelling as wearable winter fashion or as part of a vintage footwear collection, these boots can be styled with streamlined tailoring, technical outerwear, or relaxed mountain-resort clothing. The boots are unmarked for size. Based on the approximately 12-inch exterior sole length, they are estimated to fit around a men’s US 12 or EU 45; however, this is an approximation rather than a marked size. Buyers should compare the supplied exterior measurements with a well-fitting pair of boots, allowing for the thickness of the lining. The pair remains in good pre-owned vintage condition, with surface wear consistent with age and previous use. As with all vintage footwear, the soles and construction should be inspected by the buyer before extended outdoor wear. Dimensions: Overall height: 14.5 in. (36.83 cm) Exterior sole length: 12 in.
