What’s special about Vibram soles?

The simple answer: they’re specifically designed to be superior in durability and comfort for a wide range of sports and industrial activities.

The brand is the conception of an avid climber, Vitale Bramani, who in 1935 suffered a tragic expedition catastrophe in Italy that took the lives of six of his mountaineering companions. Bramani claimed the deaths were the consequence of inadequate footwear and set out to create a boot sole that proved far more effective in such conditions. His first design was the “tank tread” soles. In 1954, Vibram soles wear worn by the climbers making the first expedition to reach the summit of K2.

 

Today, Vibram is the world’s most trusted brand in sole design. Every official Vibrams sole is marked with the well recognized Vibram yellow-label. Many famous brands purchase soles from Vibram.
