The Vibram sole is a famous rubber sole product from Italy, which has the following characteristics:
- Excellent abrasion resistance: It is made of a special rubber compound that can withstand the friction of various rough surfaces and extend the service life of the sole. For example, the Vibram sole of hiking boots shows relatively little wear even after a long walk on mountain roads.
- Good anti-slip property: There are various tread patterns designed for different purposes. For instance, the Megagrip formula is suitable for a variety of wet surfaces, and the Arctic Grip is specifically designed for wet and icy surfaces, which can effectively increase the friction between the sole and the ground.
- Lightweight texture: Some series, such as Litebase, significantly reduce the weight of the sole while ensuring performance, making it easier for the wearer to walk. It is suitable for long-distance hiking and running.
- High durability: Its rubber material and manufacturing process make the sole sturdy and durable. It can withstand great pressure and tension. Even when used in harsh environments, it is not prone to problems such as cracking and deformation.
The Vibram sole is widely used. It was originally used in mountaineering boots, and now it covers a variety of types including hiking boots, trail running shoes, climbing shoes, work shoes, casual shoes, etc. It has cooperated with many world-renowned footwear brands such as Nike, Merrell, Scarpa, and so on.
