Vibram

In the production of high-performance rubber soles for the sports, industrial, leisure, orthopedic and repair markets. In 1935, Italian Alpine Club member Vitale Bramani was part of an expedition on Resica Mountain where six climbers lost their lives due to their low-quality footwear. Upon his return, Bramani had the brilliant idea of prototyping a vulcanized rubber sole with help from the rubber experts at the Pirelli Tire Company. This breakthrough and the Carrarmato Sole’s design revolutionized mountain climbing and footwear. Thus, Vibram was born. The Vibram name is an acronym for its founder’s name, Vitale Bramani. Over the last 75 years, Vibram has been committed to developing an extensive range of high-performance products for a wide range of activities and lifestyles. Thanks to ongoing investments in research and development, Vibram has cultivated an international reputation synonymous with quality, performance and safety.
