Vibram Sole Catalog OUTSOLE CATALOG CHINA 2019 The Vibram Story In 1935, Italian Alpine Club member Vitale Bramani led an expedition to summit Punta Rasica, a challenging peak in the northern Italian Alps. The climbers used heavy, hobnailed boots for the approach, and switched to thin-soled rock climbing boots for the ascent. These climbing boots proved fatal when the expedition was struck by a sudden blizzard. Six members of the team perished on the mountain from frostbite and exposure because their footwear lacked traction and prevented them from reaching shelter below. It was this tragic experience that drove Bramani to create and patent an all-purpose climbing sole that was lightweight, durable, and flexible. He partnered with Leopoldo Pirelli of Pirelli Tires to develop the first vulcanized rubber climbing sole, creating the iconic Carrarmato (Italian for “tank tread”) design. This revolutionary breakthrough for the mountain climbing and footwear worlds led Bramani to establish Vibram in 1937. The legendary Carrarmato sole has conquered Everest and K2, and continues to conquer countless peaks today. For more than 80 years, Vibram has been committed to developing an extensive range of high-performance soling products for a wide variety of activities and lifestyles. Thanks to continuous investments in research and development, Vibram has built an international reputation synonymous with quality, performance, and innovation. Vibram. Your connection to Earth.

  • How to Make Huaraches
    HOW TO MAKE HUARACHES These instructions will help you make you your own huaraches from scratch using our Xero Shoes Classic Kit with Vibram rubber. If you’ve purchased either the 4mm Connect or 6mm Contact kit with FeelTrue™ rubber outsoles — the only outsole made specifically for barefoot running sandals —click here for instructions. (Find out more about our FeelTrue™ products here) And, at the end of the instructions you’ll learn how to tie huaraches. WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE YOUR HUARACHES: • Some sort of sole material. Again, we made our FeelTrue rubber to be the best combination of strength, flexibility, and barefoot feel. Another good option is the material in our Classic kit, the 4mm Vibram Cherry. • Something to lace the sole to your feet — about 60-72” per lace (depending on your size). You can use leather lace, hemp cord, etc. We use 5/32" polyester cord… it’s soft, durable, colorful and provides the right amount of support (too thin can hurt, too thick gets unwieldy). • Piece of paper and a marker (like a Sharpie) — to trace your foot. • Pencil — to transfer your foot template to the sole material. • Strong scissors — to cut your tracing and the sole material. • Leather punch — to make the lacing holes in the sole (NOTE: We do not recommend using a nail or knife to make the hole. Holes made that way tend to tear). You want the holes to be the same size, or slightly smaller, than your cord. We use a 1/8” punch for our 5/32” cord (the hole is 1/32” smaller that the cord).
