Vibram is the world leader in high performance rubber soles.  For more than 70 years, the famous yellow octagon has been synonymous with quality, performance, safety, innovation and design worldwide. Since revolutionizing the sport with the creation of the first rubber sole for mountain climbing in the ‘30s, Vibram has positioned itself as the market standard. Vibram soles, created with a desire to increase safety and protection levels, are the result of a constant commitment to research and development. They proved to be irreplaceable companions during many extreme expeditions, conquering Everest, K2 and almost all the highest peaks in the world.

   
 
The Vibram soles used in these Grisport products are developed exclusively for Grisport. 
Each new Vibram product is designed using only the latest designs and the best compounds for its specific use. New soles are always produced with three objectives:
