Breathing new life into your outdoor kicks
Vibram. Pretty much the world leader in the development of hardwearing rubber outsoles – favored by every high-end outdoor footwear company worth mentioning, they tend to outlast the uppers they’re attached to. But being a brand that literally gets stood upon, as appreciated as it is, Vibram soles rarely get seen. Vibram has decided to give everyone the opportunity to benefit from their outsole technologies with their Resole if you care initiative. This re-use and repair program means that you can take your favorite outdoor footwear to selected Vibram footwear dealers, where you can have your worn-out outsoles professionally removed and brand-new Vibram outsoles (and midsoles in some cases) refitted. This brilliant program uses the very latest Vibram outsole compounds, using their most up-to-date materials, using the same patterns as found on many new high-end outdoor footwear models. In short, Vibram gives you the opportunity to breathe new life into your favorite shoes, those old dogs that you love and which you’ve spent hours shaping to the nuances of your feet, and which may have many years of life left in the uppers. Thanks to Vibram and their ‘Resole if you care’ initiative you’re saving those from ending up in landfills.
The program has options for hiking, approach, running, and cycling shoes as well as solutions for many lifestyle models, so no matter what your outdoor passion, there’s a really good chance that your favorite footwear can live on for more seasons of adventures.
