VIBRAM

Vibram® is a world leader in the technological development and production of high-performance rubber soles for the occupational safety, outdoor, lifestyle, orthopaedic and repair markets. For over 80 years, it has been a byword for quality, performance, safety, innovation and design.

U-Power has chosen Vibram® soles, the result of many years of extensive research, to provide optimum levels of safety and worker well-being.

HIGH STRENGTH AND GRIP

 

From the ingenious intuition of using the same technique used to make tyres for soles for footwear came the first Vibram® branded rubber soles and the famous Carrarmato design that revolutionised mountaineering and the world of footwear, guaranteeing unprecedented performance in terms of scuff resistance, traction and grip.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE SOLES

 

The secret of Vibram®’s performance is the optimal combination of Design and the use of exclusive rubber compounds. For over 80 years, Vibram® has been supplying the market with the most advanced, high-performance soles. Vibram® designers work in conjunction with the Vibram Tester Team, our sole partners, as well as with biomechanical institutes to provide performance soles that are always at the cutting edge.
Vibram® soles are required to pass 3 levels of testing before they reach the market.

LABORATORY TESTING

 

The first level of testing is carried out in the laboratory, in a controlled environment, with verification of the physical-mechanical properties that are handled using machines to test for the following:

  • ✔ Slip resistance
  • ✔ Abrasion resistance
  • ✔ Degree of elasticity
  • ✔ Degree of hardness and density
 LABORATORY TESTING
 FIELD TESTING

FIELD TESTING

 

The second level of testing is carried out by the Vibram® Tester Team directly in the field, outdoors and in the most extreme conditions to test the following:

  • ✔ Soles
  • ✔ Designs
  • ✔ Compounds

LIVE TESTING

 

The third level of testing is an indoor test based on scientific protocols (‘in-vivo’) to test the performance of the compound in terms of reliability and comparison with other compounds that have already been tested and are considered reliable using a flat sole design.

 LIVE TESTING
 DESIGN

DESIGN

 

Vibram® is designed for use in a wide range of occupational and safety environments and provides a high level of grip and durability with excellent heat and tear resistance.
