VIVibram develops rubber soles and footwear for outdoor and everyday use. Its own history traces the Carrarmato mountaineering sole to inventor and climber Vitale Bramani in 1937, combining rubber with a lugged tread design. The brand has since expanded into other sole materials and footwear. The historical innovation does not mean that every sole has the same grip on every surface; users should assess the compound, tread, terrain and conditions of the particular product.
