What Makes Vibram Hiking Boots So Great?
Vibram is renowned for its high-quality footwear and soles that provide exceptional grip and support. The Vibram soles were invented in 1935 by Vitale Bramani who felt soles did a poor job of insulating feet or providing comfort and set out to create a pair that would transform lives and survive the toughest elements. Investing in premium soles is worthwhile for long-distance walking- a good sole will provide comfort and prevent friction and blistering. Vibram was first used on mountaineering boots which makes them ideal for rocky underfoot and muddy hill walks. Hillwalkers and outdoor retailers have grown to love and trust the brand because of their expertise and high-quality products. If you’re serious about the outdoors, you should invest in a pair of Vibram boots.
The materials used in vibram walking boots play a key role in comfort, durability, and performance.
- Leather uppers: Offer long-term durability, structure, and natural protection against wear.
- Nubuck and suede: Softer leather options that balance comfort, breathability, and support.
- Synthetic fabrics: Lightweight and quick-drying, often used to reduce overall boot weight.
- Waterproof membranes: Help block water while allowing moisture vapour to escape, supporting dry and comfortable feet.
