Its high hardness value is a key factor when crampons are used on snowy and icy terrain.
It is widely used on motorbike soles due to its extreme durability.

VIBRAM® XS Trek is Vibram technical trekking compound that represents the world wide reference for this segment both for performance and durability.

The grip is exactly what is needed from difficult trekking to multisport. Coupled with big lug sole design, it is possible to enhance traction and grip on demand. When used in at a low thickness, the feedback is communicative. The information about grip and geometry of terrain prevents slipping and tripping. Different hardness’s are available for this family of compounds to obtain a better compromise between performance and comfort.

VIBRAM® XS Trek works in best combination with shock absorbing materials that enhance cushioning.

VIBRAM® Multitrek is a family of technical compounds that allow great overall performance for multisport, outdoor, mountain bike, snow sports, and water sports.
Its principal characteristics are flexibility and wet traction.
The “non marking” version allows the compound to be used for indoor and nautical sports.
A wide range of possible designs give customers the freedom to optimize the performance of the sole with respect to the specific application.

This exclusive VIBRAM® Fire&Ice compound has been studied for extreme applications and maintains its performance values in a wide range of temperatures (from – 20°C to + 250 °C).
The formulation satisfies both requirements for fire resistance from NFPA and the Ross cold flex at -23°C.
It can be used in any outdoor activity where fire resistance and high grip performance have to be maintained in very cold weather conditions.
Firefighters, military personnel, paramilitary personnel, and outdoor workers operating in northern countries are the candidates for this exceptional Vibram compound.

VIBRAM® Flame is a Vibram specific compound for work and safety soles with improved flame resistance that meets the EN 15090 standard.
While maintaining Vibram high standards for performance in grip and durability, it satisfies all ISO standards for protective outsoles: tear strength resistance, oil resistance, hot contact resistance, and flexing resistance.
Its main application is for fire-fighter shoes and related shoe activities.

VIBRAM® OR is a Vibram specific compound for work and safety soles.
While maintaining Vibram’s high level of performance in grip and durability, the compound satisfies all ISO standards for protective outsoles: tear strength resistance, oil resistance, hot contact resistance, and flexing resistance.
The design of the sole meets the slip resistance requirements of ISO13287.

Available in different versions (OR, OR Plus, TC4+).

VIBRAM® ESD is Vibram specific compound for work and safety soles where antistatic performance of the sole is a requirement.
While maintaining Vibram’s high level of performance in grip and durability, the compound satisfies all ISO standards for protective outsoles: tear strength resistance, oil resistance, hot contact resistance, and flexing resistance.

ESR is a Vibram specific compound for work and safety soles where protection from electric shock is a requirement.
While maintaining Vibram’s high level of performance in grip and durability, the compound satisfies all ISO standards for protective soles: tear strength resistance, oil resistance, hot contact resistance, and flexing resistance.

Vibram® Superwork is the newest Vibram rubber compound for work and safety soles that meets the requirements of ISO 20345 and similar PPE standards.

Being both antistatic and oil resistant, as a colourable and a non-marking compound, Vibram® Superwork sets up new standards in safety rubber compounds:

• With its superior abrasion (<100 mm3), it offers improved durability as it far exceeds the abrasion requirements of ISO 20345 and similar PPE standards.

• With a tear strength value 50% higher than those required (>12 kg/cm Vs 8 Kg/cm), it is truly a performance compound.

Vibram® Superwork is also available in both Electric Shock Resistant (ESR) and with Electric Shock Dissipative (ESD) versions and meets the requirements of EN 15090 flame resistant standards.

Vibram® Superwork is recommended for heavy construction, mining, off-shore drilling uses.

VIBRAM® Gumlite’s slip resistance is good on flat and polished surfaces. This soft compound enhances secure walking and running and the sole has a large contact surface area.
Its lightness is significant for both shoes and boots, mainly in ascent walking where the shoe weight is determinant in energy cost terms.
The cushioning is enough for long walking and soft running activities, while its vibration absorbing properties allows use of this compound in snowboard and motorbike boots.

The Gumlite3D version combines lightness and performance. The compound is lighter than a rubber and more durable than expanded rubber.

VIBRAM® Newflex has good slip resistance and cushioning capability.
Its lightness is significant for both shoes and boots, mainly in ascent walking where the shoe weight is determinant in energy cost terms.

The Newflex3D version combines extreme lightness and shock absorbing making it the lightest rubber based sole.
