We belong to the outdoors, and we are driven by the desire to experience it at the fullest.
This is why the Elite project was born: working with four of the world’s best athletes to develop the ultimate soles in four different disciplines: trail running with Gediminas Grinius, mountaineering with Hervé Barmasse, approaching with Barbara Zangerl and snowboarding with Michael Mawn.
The result merges Vibram’s best in class technologies with their on-field experience to provide the highest performances, without compromises.

Mountaineering with Hervé Barmasse.
Born and raised at the base of the Matternhorn, Hervé Barmasse started climbing at a very young age and never stopped, growing an unparalleled passion and knowledge of the high mountain environment. His capability of read and respect the mountain led us to develop an Elite sole for any kind mountain experience.
