Vibram
Grippy shoe rubber
Vibram is a brand of rubber outsoles used on hiking boots, work boots, and other footwear requiring durability and grip.
The distinctive yellow octagonal logo signals quality construction to outdoor enthusiasts.
The name has become somewhat generic for premium rubber soles: These boots have Vibram soles.
Vibram FiveFingers are the brand's minimalist toe shoes.
