Vibram soles have since been used on boots and casual footwear worldwide and become synonymous with quality.

- 2. The Vibram Story In 1935, Vitali Bramani led an expedition into the Italian Alps. The climbers used heavy, hobnailed boots for the approach, and then switched to thin soled rock climbing boots for the ascent. These climbing boots proved fatal when the expedition was hit by thick fog and a blizzard. Six climbers died from frostbite and exposure. It was this tragic experience that drove Bramani to create and patent an all-purpose climbing sole, one that was lightweight, longwearing and flexible. He developed rubber compounds with excellent traction and high resistance to abrasion. He designed a new lug sole and called it Vibram, after his own name. VibramsoleshavegoneontoconquerMt.Everestandtobecome a legend throughout the world. Yet, the search for better soling products has never stopped. Vibram soles are now found not only on boots, but on a wide range of fine casual, service, and dress footwear. Look for the distinctive Vibram octagon with the Vibram name inside; it’s the symbol of excellence.

- 6. In 2005, Ludo, creative director of a leading athletic lifestyle brand, came across an article written by Petr Hlavacek describing the oldest shoes ever found. These belonged to Oetzi, the iceman, and dated back to 3300B.C.
