News — Vibram

The story of Vibram begins with its founder, Vitale Bramani — an Italian mountaineer with a deep understanding of the dangers of the outdoors.

In 1935, Bramani took part in an Alpine expedition that ended in tragedy. Six members of his climbing team lost their lives due to extreme weather conditions and inadequate footwear. At the time, mountaineers relied on leather-soled boots or metal-studded designs, both of which failed in icy, unpredictable environments.

This moment became the turning point.
