The origin of vibration:
Vitale Bramni, an Italian, led a mountaineering team to explore Mount Apis and was caught in a snowstorm. Six of them died because they could not get down the mountain in time.
Afterwards, Vitale thought that this was caused by the hiking shoes used at that time. At that time, the hiking soles were made of leather, and then steel nails were nailed on the leather soles, which was very heavy and inconvenient to use. Because of this tragedy, Vitale Bramny devoted himself to developing a new generation of mountaineering soles.
Vibram rubber material:
Rubber used by Vibram includes natural rubber and synthetic rubber because they have different characteristics. Natural rubber is taken from rubber trees, and its elasticity is very good. Synthetic rubber mainly comes from petroleum, which is more wear-resistant and durable.
Vibram mixes natural rubber and synthetic rubber according to the requirements of different products, so that the soles produced can have the most correct quality and performance.
