Vibram Sole Factor Mobile Lab and the Vibram XS Eco climbing shoe rubber


The second stage of the Vibram Sole Factor Mobile Lab Virtual Tour begins today in the name of performance and sustainability. From 14 to 25 June, the tour is aimed at all ecologically oriented climbers. The initiative focuses on the new Vibram XS Eco rubber for climbing shoes; 20% of Vibram XS Eco is made up of offcuts from the processing of high-performance climbing compounds, allowing a significant reduction in material waste, at the same time guaranteeing the high performance standards of Vibram climbing soles.

The latest in Vibram’s range of ecologically sustainable compounds, XS Eco is specifically made for climbing, thanks to its perfect balance of grip and durability whether on cliffs or in other outdoor locations, or in the gym. At present the new green oriented rubber sole can only be found at the 2021 Virtual Tour of the Vibram Sole Factor Mobile Lab.

Any climber that wants to try Vibram XS Eco can sign up on the Vibram Testerplace platform via vibram.testerplace.com from today until 25 June. After registering and sending the request, the user will be contacted by the experts from the Vibram Sole Factor team, who will study the feasibility of resoling together with the client. Once consent has been granted, the Vibram team will organise to have the shoes picked up and redelivered as soon as they are ready, free of charge. After the shoes have been received, they can be worn and put through their paces to become true Vibram Testers. After which you will be asked to fill in a questionnaire, providing feedback on use.
