Vibram brings Arctic Grip technology to Lineapelle

26/09/2016
Footwear brand Vibram presented its Arctic Grip technology, designed to give extra grip on wet ice, at the Lineapelle exhibition in Milan (September 20-22).

The technology, which was first unveiled at the ISPO trade fair in Munich earlier this year, uses only Vibram rubber and doesn’t require any external accessories, as is the case with many boots designed for use on ice.

Vibram says the sole features a special tread to increase traction on wet ice, and lugs made using different Vibram compounds. It adds that the lugs are thermochromatic, activating at temperatures below 0°C.
