Footwear sole specialist Vibram has developed IdroGrip, which is said to provide maximum grip on wet and slippery ground. Its new StreamTread sole, which uses IdroGrip technology, has been developed for use in three Simms angling shoes. The sole is effective on all types of surface, whether rough or smooth, dry or wet. According to the company, using the soles on a wet rock surface gives the wearer the impression of wearing “sticky shoes”. It claims that it has a higher friction coefficient on wet rock than on any other water sole currently on the market. The technology enables users to remain in control in all situations, and the sole wears evenly over time.
