Vibram® Hiker Soles
Overall design puts harder-compound, abrasion-resistant rubber in larger lugs on the perimeter for gripping and braking power while softer rubber in a central swath of smaller lugs increases traction on slippery surfaces.

Vibram® Chameleon™ Soles
Multi-directional oval lugs provide excellent grip, stability and traction on varied terrain as well as on wet surfaces. This Merrell exclusive allows consumers to shift speeds, sites and steepness of terrain with confidence.

Vibram® Thermo™ Soles
Oversize peripheral lugs and sharp-honed interior cleats and studs churn through soft surfaces while maintaining lateral stability. Double cleat pillars at the heel anchor the foot on steep downhills.

Vibram® Multi-Sport™ Soles
On the perimeter, high surface area V-form lugs do the heavy lifting and are siped and channeled for wet conditions. Octogrip™ tread on the interior stabilize the heel and touch down and provide a launching effect under the toes. A fanned concentration of channeled lugs under the arch flex under pressure for sideways stability in eccentric movements and uneven terrain.

Vibram® Aqua Sport™ Soles
Concentrically configured, they have structural lugs in a durable rubber compound along the perimeter for grip on uneven surfaces. Wave-like interior welts in a softer compound with graduated suction cups are heavily siped for wet surface traction.

Vibram® Race™ Soles
A high-density compound at the rear resists and helps center the heel. Sticky TC5+ rubber from the heel through the toe features self-cleaning sawtooth lugs in a multi-directional pattern for grip and stability. At the forefoot, peripheral flex grooves increase propulsion.

Vibram® Catalyst™ Soles
Prominent, oversize chevron-pattern tread provides grip on high relief surfaces while its heavy siping grips in wet conditions. The heel has a modified horseshoe configuration—also heavily siped—for braking power. Between the chevrons, sole foundation is lightened by panels of tough-gauge screening.
