Vibram Cristy 4014 Full Soles Wedge Boot Sole
Vibram is an Italian company that has been making rubber soles since 1937 and is well known in the shoe industry for making high quality products. The soles are manufactured in Brazil, China, Czech Republic, Italy, and the United States. Vibram offers many options used by all types of manufacturers for new shoes and by thousands of cobblers for resoles and customizations. It’s rare there isn’t a Vibram option that will fit your needs.
The Vibram Cristy wedge sole 4014 is well known and used in the construction and industrial industries because it is a flat sole with a large surface area, has amazing comfort, and wonderful grip. Due to the special compound Vibram uses for this sole, it outlasts and outperforms similar style soles from their competitors. While in the past it has mostly been used on work boots, many shoe and boot companies now offer the Vibram Cristy 4014 on some of their new casual shoes and boots. We think it is a fantastic and versatile option and why we offer it for all kinds of shoes and boots. It really is that comfortable.
