 The soles of motorcycle boots are put to hard use, particularly in certain racing disciplines such as Supermotard. With that in mind, VibramŽ is setting up a network of qualified resolers and proposes a full range of soles intended specifically for the many different motorcycle disciplines.
The resoling work requires sophisticated professional techniques to maintain the structure and qualities of the boots over a number of resolings. The resolers can also carry out more complex work and completely reconstruct boots that arrive in "desperate" condition.
VibramŽ and the resolers constantly share ideas and know-how, with information on experiences in the field always rapidly available, all via the www.vibramrepair.com site. In fact the VibramŽVSM Technology "sole + slider" system was designed with the technical assistance of Italian resoler Valter Panada.
Racer satisfaction
Racers select the resoling technique to prolong the life of their boots that offers the best range of solutions. The diversity and specificity of VibramŽ soles ensures user satisfaction and explains the strong demand since their recent market launch.
The word is out among the best racers and Valter Panada has started to receive increasing quantities of boots of all brands for replacement of the original soles with the VibramŽVSM Technology system: "the increasing demand clearly confirms that VSM is currently the best system, combining performance, flexibility and protection".
Interest in an other sole, the VibramŽMombello, was also immediate. The sole is ideal for Motocross and Enduro and offers the best combination of traction, grip and resistance to wear. Confronted with worn soles on a daily basis, Valter Panada notes that "the durability of the VibramŽMonbello sole is at least four times greater than other soles".
In 2005, several thousand racers switched to VibramŽ to resole their boots, for Supermotard as well as for Trial, Motocross and Enduro.
