FAQ – Vibram shoe men
GALIBIER
The midsole is the layer between the outsole and the insole. Its main role is to provide cushioning, shock absorption and comfort, while offering a degree of rigidity or flexibility depending on the type of shoe (e.g. hiking, running).
Resurfacing is generally recommended when the stud depth has been reduced to around 3 to 4 millimeters, or when wear on the outsole reaches the midsole (the cushioning layer). The aim is to replace the outsole before wear damages the shoe's main structure.
When purchasing a Vibram men's shoe, it is essential to always consider both price and repairability. Our technical rubber models are not disposable products: thanks to our Norwegian stitching system, they are fully resoleable. The initial cost is amortized over several decades of use. The result is reliable equipment that's ultimately very economical over time.
