With over 80 years of experience, the company continues to transform the excellence it has cultivated in the outdoor world into essential safety standards for the professional sector.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1jn9fc0ld0\"><b>WORK &amp; SAFETY<\/b><span style=\"white-space: pre;\"> <\/span><br data-newline=\"\">Vibram\u2019s Work &amp; Safety division did not emerge as an isolated vision, but as a natural evolution of a mission that began in 1937, when the need to ensure traction and reliability on rugged terrain led to the creation of the first rubber sole for mountaineering. With the same goal of safety and stability, Vibram entered the safety footwear sector over sixty years ago, in 1964, when Red Wing, a prestigious U.S. footwear brand, recognizing the company\u2019s excellence in the outdoor segment, initiated a collaboration to develop high-performance soles for work footwear as well. This marked Vibram\u2019s debut in the industrial sector, with an initial focus on the U.S. market. In Europe, expansion has occurred more recently, driven by the growing need to raise safety standards and introduce increasingly advanced technologies, especially in the most complex work environments, where equipment is not merely an accessory but a natural extension of the worker in the footwear sector.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1jn9f88om0\"><b>NEW PRODUCTS<\/b><br data-newline=\"\">In support of this commitment to setting new safety standards in the world of safety footwear, Vibram has recently developed and introduced the Megagrip Pro compound. This state-of-the-art solution is designed to offer even higher levels of traction, particularly for workers operating in outdoor environments and on uneven or unpredictable surfaces.<br data-newline=\"\">Megagrip Pro represents the professional evolution of the established Megagrip technology, which has long been considered a benchmark in the world of athletic footwear for its grip performance. Applied to the Work &amp; Safety segment, this innovation brings the same standards of excellence to work environments where stability and control are essential for daily safety.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image _fit-frame-height-to-content _right\" data-tap-fullscreen=\"\" data-component-id=\"doc-1jn9f2je10\">\n<div doc-image=\"image\" doc-link=\"hyperlink\" style=\"display: block; height: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 56.25%; background-image: url('https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/138770-138766.jpeg'); background-position: 50% 50%;\"><\/div><figcaption doc-editable=\"caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1jn9f28kk1\"><b>SAFETY AT VIBRAM<\/b><br data-newline=\"\">For Vibram, modern safety is driven by two key factors: materials research and constant engagement with the end user, who is no longer merely a recipient but becomes an integral part of the development and innovation process.<br data-newline=\"\"><span style=\"white-space: pre;\"> <\/span>\u201cAt Vibram, everything starts with people. Truly standing by the worker means listening to them, understanding their needs, and interpreting the challenges they face every day, to transform all of this into the right product. Our innovation doesn\u2019t just come from the lab, but from constant dialogue with those who put our products to the test every day: the user, who in this case is involved from the very first stages of development,\u201d says Annalaura Gatto, EMEA Marketing Manager for Vibram\u2019s Work &amp; Safety division. \u201cThis approach allows us to turn real-world feedback into technical solutions that offer a tangible advantage in terms of safety and stability.\u201d<br data-newline=\"\">&nbsp;<br data-newline=\"\"><b>COLLABORATIONS<\/b><\/p>\n<figure class=\"image _fit-frame-height-to-content _right\" data-tap-fullscreen=\"\" data-component-id=\"doc-1jn9f1c4e0\">\n<div doc-image=\"image\" doc-link=\"hyperlink\" style=\"display: block; height: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 56.25%; background-image: url('https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/138770-138767.jpeg'); background-position: 50% 50%;\"><\/div><figcaption doc-editable=\"caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1jn9f18ch0\">As a testament to this commitment, Vibram has recently launched a partnership with the construction company Gheller. This collaboration, designed to support the development and testing phases under real-world conditions, enables the optimization of next-generation soles, ensuring that every design addresses the challenges professionals encounter in the field.<br data-newline=\"\"><span style=\"white-space: pre;\"> <\/span>Vibram works closely with footwear brands that rely on its soles, providing comprehensive support: from the development of the initial concept to R&amp;D proposals, all the way through to the final design. Workers who use safety footwear with Vibram soles can thus count on a technologically advanced product, tested in every detail to meet any need.<br data-newline=\"\">On this symbolic day, Vibram\u2019s history in the safety footwear sector is confirmed as a journey of continuous evolution, where innovation and responsibility intertwine to contribute to a shared goal: protecting every worker, every day.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image _fit-frame-height-to-content\" data-tap-fullscreen=\"\" data-component-id=\"doc-1jn9f3jum0\">\n<div doc-image=\"image\" doc-link=\"hyperlink\" style=\"display: block; height: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 56.25%; background-image: url('https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/138770-138768.png'); background-position: 50% 50%;\"><\/div><figcaption doc-editable=\"caption\">A stage in the production of soles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world leader in rubber soles explains its approach to the industry, based on materials research and a constant focus on the end user<span style=\"white-space: pre\">  <\/span>costante dell\u2019utilizzatore finale<span style=\"white-space: pre\"> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15706,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-company-news-safety"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15696\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
