Vibram Sole Factor
Vibram’s new Sole Factor program aims to reduce waste and bring new life to your shoes. Regardless of shoe style, shape or original sole material, Vibram’s Sole Factor will slap an all-new Vibram sole on there starting at $75. Most times the uppers of shoes will be in perfectly good condition, but the soles will wear out and leave them destined for the trash. Do yourself and the environment a favor and breath new life into your old kicks.
