Description

The Vibram Explosion Rubber Heel delivers durability, comfort, and exceptional traction. Made by Vibram, a world leader in rubber soles, it is designed for demanding urban use. Its rugged tread grips securely on wet, slippery, or uneven city surfaces. As a result, it offers stability and confidence with every step.

Moreover, the rubber compound resists wear and lasts longer than standard heels. It absorbs impact effectively, reducing foot fatigue during long days on your feet. Many of our pilot and medical staff customers rely on it daily. They value the combination of grip, comfort, and resilience in busy, high-pressure and often oily or slippery environments.

The Vibram Explosion Heel pairs perfectly with the Vibram Explosion Cover Sole. Together, they maximise traction while protecting the original shoe sole. A cover sole not only adds grip but also prolongs the life of the shoe’s sole. Furthermore, it can be removed and replaced when worn, avoiding the need for a full resole. This makes it ideal for city shoes that need to look smart and perform reliably.

Additionally, the heel remains flexible while offering firm support. It balances rugged performance with comfort, keeping each step secure. Its low-profile design preserves the classic lines of heritage and dress shoes. Consequently, it suits both professional footwear and premium casual shoes.

Overall, the Vibram Explosion Rubber Heel improves shoe performance and wearer comfort. It meets the demands of busy urban life with ease. Its high-quality craftsmanship sets it apart from other heels. For anyone wanting long-lasting grip, durability, and comfort, it is a smart investment. Combined with the Explosion Cover Sole, it provides a complete solution for maintaining stylish, reliable, and well-protected city footwear.

Our Method

  1. We begin by removing the old heel using a heel puller, being careful not to damage the midsole or surrounding leather.
  2. Next, we clean the heel base thoroughly, removing any old glue or nails.
  3. We roughen both the shoe’s heel base and the Vibram Explosion Rubber Heel surface with sandpaper for better adhesion.
  4. We apply Renia glue to both surfaces. After waiting 15 minutes we push the heel firmly onto the shoe and clamp.
  5. Once bonded, we trim the excess rubber before sanding to a flush finish
  6. Finally we add nails for extra durability
