Vibram 1403 Resoling Approach (Megagrip + Traction Lug)

The Vibram 1403 Resoling Approach is built for approach shoes and mountain-ready footwear where grip, edging, and confidence on wet rock really matters. The hex-style lug pattern gives consistent contact and stability underfoot, while the dedicated front “climbing zone” helps with precise foot placements on slabs, steps, and scrambly ground. 

This sole uses Vibram Megagrip, a high-performance compound designed to deliver strong grip on both wet and dry terrain, while staying durable for long-term use. 

Key features

• Megagrip compound for dependable wet/dry traction 

• Traction Lug technology (lug shape designed to increase surface contact, stability, braking and propulsion) 

• Large climbing zone at the front for approach-style edging and control 

• Low-profile performance build (approx. forepart 6.1mm / heel 5.7mm) to keep the “approach shoe” feel 

Colour options

Available in multiple colours (availability can vary by size). 

If a colour option is available and you don’t choose one, we’ll select for you — and this is often the quickest option for turnaround.

Best for

Approach shoes and outdoor shoes needing a grippy, stable sole for mixed terrain—especially when conditions turn wet.
