Vibram XS City Wet-Grip Resole

Improve worn everyday footwear with a professional resole using Vibram XS City rubber.

XS City is designed to provide dependable grip on typical wet urban surfaces, including smooth marble and metal flooring. It also offers comfortable cushioning and a practical balance between grip and durability for everyday walking. 

Every pair is assessed before work begins to confirm that this style of resole is compatible with the footwear. Where possible, we aim to maintain the intended shape, profile, flexibility and overall feel of the original shoes.
