The world’s leading manufacturer of high-performance rubber soles has created a team of shoemakers experienced in repairing technical running shoes, including the NNormal: an opportunity to extend the life of shoes and an initiative to support small independent businesses across Europe.

Thanks to this partnership, NNormal shoes can now be resoled and repaired by Vibram brand partners. The company uses shoemakers around the world to repair different shoe models and selects Vibram shoemakers in France, Italy and Spain who are specially trained to resole NNormal shoes and repair some of their components as soon as they start to wear out. The NNormal shoes will be resole with Zegalite, which uses Vibram’s high-performance rubber to ensure maximum grip on dry and wet ground. The Zegalite sole is also very durable and will allow the NNormal shoes to cover many more kilometres. Shoemakers will also be able to replace laces and repair uppers, yarns and the heel area, enabling thousands of people around the world to extend the life of their shoes.
