Driving Vibram’s Sole Factor program is a customized, 38-foot mobile cobbler unit outfitted with a cobbler repair shop and outsole showroom. 
The RV is operated by Vibram’s master cobbler, Gino Conti, with cobbler assistants who examine shoes onsite, then upgrade with Vibram soles while customers wait


Give fashionista new  life to an older pair of beloved heels-worthy of  flaunting-sitting cross legged, feet wagging,,,almost as chic as Christian Louboutin's red soles but without the trademark battle.
