Given that these new boots were to be worn in snow and ice conditions, a lug sole was the option for added traction. Installation: I traced the outline of the boot sole to the Vibram lug sole leaving only about 1/16 surplus. The soles were trimmed with an X-acto #11 blade before gluing. Trimming was done from the solid surface down thru to the the lug sections and patience with cutting small depths at a time resulted in a very good initial trim fit. The trimming took about 10/15 minutes per sole. Solvent based contact cement was applied to both surfaces and allowed to dry. Wax paper was used between the dry glue surfaces to allow for proper alignment leaving an equal amount material for final trim. To get a good bond with the contact cement I put the boots on and "stepped" them to the best possible contact area. Small spring type clamps (not baggie clips) were applied to the perimeter of the sole to insure good edge bonding. You do not want edge gaps so use the spring type clamps. Final trim was accomplished on a bench sander after 24 hours of dry time insuring a complete bond. I suspect the #11 X-acto blade could have also completed the final trim too, but the bench sander took far less time. The resoled boots have been worn every day for many weeks in snow, ice, dry and wet conditions with zero sign of the soles delaminating. As stated, the soles are as advertised, installed easily with the correct cement, edge clamps and trim tools. I will now resole a pair of dress boots whose soles have gone to a better place using the Vibram dress shoe sole. Update: 6.10.15 Wore these boots thru midwest winter and worst the wet spring had to offer; the soles remain perfectly bonded. The dress boots were resoled with the dress Vibram sole and dittos for installation and bonding. Review: Great half sole - I installed this along with a matching heel lift on my Wolverine 1000 mile boots. They turned out great and my boots are no longer a hazard in bad weather. These added a lot of grip over the original leather soles. ## Features - Half Sole Replacement - Shoe Repair - Rubber Sole - 10 iron ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00A0BGED6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,071,501 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #315 in Men's Sports Compression Socks | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (99) | | Date First Available | November 2, 2012 | | Department | mens | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.01 ounces | | Item model number | 1253m | | Package Dimensions | 7.6 x 5.8 x 0.4 inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Vibram - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Leather, Rubber - **Product Benefits:** Pain Relief - **Use for:** Foot ## Images ![Vibram # 1253 Lug Half Sole 47/48 Men's Pair - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41b3E9UVy7L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How thick are these?** A: Exactly .20 (two tenths) of an inch to the top of the treads. If you have a belt sander to grind the edges exactly to the profile of the old soles, you can't even see the repair. It's a long wearing material too.Cheers! **Q: What size is it?** A: It is very large. I made a template and cut it to size. **Q: Will these work for a size 7 wolverine 1000 mile boot?** A: Yes1. glue in place2. dry3. trim excessI used these to repair size 10 boots **Q: Do these help as non slip soles? I work as a bartender and the floors are always wet.** A: Most vibram soles like like these lug soles have an anti slip and oil resistant quality (there’s a difference), so I try to stick with vibram lugs. You can read about that on their web site. I use these on all of my riding boots with leather soles (motorcycle) to avoid slipping on slippery streets. They make a big difference in confidence when I put my feet down on a wet or oily road. I haven’t slipped yet and I can feel the difference between these vibram soles and my other boots w regular rubber or crepe. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As advertised and EZ to install. *by P***1 on February 22, 2015* The 1/2 Vibram #1235 lug soles were purchased and installed to a new pair of 10 1/2 cowboy boots that came with a traditional walking heel and sole minimally grooved and suitable for dry/ wet conditions only.

They turned out great and my boots are no longer a hazard in bad weather. These added a lot of grip over the original leather soles. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Thinner than expected *by A***A on March 20, 2018* I was expecting it to be a little thicker, and was a little disappointed by the size. However, it's still not a bad product, just thinner that I thought. Still recommend it, though. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vibram # 1253 Lug Half Sole 47/48 Men's Pair - Vibram # 3359 Lug Heel Lift 12 Iron (Size 40) - Barge 50-2128 All Purpose Cement, 2 oz, Neutral --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/1220149-vibram-1253-lug-half-sole-47-48-mens-pair](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/1220149-vibram-1253-lug-half-sole-47-48-mens-pair) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
