Some questions to Mr Bruno Bonfiglio (photo), Vibram official dealer for Marche region (Italy).

Tell us about the story of your work activity and its relationship with Vibram.

The Bonfiglio firm was born in 1984 and it got specialized in dealing technical shoe components in 2003. Our cooperation with Vibram started in 2009, first in the lifestyle market and then in the repair sector too.

Try to give us a very short description of your job.

We buy shoe materials to be sold to the shoemakers included in our client portfolio. We also offer our customers both a sample and a qualified assistance service.

Can you describe us any product categories or technologies you are specialized in?

We are specialized in the distribution of both items for high quality shoes (fashion, casual, comfort..) and Forestali technical products (glue, toe bumpers and buttresses).

How does the cooperation with Vibram help you offering your customers a better service?

The great amount of Vibram products (soles, hard and soft rubber sheets, half soles, heels) always available in our warehouse offers our customers a great choice of items for different types of high quality shoes (fashion, casual, comfort..) to be realized. Moreover, our rich showroom provides the shoemakers and footwear stylists with many Vibram items for their researches and works.

What makes the difference between Vibram and a common sole?

In my opinion the main difference is represented by the added value of the brand which has always kept its meaning of high quality, reliability and technological innovation.

Why do you recommend a Vibram sole to the shoemakers?

We recommend Vibram mainly for its lasting ability to match high quality standards with good prices, from the very beginning soles till the Gumlite and Morflex.
