{"product_id":"v-alpha","title":"V-Alpha","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe V-Alpha is the lineup's outdoor training model, and the most faithful to Vibram's original philosophy: protect the foot without ever taking away its ground perception.

Its distinguishing feature is that it keeps its grip coefficient when the surface is wet, where standard rubber turns glassy. On a wet rock slab or a root, the difference is immediately noticeable. Combined with a five-toe construction that lets the toes spread and grip, you get active stability: the foot corrects itself instead of just absorbing impact. That's what makes the V-Alpha viable for hiking where a classic minimalist model would lose its footing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThis model or another\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor trail running rather than hiking, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/trailope-homme\"\u003ethe Trailope\u003c\/a\u003e adds a debris guard and the 3D Cocoon system in a 5.7 mm sole.
