Repair if you care
A new life for your Tecnica shoes
Repair if you care
There's nothing worse than the moment you have to say goodbye your Tecnica shoes. Like an old friend, they’ve been your trusted companions through many cherished mountain adventures, becoming one with your feet. That’s why at Tecnica, we’ve joined forces with Vibram and the Repair If You Care program. Now you can have your shoes resoled by specialist repairers using techniques developed specifically for Tecnica models. Your worn soles will be replaced with new ones from the Vibram catalogue, carefully verified by our testers to ensure they’re the most suitable for your specific model. And so you can breathe new life into your Tecnica shoes.
How it works
1
Use your Tecnica shoes
Our shoes are built to last. We select only premium-grade materials and the best construction technologies. But nothing lasts forever. In the mountains in particular, it’s the sole that wears out first—especially if crafted using a very high-grip compound. But fear not. Now you can give your shoes a new lease of life by replacing the sole and, in some cases, even the midsole.

Get Your Vibram Sole Replaced
Vibram professional shoe repairers have undergone specialized training to learn how to replace the sole of your Tecnica shoes. They know exactly which new sole is ideal for your model and the correct procedure to follow. We always recommend checking in advance to ensure they can give a second life to your shoes. If you need to ship them, it\'s best to send clear photos and arrange the details of the repair beforehand.

A new sole, a new life
When you get your shoes back, simply put them on and head back out to the mountains. It couldn't be easier, because we've already done the hard work with our partners at Vibram. We’ve tested dozens of shoes, resoling them using different methods and various Vibram soles to find exactly the right combination to return them as close as possible to their original performance.
