Vibram vs. rubber soles
 

I need to buy new boots for shedding and stand work. I had Vasque Clarions which succumbed to a fiery death on my last camping trip. When I bought them I was told to buy boots with a rubber sole instead of Vibram. I do not know why, but i did. They were extremely comfortable. I have a 50 dollar gift card to cabelas and they sell vasque but not the ones I have. The only pair has Vibram soles.
Anyhow just looking for some guidance to aid in my purchase.
thanks
