Barefootwear is thin, flexible, foot-shaped footwear designed to let your feet move naturally – just like they would if you were barefoot.  Unlike conventional shoes that restrict foot movement and weaken feet with cushioning, narrow toe boxes and rigid soles, barefootwear builds strong, healthy feet - improving posture, balance, and movement and enhancing your holistic health.

VivoBiome is Vivobarefoot's innovation hub – pioneering a scan-to-print circular footwear system that combines personalisation, foot health insights, and local on-demand manufacturing.

Guided by four principles – made-to-order, made-to-measure, made locally, and made-to-be-remade – we're building towards the world's first personalised barefoot footwear health platform.

We're on a journey, and we're not fully there yet. We're starting with small-scale launches so we can learn, refine, and build this properly. With each release – and with your support – we'll move closer to that full vision.

No, Tabi sandals are made-to-measure footwear, so a foot scan is mandatory.

Scans are currently available in Vivobarefoot stores in London and Bristol, with locations opening soon in Austin (Texas), Dubai, Tokyo and Prague.

It's important to use the toe post correctly during scanning – positioned where you naturally like it when wearing flip-flops. Make sure to save your scan under your email address so you can access it later to order bespoke footwear.

Traditional footwear manufacturing follows subtractive principles, where shoes are cut from large sheets of material, leaving behind excess waste that is often discarded.
VivoBiome takes a different approach - we use additive manufacturing, meaning each pair is created on demand, layer by layer, using only the materials needed for your custom-fit sandals. This process eliminates excess waste and ensures a more sustainable, precision-made product.

VivoBiome creates made-to-measure footwear using advanced 3D scanning and on-demand production, ensuring a bespoke fit while reducing waste.

Tabi sandals are just the beginning! We’re continuously exploring new designs and innovations.
You can reserve your Tabi Gen 02, launching in 2026, for just £5 here. This gives you early access and helps shape the future of barefoot footwear.

We’re always innovating! Additional colours, materials, and personalisation features may be introduced in future releases.

You’ll be the first to hear about new releases and get the chance to purchase or get involved before anyone else. VivoBiome products are limited edition - we don’t do mass production, so early access means a better shot at securing your pair.

No, VivoBiome operates separately from Vivobarefoot’s main website, and discount codes are not transferable.
