Shaped by you and designed like nature, the Tabi sandal brings you even closer to the barefoot experience.

One size doesn't fit all

For millennia, sandals have shaped how humans move. But somewhere along the way, we lost our footing. The modern flip-flop became a one-shape-fits-all invention - cheap, mass-produced, and harmful to our biomechanics.

Now it’s time for footwear shaped to you - that lets your toes move freely and allows your feet to function as nature intended.

Big toe power: unlocked

The Tabi is more than just a sandal; it’s a return to human-centric design.

The big toe is crucial to natural locomotion, and the Tabi’s split toe allows it to move freely, unlocking unparalleled underfoot capability. It strengthens key muscles, improves stability and gait efficiency, and helps prevent or slow deformities like bunions.

Your feet have all the technology you need.

[ Let you feet to their thing ]

Custom Fit

A foot-shaped design enables your toes to splay, improving balance and providing a stable base of support.

Amplified Feel

A thin sole allows the thousands of nerve endings in each foot to send sensory feedback to the brain, helping you move with skill.

Enhanced Flex

Flexible footwear lets muscles and tendons load and recoil, strengthening your feet for a natural spring in every step.

Your footprint creates the blueprint

Your feet are unique-so your footwear should be too. Our scanning technology captures your foot’s exact shape, ensuring a precise fit designed for natural movement and maximum comfort.

The benefits
of barefoot living

[BENEFIT 1]

Stronger, healthier feet and increased mobility

Going barefoot strengthens the muscles in your feet, enhancing movement, agility, and resilience, not just in your feet, but throughout your body.

[BENEFIT 2]

Improves posture, balance, and stability

Feet are the foundation of your body, and a strong foundation improves posture, balance and control with every step.

[BENEFIT 3]

Prevents and improves bunions and plantar fasciitis

Barefoot shoes are foot-shaped, helping to prevent deformities like bunions and flat feet by letting feet do their thing and move unrestricted.

[BENEFIT 4]

Reduces risk of joint stress and related conditions

Wearing barefootwear reduces joint load, particularly on the knees and hips, which can help prevent conditions like osteoarthritis.

[BENEFIT 5]

Better sensory feedback and foot function

Barefootwear lets you feel the ground beneath you, improving proprioception, reaction time, coordination, and movement efficiency.

“Most shoes don’t let your feet be feet - they’re more like foot prisons. But thanks to Vivobarefoot, my feet got out of jail years ago. Now, with VivoBiome, it’s a whole new level - these aren’t just sandals, they’re a natural sensory extension of me.”

“The future of movement isn’t about doing more - it’s about feeling more. By restoring our connection to the earth, we unlock our true potential, starting from the ground up.”

The future of footwear - made for you

Narrow, rigid, cushioned shoes are damaging our health - restricting flexibility, compromising movement and weakening our feet, as well as causing problems further up the kinetic chain.

Barefootwear lets your feet move like feet - restoring natural movement and building strength and stability. The perfect footwear is regenerative to feet, human movement, and planetary health.

Your feet have all the technology you need. So let them do their thing.

BETTER FOR FEET

increase in foot strength in just 6 months.

Strong feet with enhanced sensory perception are key to skillful movement and injury prevention. Going barefoot or using minimalist footwear strengthens the intrinsic foot muscles.

BETTER FOR PLANET

excess stock from
manufacturing.

Traditional footwear production leads to mass overproduction, with millions of unsold shoes in landfill. VivoBiome’s made-to-order approach ensures we produce only what’s necessary.

FAQs

What is barefootwear exactly, and why is it better?

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.

What is VivoBiome?

VivoBiome is the future of personalised footwear - custom-fit to your unique feet using 3D scanning technology. Developed by Vivobarefoot, VivoBiome takes barefoot footwear to the next level by offering made-to-measure designs that enhance natural foot strength, feeling and recovery. On this website, you can view your foot scan, explore product options, and order bespoke footwear tailored to you.

Can I purchase Tabi sandals without a foot scan?

No, Tabi sandals are made-to-measure footwear, so a foot scan is mandatory. Click here to find out how you can get a foot scan.

How does VivoBiome manufacturing reduce waste during production?

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.

What makes VivoBiome different from other footwear brands?

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

Will VivoBiome release other footwear styles in the future?

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.

Will you offer more customisation options in the future?

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

What is “scan-to-print” technology?

Scan-to-print is at the core of VivoBiome footwear. It means we create bespoke shoes based on a precise 3D scan of your feet. Your unique foot shape becomes the blueprint - and we 3D print your sandals to your exact measurements for a personalised, barefoot feel.
