VivoBiome

Personalised scan-to-print footwear made to enhance your natural well-being

This is more than a product - it's a movement. A radical shift away from mass-produced footwear towards circular, custom design.

VivoBiome is the first bespoke, 3D-printed footwear shaped by your feet – helping to unlock the strongest, most mobile version of you. Every step accelerates recovery, improves alignment, and supports full-body wellness – from the ground up.

FEATURED ON

Scan-to-print footwear made to enhance your natural well-being Feet are the foundation of the kinetic chain, a sophisticated system of interconnecting joints and muscles that orchestrates seamless movement. What happens at the bottom has a profound impact further up the chain, which is why strong feet are critical to optimal health.

PRECISE PERSONALISED FIT

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

AMPLIFIED SENSORY FEEDBACK

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 NATURAL MOVEMENT

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.

“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 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

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

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.

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.
