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.
