Vivobarefoot is hitting new heights in the barefoot footwear realm with the launch of the world's first personalized barefoot sandals designed to fit individual foot shapes, just in time for the upcoming summer. Named the VIVOBIOME Tabi Gen 01, these sandals integrate advanced scanning and printing technology, allowing them to be custom-fitted to each user’s unique foot profile. They also utilize sustainably sourced materials, showcasing the brand's commitment to sustainability.
These sandals are designed to promote the benefits of barefoot walking. Vivobarefoot emphasizes that barefoot walking can more effectively foster the natural growth of the feet, enhance body balance and proprioception, reduce the risk of foot deformities, alleviate joint pressure, and ultimately improve overall foot health. The VIVOBIOME Tabi Gen 01 features a barefoot-inspired design with a split-toe element, aimed at providing users with a comfortable movement experience.
Currently, the VIVOBIOME Tabi Gen 01 sandals are available in a limited release of only 590 pairs, with plans to increase supply over the coming years. Consumers can visit Vivobarefoot experience stores in London and Bristol to have their feet scanned and opt for custom fitting services. This footwear is available in four color options: Obsidian Black, Mineral Grey, Forest Green, and Earth Brown, and has officially launched through Vivobarefoot's channels in the UK, retailing at £140.
