Introducing the VIVOBIOME Tabi Gen 01 Sandal—the world’s first fully bespoke, 3D-printed barefoot sandal, crafted exclusively for your feet. The first 590 limited-release pairs will be available for sign-ups and walk-ins at Vivobarefoot London, Bristol, and Prague concept stores. This groundbreaking sandal goes beyond ordinary footwear; it’s a return to human-centric design—powered by Viobiomes’ cutting-edge, low-waste, scan-to-print technology that promotes natural movement while minimizing environmental impact.
“This is simplicity—reimagined,” says Asher Clark, Co-founder and CDO at Vivobarefoot. “We’ve taken one of humanity’s oldest tools and brought it into the future—custom-fit, better for your body, and better for the planet.”
The Evolution of Footwear
For centuries, sandals have been a fundamental part of human movement, from ancient sandals found in Oregon caves to the thong-style flip-flops worn by the ancient Egyptians. However, modern flip-flops have evolved into mass-produced, one-size-fits-all products, often disregarding natural biomechanics. The VIVOBIOME Tabi Gen 01 reestablishes the connection between feet and the ground, offering a completely customized fit tailored to each wearer’s unique foot shape.
A Return to Human-Centric Design
Crafted exclusively for the individual, the VIVOBIOME Tabi Gen 01 Sandal is set to revolutionize the footwear industry. Utilizing Vivobarefoot’s patented scan-to-print technology, this pioneering sandal embraces low-waste, on-demand, local production, reducing environmental impact while promoting natural mobility and foot health.
“This is simplicity—reimagined,” says Asher Clark. “We’ve taken one of humanity’s oldest tools and brought it into the future—custom-fit, better for your body, and better for the planet.”
The Benefits of Barefoot Footwear
The VIVOBIOME Tabi Gen 01 is designed to replicate the natural barefoot experience as closely as possible. Walking barefoot has been proven to:
- Support natural foot development
- Enhance balance and proprioception
- Prevent deformities and foot-related issues
- Reduce joint stress
- Improve overall foot health
With barefoot health benefits, zero stock, and low-waste production, the VIVOBIOME sandal is a true game-changer, flipping the traditional flip-flop on its head.
