Split-Toe Barefoot Sandals

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Vivobarefoot Presents the VIVOBIOME Tabi Gen 01 Sandal

— May 10, 2025 — Fashion
London-based brand Vivobarefoot presents the new VIVOBIOME Tabi Gen 01 Sandal shoe, which is the first-ever barefoot sandal model that is tailored to the foot exactly. The silhouette is produced with a scan-to-print form of technology to ensure that it delivers a custom experience.

The VIVOBIOME Tabi Gen 01 Sandal is made according to the wearer's exact foot shape and printed on low-impact materials to highlight sustainability above all else. The brand explains that walking barefoot “supports natural foot development, enhances balance and proprioception, prevents deformities, reduces joint stress, and improves overall foot health.” The model comes in the colorway options of a sleek Obsidian Black, a minimal Mineral Grey, a Forest Green, or a neutral Earth Brown.
