Vogue Business predicts that barefoot shoes are set to make waves in 2025, and we couldn’t agree more. Our belief in reconnecting people with their natural movement, starting with their feet, is shared in this recent article. 🎙️ “Millions of years of evolution have actually done a fantastic job. And so here we are as shoemakers, going back to that,” says Asher Clark. “For 30 years, the sexiest footwear brands in the world have sold big, chunky, cushioned underfoot technology, when actually your feet have all the technology you need, and all we need to do is get out of the way of it.” This isn’t just a trend – it’s a movement toward better living, and we’re proud to be at the forefront. ↘ Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eR-t5EM5 #Vivobarefoot #FeelMore #VogueBusiness #barefootshoes #healthandwellness #2025trends

About us
Founded in 2012 by two seventh-generation cobblers, Galahad and Asher Clark, Vivobarefoot is based on one simple insight - barefoot footwear is sustainable footwear. A Vivobarefoot product or experience is one that literally brings us closer to nature - regenerating our physical, social and spiritual health and the natural world. We believe: The closer people are to nature, the more they will protect it. The natural world is the only real model of sustainability. Barefoot shoes are the only shoes that are healthy for us and the planet.

Last night, our new Vivobarefoot London store came alive with connection and conversation around a shared passion for living naturally. We were thrilled to host long-standing Vivo ambassadors The Happy Pear to share their experiences of connecting with the earth, both through living barefoot and through growing nutritious, plant-based food. Visitors were able to get their feet scanned, discover and try on new Vivobarefoot styles, and leave with an organic veg box (straight from our nature home Barley Wood!) and a copy of The Happy Pear's new cookbook, 'The Happy Pear 20: Recipes & Learnings From The First 20 Years', which celebrates food that nourishes both people and planet. 🥗 The event reminded us how deeply intertwined our lives are with the natural world—from the ground beneath our feet to the food we grow and share. Living barefoot connects us to the earth and our natural wellbeing, just as growing and eating sustainably can. Check out our Instagram for more behind the scenes 📸 #Vivobarefoot #TheHappyPear

Wow - what an incredible few days! We are still processing the inspirational conversations from the inaugural year of Eudēmonia Summit, held in Florida this past weekend. Eudēmonia was a coming together of the leading minds and businesses in the health and wellness space. There were talks discussing cutting-edge scientific research, as well as an incredible timetable of experiences including breathwork, movement, and a chance for connection. We were joined by Vivo ambassador and music icon, Timbaland, alongside renowned strength and conditioning coach, Phil Daru, and wellness expert, Kayla Barnes-Lentz, for panel discussion on the benefits of barefoot living. This was followed by an energising barefoot movement session as well as 1-2-1 foot and posture analysis sessions with the Vivo team at our stand. Which individuals or brands do you think we should see there next year? #Vivobarefoot #EudemoniaSummit #health #wellness #longevity #barefoot #movement

This World Vegan Day, let's take a look at the design process behind our first ever vegan* hiking boot - the Tracker Textile AT. The Tracker Textile is our outdoor classic created with 100% recycled, animal-free materials. The 'AT' stands for ‘All Terrain’ and refers to the improved grip thanks to its enhanced lug design and strategic positioning in high-traction zones. Crafting a vegan hiking boot that performs as well as traditional leather boots posed unique challenges—from achieving durability and flexibility to ensuring the boot provides the grip and protection needed for rugged terrain. ↘️ Discover the Tracker Textile AT: https://bit.ly/3Y6CFj5 *whilst the materials used are not derived from animals, we don’t (yet) have the transparency we need over the production of all the small components (e.g. adhesives & dyes) so, whilst we believe the shoes are vegan, we want to be fully transparent. #Vivobarefoot #FeelMore #WorldVeganDay #veganboots #veganhiker #barefootshoes #productdesign #productinnovation #footweardesign Lee Kingston-Spiteri Valentin F.

How does a professional breakdancer go on to lead groundbreaking projects at Vivobarefoot's innovation hub, BIOME? For our Computational Systems Lead, Peter Davis, his unconventional background helped shape his perspective of footwear and ultimately led him to pioneer the VivoBiome line—our custom-fit, scan-to-print barefoot footwear created using computational design, augmented reality and 3D printing. "We’re pushing the boundaries of what footwear can be by leveraging parametric modeling and questioning traditional design norms...We aim to eradicate the use of Last [the traditional form for shoe moulding] altogether, which is unheard of. The computational system we have built allows us to do this." - Peter Davis 👉 Read the interview: https://lnkd.in/dUe68TuY 👉 Check out VivoBiome: https://lnkd.in/eu38qYZe #Vivobarefoot #VivoBiome ShapeDiver Volumental Balena #3DPrinting #CustomFit #Footwear #3Dprinting #barefootwear

Introducing the next chapter in the Ecological Survival Collection (ESC) - TUNDRA. ❄️ Designed to thrive in Earth’s coldest corners, the Tundra ESC redefines cold-weather performance as we know it. Taking its lead from Indigenous footwear that thrives in frozen lands, the Tundra shatters cold kit myths, emphasising breathability and freedom of movement over sweaty waterproofing, restrictive insulation, and over-engineering. Designed and tested alongside expedition leaders in Canada, the Tundra ESC is our pinnacle performance boot for deep cold adventures. ↘ WATCH THE FULL EXPEDITION FILM: https://lnkd.in/ereWjjW6 #Vivobarefoot #FeelMore #EcologicalSurvivalCollection #TundraESC #productdevelopment #expedition #productinnovation #indigenouswisdom

Another year, another successful swimrun for team Vivo! 🌊 We recently took part in the epic ÖTILLÖ Swimrun in beautiful Cannes, France. With over 800 participants, the race offered the perfect mix of urban streets, challenging trails, and crystal-clear waters. For those new to Swimrun, it is the ultimate endurance adventure for those looking to reconnect with nature through (you guessed it) swimming and running. 🎙️ "This is my 5th ÖTILLÖ Swimrun and I have raced in Cannes since 2022! It's one of the highlights working at Vivo - I get to race in beautiful places with my team and get the opportunity to get immersed in nature, whether it's hiking a mountain or swimming in between islands. I'm so excited for what's to come!" - Ana Patricia Medina Castillo, Commercial Manager at Vivobarefoot. ↘ Learn more about Swimrun: https://lnkd.in/dDThKYDW #Vivobarefoot #SwimrunWorldSeries #swimrun #HydraESC #bluehealth
