Go Natural with Vivo Barefoot

One of the popular brands brought about by the eco-friendly Terra Plana shoe shop is Vivo Barefoot.  Vivo Barefoot is designed with the principle that the healthiest way for the feet to be is to go barefoot, hence its name.  Vivo Barefoot is a revolutionary design that makes use of an extremely thin but puncture-resistant sole which allows the feet to feel barefoot.

Vivo Barefoot Design

The shoes’ prototype was designed by Tim Brennan in 2001.  He learned that the healthiest way the feet should be is by walking barefoot since this allows for the natural reflex to go up on the feet’s balls.  He later teamed with Galahad Clark in 2001 and together made the radically designed footwear under Terra Plana umbrella.  It was launched to the public in 2003.  The year after, designing was already done by Prada and Premiata’s Ajoy Sahu and a range of shoes catering to the female market was introduced.

Men and Womens Vivo Barefoot

Vivo Barefoot men’s and women’s shoes are based on the barefoot concept and therefore emulate the foot the best possible way.  They are ethically made with materials that are highly sustainable such as vegetable tanned leather and recycled mesh among others.  One of the greatest attraction of the Vivo Barefoot shoes is its feature that makes the user’s body go back to its natural state when it allows 200 thousand nerves in his feet feel where he is walking.  This results to the individual’s better posture and balance.  It also improves his agility which is quite advantageous particularly to athletes.  Interestingly, in cultures where shoes are not worn most of the time, spine and foot disorders do not exist.

The product of Vivo Barefoot

The production of Vivo Barefoot is done with the collaboration of engineers and scientists to make sure that what they develop is a shoe that will be able to take advantage of the natural shape of the body.  New users of these shoes may initially feel some awkwardness which will disappear in no time.  Once the individual gets used to it, he will even be wondering why he allowed his feet to be stuffed in the standard shoes for a long time.

The Vivo Barefoot running shoe

One of the shoe type Vivo Barefoot has become famous for, particularly for the runners, are those that are made of Kevlar soles.  This type of shoes is very light and extremely comfortable.  The soles are so thin but quite durable.  Its lack of heels and arch support allows the user to run or walk normally maintaining the natural posture.  Additionally, it has a wide toe box that will contain the feet with no crunching.  Moreover, it has a zippered sole that can be replaced when the sole is already worn.  It even has an insulated sole insert that will keep the feet warm especially during winter.  It has many designs and styles that one can choose from.  The company in fact offers 12 designs for men that come in a variety of colors.  Some may find the designs boring but the benefit great.  Vivo Barefoot is indeed a fantastic way of regaining the muscle strength most people did not manage to develop sue to the effects of the heel strikes cause by regular shoes.
