Vivobarefoot just dropped the future of summer footwear with the Tabi Gen 01 Sandal, and it’s unlike anything you’ve ever slid your foot into. This isn’t just a sandal—it’s a fully customized, 3D-printed experience built from a scan of your actual feet. That means a perfect fit, zero break-in, and barefoot freedom tailored just for you.

Limited to just 590 pairs, the Tabi Gen 01 kicks off Vivobarefoot’s groundbreaking Vivobiome platform, available exclusively in the UK through in-person foot scans at their London and Bristol stores. The minimalist sandal takes cues from 15th-century Japanese design—complete with a modernized split-toe (tabi) silhouette—but upgrades the ancient concept with cutting-edge eco-tech. Each pair is crafted from low-impact, weather-resistant thermoplastics designed to biodegrade at the end of their life. You can wear these into the wild and sleep well knowing they’ll leave no trace.

The sandals are built for more than city strolls. With a rugged outsole and performance-grade grip, they can handle unexpected adventures while encouraging a more natural gait, improved balance, and long-term foot health. They’re as minimal as they look—but far from basic.

Whether you’re chasing sunsets or just tired of flimsy flip-flops, Vivobarefoot’s Tabi Gen 01 delivers futuristic function, ancient inspiration, and serious style. Available in four earthy tones, it is made for those who want to walk their own path—literally. The brand is expected to expand in 2026.
