NARROW
NOT NATURAL
Narrow toe boxes squeeze your toes together and force your feet into unnatural positions. This reduces balance and stability and increases the risk of foot problems.
START WITH STRONG FEET
YOUR FAVES ARE PROBLEMATIC
We hate to break it to you, but your sneakers have a dirty secret.
Feet are our foundation. Healthy feet promote better posture, coordination and strength throughout our kinetic chain. Yet narrow, rigid, cushioned shoes can restrict our natural potential.

NORMAL SHOES HAVE CHANGED US — AND NOT FOR THE BETTER.
STIFF
NOT STRONG
Stiff soles and arch support may seem protective, but they restrict natural movement. This inhibits mobility, weakens your feet, and makes knee, hip, and back pain more likely.
CUSHIONED
NOT CONNECTED
Padded soles may feel soft, but they dull sensory feedback from the 200,000+ nerve endings in each sole. This inhibits skilful, efficient, connected movement and increases the risk of injury.

NATURAL FIT SUPPORTS
BALANCE AND POSTURE
A wide, foot-shaped toe box lets your toes splay and play, supporting a stable foundation. This encourages proper posture and promotes better balance for every walk, hike, run, and workout.
NATURAL FEEL ENABLES
COORDINATION AND AGILITY
Your feet are central to your proprioceptive system, which provides 70% of your brain’s movement information. Thin soles transmit more sensory feedback, helping improve movement skill and avoid trips and slips.
NATURAL FLEX UNLOCKS
STRENGTH AND MOVEMENT
Flexible footwear lets your muscles and tendons load and recoil, promoting natural strength and mobility. Research shows wearing Vivos for six months increases foot strength by 57%.*
* Daily activity in minimalist footwear increases foot strength (Curtis, 2021).

BUSTING BAREFOOT MYTHS
Being barefoot changes how your body moves and feels. Transition slowly, listen to your body, and never push through pain. Some of the biggest barefoot concerns are misconceptions.
MYTH #1
“FOOTWEAR NEEDS ARCH SUPPORT.”
Vivos let your feet move freely to build strong natural foot function, which can help strengthen weak arches and alleviate plantar fasciitis. Your arches have evolved to support you, so let them!
MYTH #2
“BAREFOOT IS BAD FOR FLAT FEET.”
You don’t need high arches to wear barefoot. Vivos let your arch and other foot muscles move and develop freely, unlocking strength and natural movement.
MYTH #3
“THIN SOLES WILL HURT MY FEET.”
Vivo soles are designed to let you feel the ground while protecting you from hard or sharp surfaces. A gradual transition should reawaken your feet without pain.
MYTH #4
“BAREFOOT LIMITS PERFORMANCE.”
Barefoot promotes natural balance, coordination, and strength. From surfing to weightlifting, elite athletes are increasingly living, training, and breaking records.

TATI GABRIELLE

“Vivos make my feet and body feel a certain way – it’s just natural. Getting used to my feet has put everything into perspective. I’ve never felt this great on my feet ever in my life.”
