Vivobarefoot unveiled VivoBiome Tabi Gen 02, the next evolution of its groundbreaking scan-to-print footwear—and a bold reinvention of the humble flip-flop that fits your feet. Lighter, more flexible and more comfortable, Tabi Gen 02 builds on the original with improved fit and feel, delivering a more refined and totally personalized barefoot experience. This is not just another sandal; it is fully bespoke footwear, shaped entirely by the unique biology of your feet.
Scan-To-Print Footwear: Personalized for Enhanced Natural Movement
Developed as part of Vivobarefoot’s flagship innovation platform, VivoBiome, Tabi Gen 02 represents a radical shift in how footwear is designed, made and experienced. Each pair is created from an individual foot scan and produced on demand using advanced 3D-printing technology. The result is a level of personalization, comfort and natural movement that traditional footwear cannot achieve. Rather than forcing the foot into a standardized shape, Tabi Gen 02 is shaped by you—supporting natural mobility and reconnecting you, from the ground up.
A New Standard for Barefoot Footwear
Every Tabi sandal is precisely formed from your scan, matching the exact anatomical shape of your feet. The signature split-toe design allows the big toe to move independently—a critical driver of balance, propulsion and natural movement. The result is a second-skin experience that enhances strength, stability and sensory feedback. The most barefoot sandal in the world that is personalized
Powered by Carbon: Next-Generation Materials and Manufacturing
VivoBiome is powered by a strategic partnership with Carbon, a leader in advanced digital manufacturing. Using Carbon’s breakthrough 3D-printing technology and newly developed lightweight foamed material, Tabi Gen 02 achieves a step-change in performance—delivering enhanced feel, flexibility and responsiveness while significantly reducing material usage. This advanced additive process, along with VivoBiomes’ scan-to-print technology, enables low-waste, on-demand production, making it possible to manufacture each pair only when needed and precisely to the individual. The result is a fundamentally new model of footwear production with a high-performance, lightweight, durable material.
“We’re not making footwear people desire. We’re making footwear that fits feet—and people recognize it as the closest experience to barefoot freedom. A personalized one,” said Asher Clark, co-founder of Vivobarefoot.
