We make shoes.
Better for you. Better for the environment.
In 2004, Terra Plana became pioneers of the barefoot movement by launching VIVOBAREFOOT, the first minimalist shoe with a patented, ultra thin puncture resistant sole that offers maximum sensory feedback and maximum protection. 70% of your brainÍs information for movement comes from the nerves on the soles of your feet. The more you can feel the ground, the greater your bodyÍs understanding of its surroundings and natural movement.
In 2010, the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Harvard University, both released studies to support that barefoot reduces injuries, reserves energy, and improves technique.
As scientific support for barefoot health grows, so does demand for VIVOBAREFOOT and the collection features the most comprehensive line of minimalist shoes on the market. The VIVOBAREFOOT difference is in the sole. We make a series of constructions specifically designed for varying elements, terrains, and activities. From high performance off-road and trail running shoes, to work and kids shoes, VIVOBAREFOOT offers a total lifestyle solution for the whole family and options for transitioning from walking to sports.
VIVOBAREFOOT footwear is produced sustainably using recycled, locally sourced materials, with efficient and eco-friendly production techniques, in independently monitored ethical factories.

The Barefoot Running Coach app from VIVOBAREFOOT, specifically for iPad, is designed to help runners of all levels perfect their running form to rediscover the joy of movement and to prevent injury.
This app closely follows the coaching methodology of Lee Saxby, allowing you to compare yourself to common running forms. Following Saxby’s mantra: Posture, Rhythm and Relaxation, along with foot strike, you will be able to self-diagnose your form and learn tips and drills to help you transition to skillful barefoot running.
Every year up to 80% of runners are injured, and according to Harvard research you’re twice as likely if you have a heel strike as opposed to a forefoot strike. These alarming facts have helped push forward a revolution in barefoot movement. VIVOBAREFOOT has partnered with leading biomechanics expert and “World’s Best Barefoot Running Coach”* Lee Saxby to help runners transition to skillful, injury-free barefoot running form. After all, technique is everything.
Why Barefoot:
As humans, we are born to run, but not with thick padded trainers. Proprioception (sensory feedback, mainly from the nerves in the feet) is the foundation of skillful movement. When wearing cushioned shoes, we reduce proprioception, hindering our ability to move naturally. We would never expect a musician to wear thick, padded gloves when playing an instrument; so why would we expect anyone to wear thick, padded shoes when running? Running barefoot, or wearing a shoe that mimics barefoot movement, will allow you to learn a skillful, injury-free and enjoyable running technique.
