Scan-to-Print Footwear: Personalised 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 personalisation, comfort, and natural movement that traditional footwear cannot achieve. Rather than forcing the foot into a standardised 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 personalised
