The NFW Pliant™ Gobi outsole completes the build with a fully natural outsole developed in partnership with NFW, supporting a flexible and grounded feel underfoot.

The shoe includes the Gobi Premium cork insole, which uses 98% natural cork and offers natural antibacterial properties. This insole supports everyday wear while keeping the interior feeling fresh and comfortable.

The result is a sneaker that focuses on natural materials, innovative construction, and a barefoot fit and feel.

Vivobarefoot shoes combine ancient wisdom with modern science and technology to enhance natural movement. Unlike regular shoes with thick soles, narrow toe boxes, and shoe hills, Vivobarefoot shoes allow your feet to feel every sensation, providing maximum mobility and freedom. The brand claims their design can improve foot strength by 60% in just six months. With increased flexibility, your muscles, ligaments, and tendons become more mobile, while enhanced sensory feedback helps you move with greater ease and balance. Crafted for better performance, Vivobarefoot shoes allows your feet to move as nature intended.

Founded in 2012 by Galahad and Asher Clark, seventh-generation cobblers, Vivobarefoot redefines footwear with minimalist designs that reconnect you to the ground beneath your feet. Built for men, women, and kids, their barefoot shoes feature ultra-thin, puncture-resistant soles that let your feet move naturally—just as they’re meant to. As a B Corporation™ Certified brand, Vivobarefoot goes beyond footwear, driving genuine social and environmental impact, creating products that support your wellbeing and help protect the planet.
