Vivobarefoot footwear

Vivobarefoot is a pioneering minimalist footwear brand that advocates for natural movement through foot-shaped design and ultra-thin, puncture-resistant soles. Founded by Galahad and Asher Clark—descendants of the legendary Clark shoemaking dynasty—the brand operates as an independent entity dedicated to regenerative business practices and environmental sustainability.

The company manufactures its products across several strategic locations including Vietnam, Portugal, and Ethiopia, often partnering with local social enterprises like Soul of Africa. As a certified B Corporation, Vivobarefoot prioritizes ethical labor and sustainable materials, such as wild hide leather and recycled plastics. Ownership remains primarily within the Clark family, ensuring the brand maintains its focus on human health and environmental restoration over traditional corporate growth models.
