A Revolutionary Movement

September 25th 2012 by Galahad Clark

There’s a change coming: a paradigm shift in conventional thinking.  It’s a growing movement of fresh ideas and shared values based on natural evolution, mutation and adaptation.  It’s a better way of doing things- a better way of moving, a better way of living.

At VIVOBAREFOOT we draw from the past, the current and the future.  Barefoot movement is our shared heritage; it’s a blueprint for health prototyped over tens of thousands of years.  We respect the natural so use intelligent, sustainable design to produce a complete range of shoes that allow you to bring the sensation of the natural into everyday, modern life.  It’s ancient wisdom combined with modern technology.

We hold to our beliefs that barefoot is the gold standard. As we launch our new range, we want to bring you closer to nature to fuel adventures, play, sharing and learning. And as the industry moves to dilute and produce more “commercial” interpretations that dumb down our senses, we call on you to champion the true movement: pure barefoot 24/7.

Galahad Clark, Managing Director

Does Gait analysis work?

August 28th 2012 by Ben Le Vesconte

It is over 2 years since a research paper titled “The effect of three different levels of footwear stability on pain outcomes” was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine by Ryan et al and summarised on Runblogger.

The findings of this study suggest that our current approach of prescribing in-shoe pronation control systems on the basis of foot type is overly simplistic and potentially injurious”. Yes correct there was a study 2 years ago which concluded Gait analysis does not work and is potentially causing injuries. Read more…
