Vivobarefoot is a footwear company that specializes in minimalist shoes designed to replicate the experience of being barefoot. The company's product philosophy is centered on the belief that this type of footwear can improve natural foot mechanics and overall posture, contributing to better health and well-being.
Vivobarefoot operates within the global footwear market, targeting a niche segment of consumers who are health-conscious and environmentally aware. The company's business model is built on the principles of sustainability and regeneration. As a certified B-Corporation, Vivobarefoot is committed to having a net-positive impact on both people and the planet. This commitment is reflected in its use of sustainable materials and its "ReVivo" program, a platform for repairing and recycling used shoes to extend their lifecycle and reduce waste.
Revenue is primarily generated through direct-to-consumer sales via its e-commerce platform. The company is also exploring a bespoke scan-to-print footwear service, which could open up new revenue streams and further differentiate its product offering. Internally, Vivobarefoot has adopted a "circle-based" organizational model, which is a decentralized and semi-autonomous team structure inspired by sociocracy.
