The ergonomically designed Vivobarefoot Addis Everyday Shoes are super light and super comfortable, created using renewable materials in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A portion of the profits is put back into education and employment initiatives in the local area. The shape is wide for natural stability, and the sole thin, at just 4mm, with a heel rocker to create the most natural movement possible.
These shoes pair a natural leather upper, sourced from free-roaming cattle on small scale farms, with an Ababa sole, one inspired by the first recorded human footprints, found in Tanzania and dating back 3.7 million years. Perfect for urban environments and hard surfaces, the Addis deliver an incredible ground feel with no cushioning, so the foot's natural strength is utilised.
