Tim the Founder of Vivo Barefoot, with the help of his 'Alexander Technique’ teacher learnt that walking barefoot is the best and healthiest way for your feet to be – using natural reflexes to go up on the balls of the feet. At the end of each lesson he would put his shoes back on and walk home. It started to become obvious how restrictive his shoes were. As a result of this Terra Plana and Vivo Barefoot technology was created.
