ABABA OUTSOLE:
Inspired by ancient human footprints, the Ababa Outsole is a 4mm ergonomic, hand-stitched sole with a heel wrap and a slight flare. It encourages natural rocking of the heel, promoting barefoot movement and flexibility. The sole features our signature footprint design, inspired by the Laetoli footprints – the oldest preserved human footprints from around 3.7 million years ago. The thin sole design of the Ababa Outsole helps reconnect you with the ground, providing flexibility for strong, healthy feet. Additionally, the tread depth of the sole provides ideal traction, grip, and a sense of connection with the ground.
NO INSOLE:
The shoe does not include an insole, allowing for a full barefoot experience and bringing you even closer to the ground.
WEIGHT:
The weight of the shoe is 219g, based on a single Men's size shoe with EU 42 | UK 8 | US 9.

The Vivo Ababa shoe fits true to size. For assistance with sizing, you can learn how to become a wiser sizer.
