About Revivo

Every year, over 20 billion pairs of shoes are produced, and more than 90% of them are likely to end up in landfill. At Vivobarefoot, we’re committed to breaking this cycle of waste. That’s why we created ReVivo—a platform dedicated to extending the life of Vivobarefoot shoes, ensuring they stay on your feet and out of landfill for as long as possible.

ReVivo is more than just a service; it’s a community of barefoot enthusiasts who care about sustainability. Through ReVivo, you can purchase refurbished shoes, return your used pairs, and even have your well-loved Vivos mended, ready for new adventures. Our goal is simple: produce less, waste less, mend more, and ultimately eliminate the need to throw anything away.

To achieve this, we’ve partnered with specialised footwear restoration experts in the UK and Germany. These highly skilled teams use the latest machinery and non-toxic products to recondition and revive worn Vivos, giving them a new lease of life. We are actively working to expand this service to more regions in the near future.

The ReVivo website also offers a selection of reconditioned styles for resale. Each pair returned to us is thoroughly inspected, graded, and cleaned to meet our rigorous standards. Customers can choose between products in Excellent, Great, or Good condition, depending on their preferences. Styles marked as Excellent are typically customer returns with minimal wear or leftover stock from previous seasons.

For footwear that’s beyond repair, we don’t just discard it. Instead, we store these items and experiment with innovative end-of-life solutions. In December 2023, we launched a recycling trial with Fast Feet Grinded, exploring new ways to responsibly recycle and repurpose worn-out shoes.

ReVivo is our commitment to a regenerative future—one where we produce less, waste less, and contribute to a healthier planet. Our website offers detailed information on how you can repair your footwear in the UK and Germany, as well as showcasing our current stock of reconditioned and returned footwear available for purchase. Because availability depends on customer returns and seasonal stock, our selection is constantly changing.

Join us in the ReVivoLution, and together, let’s create a more sustainable future for feet, people, and the planet.
