Summary

Today on the podcast is the one and only, Galahad Clark!

Galahad Clark is a seventh-generation cobbler. His ancestors founded Clark's shoes, and he is now the driving force behind Vivobarefoot, which makes shoes that allow the wearer to enjoy the same range of movement and sensation as if they were barefoot. In 2022, Vivo's 10th year of business, they sold 773k pairs of shoes.

In today's conversation, Galahad takes me through the history of shoes, the origins of Vivobarefoot, the science of your feet and how to strengthen them, and much more! You'll walk away from this conversation with a greater understanding of how your feet work, inside the shoe industry, how shoes came to be, and the future of footwear.
