In this episode of The Future of Consumer Marketing, host Roman Kirsch interviews Galahad Clark, founder and CEO of Vivobarefoot. Clark is leading a rebellion against "Big Shoe" - the $24 billion global footwear industry dominated by Nike and Adidas. Coming from a 200-year-old Quaker shoemaking family, Clark pivoted from traditional footwear to create barefoot shoes that prioritize foot health over fashion trends. Despite facing near-bankruptcy in the early years, Vivobarefoot has grown into a $120 million business by targeting "conscious mavericks" and building a community-driven brand that challenges conventional wisdom about what shoes should be.
