Vivobarefoot Hydra ESC Mens

Description

Trail and swimrun shoe with Michelin ESC outsole and quick-drying RPET mesh. Drains water quickly and stays light in water crossings. 2mm rubber sole with 4mm lugs and algae-based Bloom foam insole. Weighs 350g.

• Michelin ESC outsole: 2mm rubber sole with 4mm multidirectional lugs grips slippery stones and uneven terrain. Durable rubber compound with high abrasion resistance.
• Quick-drying mesh: Porous RPET upper drains water quickly and keeps sediment out. Bio-based KPU overlays reinforce without adding weight.
• Bloom foam insole: Algae-based foam as an alternative to synthetic EVA. Absorbs less water than traditional padding and can be removed.
• Elastic lacing system: RPET laces with polycarbonate lock adjust quickly for a tight or loose fit. Lace pocket keeps the ends in place.
• Vegan construction: Made without animal materials with a focus on recycled and bio-based components.
