The Vivobarefoot Hydra ESC Mens Shoes are for athletes engaging in swimrun events and technical trail adventures, offering seamless transitions between aquatic and terrestrial environments. Weighing 350g (42 EU), they provide lightweight protection without restricting your movement for trail running. Featuring a Quick Lacing System, they ensure easy adjustments on the go, allowing you to achieve a personalised fit. The closed-cell Bloom foam insole is crafted from 10% Algae Bloom - removing it from aquatic ecosystems where it can be harmful, and giving it a new life as your go-to amphibious barefoot shoes. The result is a more eco-friendly EVA foam that supports a cleaner, healthier environment by putting algae biomass to good use. The Michelin ESC outsole provides confidence-inspiring grip on slick and technical terrains, helping keep you stable and sure-footed during challenging activities. The durable, non-marking rubber compound provides a tacky feel while offering a protective, flexible barrier against abrasions.
