The Vivobarefoot Jungle Esc Mens Shoes are engineered to meet the demands of the most challenging environments, offering a research-based, feature-rich design tailored for jungle exploration. Made in collaboration with world-class expedition leaders, tested in the Borneo jungle and weighing 540g each (42 EU), these barefoot boots ensure optimal performance in rugged terrains, even as the heat and humidity climbs. The breathable, lightweight mesh construction facilitates fast-draining and quick-drying, effectively managing moisture and preventing water absorption. Crafted with water-resistant materials, the hiking boots remain light and comfortable during water crossings. The gusseted tongue helps keep natural debris out. The hi-vis fluro lining enhances safety by allowing you to spot potentially harmful flora and fauna before entering the shoe. The hard-wearing, non-marking Michelin sole outsole provides grip and durability for wild environments, and is the most adventure-ready sole from Vivobarefoot yet. An exaggerated heel lug allows you to brake quickly, helping prevent slips on challenging grounds without compromising on the barefoot experience with intuitive flexibility and enhanced proprioception.
