The Hydra ESC is Vivobarefoot's pinnacle swimrun and trail footwear. It’s a pioneering, barefoot take on amphibious performance footwear, created alongside elite athletes to glide, grip, drain and dry quickly.
The Hydra ESC is for wild runners, swimmers, and swimrunners seeking a deep connection with the aquatic biome. It’s part of our Ecological Survival Collection.
The materials drain and dry rapidly and stay light when wet. Hydrodynamic, quick-lock lacing allows easy on-the-move adjustments. A RISE foam insole, made with excess algae biomass choking up waterways, glides through water. And the Michelin© ESC sole grips even the slickest, most technical trails. Pinnacle swimrun footwear, pinnacle trail-running footwear.
SWIMRUN ESC MICHELIN© OUTSOLE
The Swimrun Esc Michelin© Sole is engineered with 4mm multi-directional lugs from sticky, durable rubber, giving you support and peace of mind over tough terrains. With unprecedented traction and grip across all surfaces (including slippery ones), the multi-directional lugs let you brake and change direction with control. Ideal for any type of swimrun adventure.
BLOOM® FOAM INSOLE
The Active Bloom® Foam Insole is made using the first sustainable alternative to synthetic and petrochemical EVA foam, derived from algae biomass. This algae can damage our oceans, so harnessing it in Vivobarefoot's footwear helps clean up the environment.
BREATHABLE MESH
Breathable, lightweight and comfortable.
PUNCTURE RESISTANT
The Pro5 Puncture Resistant finish is a lightweight and flexible 0.8mm layer on the sole. Protective underfoot to keep painful bits out, but still letting all the feeling in.
