▾ PRODUCT DESCRIPTION ▾
The Esc Tempest is our first style to launch as part of our Extreme Survival Collection, and is the best Swim Run shoe on the planet, for the amphibious athlete. Inspired by nature's aquatic animals and blended with modern technology, we created a lightweight organic cage to provide flexibility, drainage and protection. The sole was developed in collaboration with Michelin to provide super grip to the ground.
INSPIRED BY NATURE'S AQUATIC ANIMALS. DESIGNED FOR THE AMPHIBIOUS ATHLETE
Our Esc Tempest is jam-packed with advanced features to improve your performance across any terrain.
- The super sticky rubber outsole was developed in collaboration with Michelin to keep your footing stable, and a speed toggle facilitates easy closure.
- The shoe's quick-draining mesh and recycled PET ankle sock construction are designed to keep your feet comfortable between land and sea.
- Finally, our bio-based Bloom EVA midsole gives additional flotation, so our Esc Tempest won’t drag you down.
WHY VIVOBAREFOOT IS DIFFERENT
Vivobarefoot shoes are designed to let your feet move naturally. With a wide toe box, thin flexible sole, and zero-drop platform, they allow your feet to function the way they were designed to. Traditional shoes often add cushioning and structure that can reduce natural movement and sensory feedback.
| Feature | Vivobarefoot | Traditional Shoes |
|---|---|---|
| Toe Box | Wide and foot-shaped for natural toe splay | Narrow and tapered |
| Sole | Thin and flexible for ground feel | Thick and cushioned |
| Heel Drop | Zero drop for natural posture | Raised heel alters posture |
| Movement | Encourages natural foot strength and mobility | Supports and restricts natural movement |
| Purpose | Designed to reconnect you with natural movement | Designed mainly for cushioning and control |
