Swim and run wild
Built for amphibious adventure
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.
Off-trail extreme: Extreme traction for extreme terrains, still with plenty of barefoot feeling to connect to nature.
Multi-terrain: Giving you grip and ground feel on everything from wet and dry, rocky and firm terrain.
Fit, Feel, Flex: For natural stability, natural sensory feedback and natural strength.
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.

| Sole | Thin and flexible for ground feel | Thick and cushioned |
| Heel Drop | Zero drop for natural posture | Raised heel alters posture |

| Purpose | Designed to reconnect you with natural movement | Designed mainly for cushioning and control |
