Thrive in harmony with nature
Optimised for high heat and humidity, tough terrain and water crossings
The Jungle ESC is an expedition-grade barefoot boot built for jungle exploration. It dries and drains rapidly for moisture management, and features corrosion-resistant brass hardware. A gusseted tongue helps block hazardous flora and fauna, complemented by a high-vis fluro lining for easy detection. The Michelin sole is our wildest yet, with an oversized heel lug for emergency braking on slippery surfaces. The protective, bio-inspired overlay offers high durability, without compromising breathability or mobility. Laces supplied are long, allowing you to tuck them in, or wrap them around the cuff for extra protection from leeches. And everything is crafted with synthetic, vegan* materials, selected for their resistance to decomposition in hot, humid environments.
Off-trail extreme: Extremely good grip and 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.
