Built for swimrun, trail running and amphibious adventures, the Vivobarefoot Hydra ESC Mens is a high-performance barefoot trainer designed to drain quickly, grip confidently and move naturally. With its Michelin ESC outsole, 4 mm multi-directional lugs and lightweight water-ready construction, it is made for wet trails, rocky terrain and outdoor movement without limits.
The Vivobarefoot Hydra ESC Mens is designed for men who move between land and water, from technical trails to swimrun adventures. Lightweight, flexible and built for quick drainage, it gives you the freedom of barefoot movement with the grip and performance needed for demanding outdoor conditions.
Created as part of Vivobarefoot’s Ecological Survival Collection, the Hydra ESC is made for amphibious performance. Its water-ready construction helps the shoe drain and dry quickly, while keeping it light and comfortable even when wet. The quick-lock lacing system allows easy adjustment on the move, making it practical for fast-changing terrain.
The Michelin ESC outsole is engineered for confident traction on wet, rocky, firm and slippery surfaces. With a 2 mm barefoot base and 4 mm multi-directional lugs, the Hydra ESC offers a strong balance between ground feel, flexibility and grip, helping you brake, climb and change direction with control.
Whether you are running along coastal paths, crossing streams, training for swimrun or exploring technical trails, the Hydra ESC is built to perform in nature’s wettest and wildest environments while keeping the natural barefoot feeling Vivobarefoot is known for.
Vivobarefoot shoes are designed with a naturally wide fit to allow the toes to spread. We recommend choosing your usual size. If you are between sizes or new to barefoot shoes, check the size guide before ordering.
