Vivobarefoot boots have long been a firm favourite amongst the Woodland Ways Team. The majority of the team wear the Tracker Forest Esc boots for the majority of their time outdoors, whether that’s in the woods on courses in the UK, overseas on expedition, or doing the day to day jobs. Vivobarefoot make a wide range of barefoot boots, but we’ve selected a few models that we think will be a great addition to our store. Ideal for outdoor pursuits from walking the dog to epic international expeditions, Vivobarefoot boots are the footwear of choice.
As the planet's most biodiverse land biome, the jungle presents unique challenges for human exploration. With high heat and humidity, relentless moisture, and thick undergrowth, it demands nothing short of world-class outdoor gear. Enter the Jungle ESC: a barefoot, feature-packed boot and the result of nearly a decade of research and development, engineered to not just survive but to thrive in Earth's most challenging environment.
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.
Information:
Outsole: Outdoor Esc Michelin© Outsole
Upper material: VEGAN*
*The main materials in all our Vegan* products are synthetic and aren’t derived from animals. We don’t (yet) have the transparency we need over the production of all the small components (such as adhesives and dyes) used in these products to ensure they meet vegan best practices. So, whilst we believe the shoes are vegan, we’re not yet able to guarantee it and want to be fully transparent.
Lining: Brightly coloured internal lining to help spot unwanted flora and fauna inside before pulling them on.
Waterproof?: RAPID DRAIN AND DRY
Mesh construction provides efficient drainage and keeps out sediment and debris, while water resistant materials ensure the boot doesn't absorb water, keeping them light and comfortable.
Weight: Based on a single shoe in Men’s size UK8 - 540g
