Vivobarefoot Hydra Esc In Black For Women

The Vivobarefoot Hydra Esc in Black is a barefoot swimrun trail trainer built for athletes who move between water and rough terrain without missing a beat. This low-top trainer features a knitted mesh upper with moulded, textured overlay panels running from toe to heel, giving structure and a bit of grip protection without weighing the shoe down.

Look closely and you'll spot a wave and hexagon motif embossed across the ridged rubber-like overlays on both sides of the shoe, a design that isn't just for looks but helps the upper shed water quickly after a swim leg. The sock-like knitted tongue extends into the ankle collar, with a lime-green mesh liner peeking through at the heel and collar for a pop of contrast against the black exterior. A smooth synthetic heel counter with a pull tab, plus a fabric loop at the back of the collar, make this trainer easy to pull on with wet or cold hands.

Instead of traditional eyelets, the Hydra Esc uses thin round laces threaded through fabric loops and finished with a lime-green toggle lace-lock, so tension can be adjusted and secured in seconds mid-transition. Two lime-green rubberised strips sit near the ankle opening for extra hold. This is a specialist choice for swimrunners and trail-to-water adventurers who want a barefoot-style trainer that performs in both elements, and it pairs naturally with the rest of the Vivobarefoot Hydra range for anyone building a dedicated swimrun kit.
