Vivo Barefoot Magna Forest Esc Men's
The Magna Forest Esc is Vivobarefoot's fast, flexible hiking boot for rugged off-trail terrain and forest expeditions. A wide, anatomically shaped toe box and zero-drop platform let your foot move and splay naturally, while a knitted collar (RPET, elastane and wool) adds warmth and a snug ankle fit without weighing the boot down. The Wild Hide Leather upper is naturally water-resistant and membrane-free, shedding light rain and staying breathable over long days, and a Michelin Outdoor ESC outsole with deep, aggressive lugs bites into mud, loose ground and wet rock for confident traction. Suits fast hiking, fastpacking, trekking and multi-day expeditions through variable, wet forest terrain.
Features
- Michelin Outdoor ESC outsole with deep, multi-directional lugs (7mm tread depth) for traction on soft ground, mud and loose forest terrain.
- Zero-drop, 9.5mm stack height (2.5mm outsole base plus 7mm tread) for genuine barefoot ground feel with underfoot protection.
- Wild Hide Leather upper, a naturally scarred full-grain leather sourced from free-roaming cattle, with a synthetic rubber overlay for added abrasion resistance.
- Knitted collar (55% RPET, 15% elastane, 30% wool) for a snug, flexible ankle fit and added warmth.
- Water-resistant, membrane-free construction sheds light rain and damp trail conditions while remaining breathable.
- Removable Ortholite Performance insole (98% recycled polyurethane foam) for cushioning and moisture management.
- 100% RPET lining, plus an organic cotton blind insole and turned backer, reducing use of virgin synthetic materials.
- Lace-up closure with reflective laces (95% RPET, 5% reflective flecks) for visibility in low light.
- Wide, anatomically shaped toe box lets toes splay naturally for stability and sensory feedback from the trail.
- Fits true to size.
