Product Info
SWIMRUN ESC MICHELIN© OUTSOLE
The high-vis Michelin© sole for all-terrain traction.
BLOOM® FOAM INSOLE
The Active Bloom® Foam Insole is made using the first sustainable alternative to synthetic and petrochemical EVA foam, derived from algae biomass. This algae can damage our oceans, so harnessing it in our footwear helps clean up the environment.
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.
BREATHABLE MESH
Breathable, lightweight and comfortable.
PUNCTURE RESISTANT
The Pro5 Puncture Resistant finish is a lightweight and flexible 0.8mm layer on the sole. Protective underfoot to keep painful bits out, but still letting all the feeling in.

Swim and run wild
Built for amphibious adventure
The Hydra ESC is for wild runners, swimmers, and swimrunners seeking a deep connection with the aquatic biome. It’s part of our Ecological Survival Collection.
The materials drain and dry rapidly and stay light when wet. Hydrodynamic, quick-lock lacing allows easy on-the-move adjustments. A RISE foam insole, made with excess algae biomass choking up waterways, glides through water. And the Michelin© ESC sole grips even the slickest, most technical trails. Pinnacle swimrun footwear, pinnacle trail-running footwear.

multi-terrain
Giving you grip and ground feel on everything from wet and dry, rocky and firm terrain.

Bio-based KPU
Bio-based, moulded protection to improve durability and performance.
Recycled Materials
Made with recycled synthetic materials, preventing waste to landfill.
Like nothing on the swimrun market
- The quick lacing system features a lace pocket for hydrodynamic performance.
- The closed-cell Bloom® foam insole, made with EVA and 10% Algae Bloom® (which harms our oceans if not removed), absorbs minimal water to reduce wet weight and increase your water speed.
- The materials drain and dry quickly, and stay lightweight even when dripping wet.
