Vivobarefoot, maker of some of the best barefoot running shoes we've tested, has released a new range of footwear made for hiking in tough conditions. The Ecological Survival Collection (ESC) includes two boots and a shoe, all made for exploring different types of terrain.
First of all, there's the Magna Forest Esc, which is a lightweight, low-cut boot made with fast hiking in mind. It's flexible and breathable, with a Michelin rubber outsole, Ortholite insole (made using 98% recycled foam), and a puncture-resistant finish so you can feel the forest floor without worrying about rocks and roots. It's priced at £185 and comes in two colors: bracken (shown below) and obsidian/lime.
