Natural wild hide leather offers breathabilty and water resistance, while sharp styling pays homage to the contours of the land. Stand up to wild-at-the-edges urban living. OUTDOOR ESC MICHELIN© OUTSOLEThe wild sole for wild adventures. 2.5mm Vivos are designed with thin soles to help reconnect you with the ground, and provide flexibility for strong, healthy feet. 7mm Tread depth refers to the thickness of the patterns or "lugs," on the sole. These are purposefully designed to cater to specific surfaces and conditions, providing an ideal combination of traction, grip, and a sense of connection with the ground. The Outdoor Esc Michelin© Outsole has a 2.5mm base and 7mm lug height, engineered to maximise ground feel and traction. Made from high performance rubber with an aggressive off-trail lug design, this sole gives feet the strongest grip, even in the most challenging environments. When you’re climbing hills (or mountains), the articulated toe lugs act like claws, while the essential heel lug provides a critical break for steep descents.
