Ultra - The lightest running shoe on the market

Press Release / 16.05.2011

Just over a year ago VIVOBAREFOOT announced its arrival in the minimalist performance shoe world with the launch of the bestselling Evo (over 50,000 pairs sold and counting). The Neo followed to great acclaim and now we are ready to launch the most audacious assault on cushioned, motion-controlled running shoes to date.

The Ultra is an innovative, dual density barely-there ‘cage’ for the foot. Weighing in at just over 100g, the Ultra features elastic laces and moulded eyelets -- easy to pull on and pull tight for serious action.

Amphibious, ideal for light trail runs or watersports, and good looking enough to wear in the city- this diverse ultra lightweight shoe redefines the minimalist running game.

If there is one shoe to pack this summer, the Ultra is it.

A modular construction offers 3 shoes in 1:

Purist: Cage and plug in tongue for full amphibious use.

Sock it: The sock can be worn independently as a ‘camp shoe’, slipper, or just a fun mesh sock for ultimate proprioception.

All in: Plug in anti-bacterial mesh sock for thermal and puncture resistance for more extreme pursuits.
