Vivobarefoot Ultra Bloom III M obsidian/grey 42

This all-new colorway of the popular Ultra boot is a great addition to the family of boots made with Bloom algae-based foam - a sustainable alternative to foams from the petrochemical industry. The lightweight, flexible construction makes the Ultra boot the perfect travel partner. The Ultra III Bloom is breathable and quick-drying, perfect for adventures on land and in the water.

BLOOM is the first plant-based plastic foam that is partially made from algae biomass. These algae are a renewable resource and come from lakes and ponds with a high risk of overgrowth. Algae help maintain the ecological balance, but when they overpopulate they can damage aquatic resources and the life in them. By filtering out overgrown algae from these water sources, we help to mitigate the negative impacts on the environment. At the same time, by producing plastics from this biomass, we are reducing our dependence on oil, which, unlike algae, is a non-renewable resource. We return the purified water, from which we remove the algae by filtration, back to nature, thus keeping the ecology of lakes and ponds in balance.
