Rock Hopper Shoe by Fourth Element
Fourth Element Rock Hopper Shoe: Versatile Foot Protection
Shore entries often demand a hike over treacherous terrain before you even hit the water. Fourth Element built the Rock Hopper shoe to give you lightweight protection when you climb over jagged rocks. A 100 percent natural rubber outsole works alongside an ergonomic footbed to deliver intense comfort and reliable grip on uneven surfaces. Once you start your dive, these shoes transition perfectly into your open heel fins. A built-in fin strap retainer and dedicated heel reinforcement lock your fins securely in place so you never lose kicking power. The bridge of your foot also receives a durable lining to prevent painful rubbing from tight fin pockets.
OceanPositive Warmth and Fit
Keeping your feet warm prevents early dive termination. The 3 mm (0.12 inch) stretch neoprene provides essential thermal insulation for temperate waters. A smoothskin ankle seal creates a tight barrier against your skin. This specific seal minimizes cold water flushing and guarantees the shoe stays firmly planted on your foot while you walk, climb, or kick. Fourth Element commits to environmentally friendly manufacturing through their OceanPositive initiative. They line the upper portion of the shoe using a flexible blend of 12 percent elastane and 88 percent recycled polyester derived directly from recycled plastic bottles.
