Like a good pack, an open soul, and a healthy
respect, some things belong outdoors.
In 1984 Mark Thatcher built the first
sports sandal out of inspiration and a
little ingenuity. Ideal for rafts and
rapids of the Colorado. His creation combined
the spirit of a sandal with the soul of
a shoe. Teva soon became synonymous with
a better way to amble through the outdoors.
Today the demands of the outdoor athlete
are as rigorous as the elements themselves.
From canyoneering and kayaking to trail
running and trekking, Teva® has moved
on-shore and up-range.
With performance features, new
technologies, and improved functionality, Teva
is the natural evolution in footwear for the
outdoor athlete.
Teva sport sandals were one of the first
sport sandals to be developed and remains
popular among outdoor enthusiasts and the
general public. Certain styles of the Teva
sport sandal incorporate a variety of proprietary
strapping configurations ideally suited
for outdoor activities such as hiking, boating
and river rafting. These strapping systems
generally consist of high-quality nylon
webbing or leather, are fully adjustable,
and hold the foot firmly to the sandals
durable cellular rubber, molded EVA, polyurethane
or leather footbed. Teva sport sandals are
extremely durable, with many styles designed
specifically for performance in and around
the water. In addition, the Company has
recently leveraged the brands success
in the outdoor markets by launching into
various natural progressions for the brand
including hiking boots, trailrunning shoes,
amphibious footwear and other rugged outdoor
footwear styles.
You can tell
a genuine Teva by its distinctive look,
including its unique lateral strap. The
look that shows a spirit of freedom, fun
and adventure. Look for it!
