Teva
Sandals and Mark Tatcher
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 sandal’s 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 brand’s 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.
