teva

Teva was created in the Grand Canyon in 1984 when a resourceful river guide, Mark Thatcher, attached two Velcro watchbands to a pair of flip-flops to create a shoe that wouldn't float away. This invention pioneered the sport-sandal category. For four decades, the brand has built on this foundation of utility and adventure, becoming an icon of functional design and comfort. Its signature Universal Strapping System provides a secure, comfortable fit that has transcended its outdoor roots. While its core products remain sandals, Teva has expanded to include hiking boots, trail running shoes, and everyday footwear for men, women, and children. Since 2020, all of Teva's iconic straps have been made from traceable, verifiable recycled plastic. This commitment to sustainability, combined with its heritage of practical design, defines its modern identity.
