Teva Adventure Sandals & Open Footwear
Teva was born in the Grand Canyon in 1984 when a river guide created a shoe that wouldn’t float away. Today, the Teva collection at Kathmandu celebrates that spirit of utility and adventure. We offer their iconic adventure sandals and other comfortable open footwear built for the unpredictable nature of travel and the outdoors. Whether you're crossing a river, setting up camp, or exploring a new city, Teva provides reliable grip, quick-drying performance, and adjustable comfort.
The beauty of Teva is in its simplicity and versatility. Featuring robust webbing, shock-absorbing heels, and the easy, custom fit of their strapping systems, Teva sandals are the perfect hybrid choice for the casual walker and the active traveller. Plus, with a commitment to sustainability, many Teva straps are made from recycled plastic, letting you tread lightly on the planet.
Durable Comfort from Trail to Water
Custom Fit with Universal Strapping System
Teva's Universal Strapping System is the foundation of their custom fit. Using durable, adjustable hook-and-loop closures across the instep and forefoot, you can secure the sandal precisely to your foot shape, ensuring maximum stability and preventing the slips that can occur on uneven terrain or in wet conditions.
Sustainably Built for Adventure
Teva has made significant strides in sustainability, using traceable, verifiable REPREVE® polyester yarn made from recycled plastic bottles in many of its iconic webbing styles. This means you can enjoy the same legendary durability and comfort while contributing to a healthier planet.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Are Teva sandals suitable for long-distance walking?
Teva sandals are excellent for warm-weather day walks and casual wear, thanks to their cushioned footbeds and stable platform. For rough or long-distance trails, Teva recommends their more robust, closed-toe hiking shoes, though many hikers use the sandals as camp shoes.
How do Teva outsoles handle slippery surfaces?
Teva uses its own proprietary rubber compounds designed for wet traction. The lug patterns are engineered to shed water and debris quickly, providing reliable grip on wet rocks, river beds, and slippery pool decks.
How do I clean my Teva sandals?
Teva sandals are highly water-resistant. They can be easily cleaned with mild soap and cold water. For stubborn odours, a mix of baking soda and water can be used. Always air dry them completely.
Which Teva style is best for a casual look?
The classic Original Universal and the simple Hurricane styles are excellent for casual, everyday wear, providing all the comfort and grip of Teva in a streamlined design.
