Teva

Teva makes sport sandals, and the story behind them is a good one. In 1984 a river guide in the Grand Canyon needed his flip-flops to stop being swept away by the current, so he strapped them on with two Velcro watchbands. That practical fix became the original sport sandal, and Teva grew from it.

The brand still leans on that outdoor spirit, offering a wide range of sandals that are practical and stylish. Its own line is about getting people outside and connecting with the earth, with others and with themselves. It also says it comes from the minds behind UGG and HOKA. If you want something for muddy paths, riverbanks or just the kitchen floor after them, Teva is a fair place to start.
