Size and fit
This hiking sandal from Teva features a classic Universal-inspired strap design which is basically a Velcro-strapped type that securely holds the foot in place, resulting in surefooted steps all the way through. It features a fixed ankle strap and adjustable velcro ankle and toe straps linked together by a single outside strap. Such an intuitive Velcro strapping system makes it easy to dial in the fit according to the wearer's comfort level.
Prevents the wearer from slipping
The shoe outsole is made of durable rubber which works on wet and dry surfaces. There are two deep indentations going all the way from the top to the bottom of the sole which helps channel out water, preventing the wearer from slipping.
Ideal for hard and rocky terrain
This feature makes the Winsted sandals great for going to the beach or hiking near and around the water. The lugs of this footwear are quite shallow, which are ideal for hard and rocky terrain.
Keeps the foot in place
Delivering lightweight support and cushioning is a contoured EVA footbed. It has a slightly cupped shape that keeps the foot in place regardless of movements.
There are also some very shallow indentations or patterns that enhance the friction between the footbed and the underfoot, allowing surefooted steps.
Who should buy the Teva Winsted
The shoe upper consists of water-ready polyester webbing that is very durable and dries quickly after getting wet. This material is commonly used in manufacturing outdoor footwear in apparel because of its unbelievable strength.
Add a product
It isn't the softest strapping material but it is comfortable enough not to cause blistering especially when the correct size and fit of the sandal are achieved. Completing the upper is a hook-and-loop closure that enables easy on and off and on-the-go adjustment.
