Technology
The Teva Innovative Design Elements (T.I.D.E) Lab is a top secret facility located 35 stories underground where our crack team of scientists comes up with revolutionary and life-altering innovations.
Ok...maybe we exaggerated that a bit. The truth is that we love adventure, so we create innovations that allow you to live better stories.
We all love watching people fall down. That's 99% of the reason most of us watch YouTube (Google "Grape Stomp"). It's not quite so funny, though, when the person on YouTube is YOU. That's why we make sure all of our shoes are made to grip like three-toed sloths.
Vibram is the undisputed heavyweight champion when it comes to building ridiculously durable and versatile outsoles. So when we need bombproof and functional soles, we call up the crew at Vibram.
You don’t want to bring a knife to a gunfight, but you also don’t want to bring a bazooka to a pillow fight (that would just be weird). That’s the thinking behind our Durabrasion Rubber: it gives you a solid balance of performance and durability, but it doesn’t overload you with features that you don’t need on a daily basis.
Have you ever done the ice walk? You know…the "I’m terrified that I’m gonna fall on my face, so I'm taking really tiny steps and keeping my knees bent" walk? Well White Spider Rubber was made to keep up its grip in freezing temperatures, making the ice walk less terrifying.
Like the friend who can get along well with a 65-year-old nun and a 19-year-old jock, Spider365 rubber is unbelievable at handling a huge variety of environments and situations with ease.
A lot of people ask us why we named our original rubber compound after one of the nastiest, creepiest creatures on the planet. In response, we ask them if they’ve ever seen a cute little puppy climb up a completely vertical, soaking wet rock. No? We rest our case.
Our shoes love water. But we realize that even though you might also love water, you probably only like it in managed doses. It’s kinda like those people that are great for a little while, but then you’re just not sure how to tell them to go away. We figured out how to tell water to go away (nicely, of course). Whether it’s with quick-dry technologies for playing, or water shunning technologies to protect, we’ll do the dirty work for you... without burning any bridges.

What good is a waterproof membrane if it keeps water out, but also makes your feet sweat like a turkey on Thanksgiving? Our eVent membranes keep water out and also wick sweat away from your feet, keeping them dry inside and out. |
The best way to make sure your feet dry quickly? Make sure they don’t get wet in the first place. T.I.D.E Seal membranes will seal out the water (get it?) and keep you high and dry. |
Scientists have discovered that one of the most annoying feelings to the human body is the squishing of wet shoes. Drain Frame has been clinically proven to alleviate the symptoms of shoe squish by draining water instantly and drying quickly. If your non-Drain Frame shoes stay wet more than 4 hours, contact Teva immediately.
There probably hasn’t been a company in the history of footwear that didn’t claim that they had comfortable shoes. But consider this: at Teva, we damn near went on strike when HR tried to tell us we couldn’t wear flip-flops to work (then they realized that they also loved flip flops). Now that’s commitment to comfort.
You wouldn’t ride a bike without a seat. The same logic applies for our Shoc Pad technology, which will give you a smooth ride without inhibiting your performance.
Caution: Mush is the happiest four-letter word in the English language. It may put you in such a state of relaxation that you could momentarily lose touch with reality. Do not wear while operating heavy machinery.
Now we’re not necessarily splicing Mush genes back in the T.I.D.E Lab to build a hybrid/mutant insole, but we sure do have an insole that’s worthy of the Mush name. It’s kinda like sticking a comfy couch inside a race car.
