Legendary freeride mountain biker Jeff Lenosky can now add ‘shoe collaborator’ to his résumé. It's hard to find a part of the Links that Jeff didn’t directly influence. He showed us his pedal; we designed a sole that integrates with it. He showed us the busted toe on his last shoe; we added a flexible armor across the forefoot. He showed us his wet, muddy shoes; we found ion-mask™ technology that actually prevents the materials on the Links from absorbing water on a molecular level (true story). We built this shoe for Jeff, but anyone who has ever gotten on a mountain bike will appreciate his influence.
Alternative black lace included.
This is a men's model with extended sizing for women and children. We recommend women order 2 full sizes down, e.g., women's size 8 should choose size 6. Kids can order as normal according to size (youth sizes 3-6).
T.I.D.E. GRIP- Our Spider365 Rubber sole will hold its grip in all kinds of environments
- The sole of the Links was designed specifically to interface with the unique platform of a bike pedal
- Aggressive tread designs at the toe and heel will grip the dirt when you're hoofin' it
- Teva E-Brake in the heel features a reverse lug pattern to give you downhill traction when you're off your bike
- A rigid heel stabilizer keeps your foot centered in the shoe
- ion-mask™ technology actually prevents the materials in this shoe from absorbing any water on a molecular level. It sounds like sci-fi, but it's real
- Waterproof materials throughout the shoe make it easy to wash the mud off
- A rubberized grid over the toe area is a breathable armor that prevents abrasion or ripping
- Leather and mesh upper
- A Shoc Pad™ in the heel makes for a smooth ride
- Extra padding throughout the upper softens your landings
- Strong plastic wraps around the back of the shoes to protect your heel
- Elastic gores on the tongue give you a snug fit
- Our Mush® Infused Insole brings the absurd comfort of our flip flops into a shoe
Weight: 14.8 oz
Spider 365™
One rubber, huge range of uses. Spider365 Rubber is the spork of our rubber arsenal.
Shoc Pad™
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.
Mush® Infused Insole
Now we're not necessarily splicing Mush® genes back in the T.I.D.E Lab to build a hybrid mutant insole, but we do have an insole that’s worthy of the Mush name.
ion-mask™
ion-mask,™ technology by P2i, the world leader in liquid repellent nano-coating technology, falls into the category of what we call "magic tech." Imagine a process that allows you to make an object water repellent on a nanoscale, meaning that its very fibers repel water. It sounds like sci-fi, but that’s what ion-mask™ does to our shoes.
Pedlamp™
Slipping off your pedal can be painful … and really, really awkward. To prevent that, we worked with our team of professional freeride bikers to develop the PedalLINK outsole. It was designed to link up with the pegs of your pedal to keep your foot in place and in control. On top of that, it's got lugs at the toe and heel to help you get around when you're off your bike.

Comments about Links:
After seeing Teva's Kurt Sorge take the redbull rampage last year, I thought I'd try them out. I've been riding 5.10s forever. The Tevas are comfortable, look nice and have an AMAZING waterproof shielding. Unfortunately, these are for mountain biking - and have a very specific purpose... GRIP. Unfortunately these don't stick to the pedals anywhere near as well as my 5.10 Impacts. I was slipping all over the place in these, I just couldn't justify using them over my tried and true 5.10s. Bummer.
Bottom line, these are great for mountain biking if you are coming into the sport and haven't used other brands, but for about the same price they don't perform as well.

Comments about Links:
Basically when got the shoe thought it was the best I ever got. Not too sticky and the sole did it's job really well.
Really comfy on and off the bike - I wen't practically everywhere with it. Until basically a week ago when the sole started separating from the rest of the shoe. Major on the left, a little on the right.
Not a major fix with some glue, but from a couple reviews online I get it I'm not the only one with this problem. Pretty annoying for a top-o-line shoe and really let me down. I can understand such mishaps on no-name shoes, but Teva? No use for great features if they fall apart!

Q:
Will this shoe keep your feet warm during winter rides?Asked on 12/8/2012 by murray a newbie to mountain bike riding from NC1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
The toe area is covered in a rubberized grid to allow for air circulation, which means that the cold air will be flowing in! The Joyride features the PedalLINK sole, but does not have the air vents.Answered on 12/10/2012 by Teva Product Specialist
