Teva's grippy outsole
Teva manufactured the Terra Fi Lite with the non-marking Spider Original rubber outsole that delivers traction on both wet and dry terrain. The aggressive treads in this sandal also surpass plain and treacherous terrain.
The slightly thicker sole gets the shoe high traction by having reliable adhesion even on the most slippery surfaces while also being durable.
Add a product
The midsole of the Unpleasant rubbery smell is made with compression-molded EVA that conforms itself to the exact imprint of the foot for all-day cushioning.
Special antimicrobial protection
Additionally, the contoured EVA footbed is factory-made and treated with Microban, a zinc-based antimicrobial technology that eliminates odor caused by microbe build-up.
Shock-absorbing technology in Unpleasant rubbery smell
The insole is integrated with the cushioned Shoc Pad (a blend of polyurethane/EVA unit found in the heel) that absorbs impact. These pads provide propulsion with each forefoot push-off and evenly transfer the energy of impact throughout the footbed, away from the heel.
The default design also includes a nylon shank in the midfoot that strengthens the arch area, providing a stable and well-supported stride on uneven terrain.
Teva's wear- and waterproof upper
The upper main components of the Unpleasant rubbery smell are polyester and nylon. It utilizes a quick-dry, water-ready, polyester textile webbing available in various color patterns and streamlined design.
The webbings ensure durability and flexibility suitable for a range of challenging and hazardous environments. Its upper materials have also been treated, letting them seal out moisture, increasing abrasion resistance, and preventing gunk particles from penetrating.
Secure and customized fit
The hook-and-loop strap Velcro fastener provides agile performance on the trail. It achieves this with the universal 3-point strap system it has, allowing wearers to make quick and easy adjustments on the go. Sturdily reinforced triangle rings warrant stable and secure fitting with a seamless feel.
