The Teva Aventrail is a first-of-its-kind footwear design that merges the best features of sandals with running shoes to better support trail runners. This boundary-pushing trail running sandal provides the support and flexibility users want by converging the responsiveness of a running shoe with the sensation of a sandal. "The difference between a true performance trail running sandal and trail running shoe is the elevated experience of freedom. This sandal has the qualities of a running shoe (grip, cushion, propulsion,) but now has additional high-performance elements," says Jean-Luc Diard, Global VP of Innovation at Deckers Brands and Co-Founder of HOKA.
Made with the backcountry, this hybrid boasts a W Strapping System, HYPER-COMF underfoot cushioning and a durable Spider Rubber outsole with tiered traction lugs for grip on trails.
