Cover Story: Teva events in the near future.
Teva has also launched the Zilch, a new barefoot sport sandal. It said this is the first genuine barefoot sandal on the market and is set to hit retail in March 2011.
Weighing in at only 7oz, the Zilch is the thinnest and most flexible shoe in the Teva range, but it is far from fragile. Combining Teva’s own super sticky Spider rubber outsole with a toughened soft-core midsole, the Zilch is hardcore footwear with incredible comfort. The highly flexible sole unit is adaptive and delivers perfect grip and control in the wet, Teva said. The flexible nature of the Zilch means that it can be rolled up, making it the ideal footwear for those who travel light, according to Teva. In the wet or when covering wet terrain, the Zilch flexes naturally with your foot, while giving you serious traction via its Spider Original Rubber sole, Teva added.
Built with the ultimate ride in mind, the Zilch provides a distance of just 10mm between the foot and the ground, giving an ‘amazing sense and feel for every surface you travel over’. The thin but ultra-gripping sole ensures the wearer’s feet keep firmly on the ground, whatever the conditions and whatever the terrain. A topsole crafted from slow recovery material, means every person experiences the Zilch differently. In use, feet sink gently into the sandal
and wearers get to ‘feel’ the shoe according to their unique combination of weight, stance and gait. This sinking action works with an outsole which wraps around the foot, to give a superior level of stability that also ensures the sandal stays firmly in place when you need it most. “The Zilch is the perfect balance of Teva heritage, hi-tech functionality and fashion styling. It is the perfect sandal with which to set free your inner adventurer,” Teva said.
