Teva Women's Zymic Sandal

Product Information

If a shoe is uncomfortable, has a platform, or features some confusing criss-cross strap in a questionable texture that'll likely cause a blister, I'll wear it for hours until I bleed. When you're born in New York City to an immigrant family, there are just some things that never cross your mind. Story has it, the shoes were originally made by a river rafting guide who didn't want his flip-flops flying off his feet, and now, decades later, the sandals are flying down the runway.

The sandal’s sturdy velcro straps held fast and the cushioned webbing upper stayed comfortable even when wet. About 30 minutes into the hike I started to cry and slip and cry some more, while watching onlooking hikers ask us if we understood what a hike was when they saw our footwear of choice. I truly love the way they look styled with long sheer dresses for summer, and there's something about the unexpected juxtaposition that makes them extremely cool in the not-trying-to-be-cool way.If you’re looking for travel inspiration, destination guides, money-saving tips and itineraries you’ve come to the right place. While on a trip with the brand in Joshua Tree this past May, I was able to get the full Teva experience for myself, wearing the famous sandals to go on many a hike during the day and then dressing them up with sheer Réalisation Par dresses at night for dinner in the desert. Sandy Liang and Collina Strada both had models wearing simple black Hurricane Tevas with their looks, and Anna Sui even collaborated with the brand on a collection featuring colorful, patterned flatforms.

An average pair of Teva sandals should last around five years which means they’re incredibly sustainable. The terrain is mainly grassy, uphill and downhill with one or two steep inclines, which are gravelly and can be slippery. They’re not the cheapest sandals but they’re also not the most expensive and the fact that they will last for years means that ultimately they’re very good value for money.

I even saw them while walking around Dimes Square in New York last weekend, paired with archival Cavalli, naturally.

At street style summits like Copenhagen Fashion Week, you're just as likely to see a pair of Tevas paired with a Cecilie Bahnsen dress as you are a pair of Margiela Tabis. As one might assume from my decision to wear Converse sneakers on the hike, practical footwear is not at all my speciality. The thick, flexible, mid-sole provided a comfortable scramble down the beach making easy work of bulky pebbles, slippery shingle and soft sand.
