Sandal hikes are the new standard this spring. Teva's newest offering will support your feet and inspire your adventurous spirit.

The warm weather today is making us hurry for the arrival of spring. Many of us may be tempted to move our bodies in a strange way.

That's where sandal hiking comes in. This is a familiar culture in the U.S. As the term suggests, it refers to hiking in sandals.

The culture that could become such a new standard in Japan is proposed by [Joon].TevaThe campaign for the spring/summer 2025 season is said to reflect this sentiment.

"For Playground Earth" is the key phrase, and two mountain-loving actors, Sawa Nimura and Umi Inowaki, are featured in the visuals.

The photographs are convincing, as the two enjoy being outdoors in nature in their private time. Of course, it goes without saying that their curiosity is supported by the Teva underfoot.

Let's take a look at the details of each sandal.

Hurricane Terra Dactyl ¥10,780

First is "Hurricane Terra Dactyl".

Based on the sole of the "Hurricane XLT2," this new model features the brand's first magnetic buckle, which allows the strap to be released with a single touch.

The instep and heel straps are adjustable for fit while the crossed straps at the top of the foot hold the foot in place. The two forefoot straps are elastic and soft, and support the blurring of the toes. In addition, the tri-rings on both sides and the padding placed on the heel make the foot comfortable as well.

They support the foot on uneven terrain and are easy to put on and take off with magnets. There is no better sandal to help the wearer in the harshest of conditions.

Hurricane XLT2 ¥10,780

Next is the Hurricane XLT2. This is the iconic model representing the brand.

The webbing is made of REPREVE®100% recycled polyester from Unifi, USA, for superior quick-drying and durability. The hook and loop fastener allows for easy removal and adjustment, and the strap ends are easy to grab.

In addition, mountain trails are prone to stress and shock to the foot, but the lightweight EVA foam midsole mitigates this, and the nylon shank provides good support for the foot even on uneven surfaces.

In addition, the DurabrasionRubber™ outsole withstands extreme conditions and provides superior traction. LifeNatural antimicrobial technology, based on peppermint, also helps prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria.

The Hurricane XLT2, with its functionality to handle all kinds of trouble, will make the wearer more adventurous.

Sandal hiking is a casual culture, something that can only be done in America. You don't know Teva. With Teva's sandals, even Japanese people can do sandal hikes in the mountains of Japan.
